I’m so glad you’re here. I’m an author, speaker, advocate for justice, and the very biggest fan of Jesus, great healthy relationships, and belly laughter. I think of this space as my virtual living room: a place for real conversation, real questions, sharing the best books and ideas. Grab a hot cup of something and make yourself at home.
It seems reminding my kids a gazillion times to chew with their mouths closed isn’t working at all. So I decided to try a tip from comedy class.
There are many ways to be rich. In relationships. In opportunity. In talent. And sometimes we only notice when we’re listening to someone who is in pain because they lack the thing we have.
“Perhaps, in an ideal world, every big decision is come to by conversation and consensus, but in my world – that’s generally not how it happens. More often than not, we decide by compromise and concession, and the question is: how gracious are we after the fact with the decisions we were less than 100% gung ho about?”
This moment that feels like failure is an invitation to go deeper.

I heard once that astronauts would explode in space without spacesuits.
…Out here, with just my laptop and a wifi connection and the vast white wilderness beyond my window, I wonder if that might be true.”
