Thank you for reading and pondering my thoughts throughout this year. While I enjoy writing, blogging is only a small part of what I do on a daily basis.

In March I will travel to Italy for a set of outreaches featuring American professors, then in June my wife and I will lead a group on the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain.

Last summer I finished a Doctor of Ministry degree, studying how to equip professors to tell their personal stories of faith in light of their academic discipline. I’ve now led several workshops along these lines, training dozens of professors.

Another hat I wear is that of a fund-raiser. As a Cru staff member I develop all the funds needed to cover our salary, health care, retirement benefits and ministry expenses— everything. A wonderful team of people undergirds our work. If you’d like to join them by making a contribution, you can do so at give.cru.org.

Thank you for your readership, and please stay in touch. I look forward sharing more as I travel through the Bible once again in 2025.
