I’m a writer, coach, and scholar exploring the intersection of theology, aesthetics, and cultural formation. My work traces the beauty of the divine through literature, philosophy, and the ordinary wonder of lived experience.
Through essays, mentorship, and longform projects, I guide readers and thinkers into deeper awareness—of God, of self, of story. I write about the theology of beauty, the imagination, spiritual formation, and the sacred threads hidden in culture, art, and even despair.
My writing has appeared in Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, Patheos, Faith & Leadership, and Relevant, among others. I’m the author of four nonfiction books, including The Beauty Chasers (2022), and I coach authors, thinkers, and creatives seeking to clarify their voice and craft with soul.
Along the way, I’ve been a touring musician, a seminary graduate, and a PhD scholar in the aesthetics of C.S. Lewis. I live in North Carolina with my wife and three daughters, where I teach, write, and tend to the wild things growing in the margins of modern life.
Here, on Substack, you’ll find reflections, fragments, poetry, and works-in-progress—part field notes, part pilgrimage.

More About My Work
I coach authors, creatives, and thought leaders through the slow, sacred work of discovering their voice. Whether guiding a bestselling author through a new manuscript or mentoring a scholar toward clearer theological vision, I help people uncover structure, soul, and momentum in their work.
I’ve collaborated on books, developed courses, and led formation experiences rooted in beauty, imagination, and cultural wisdom. I hold a PhD in Theology and Imagination, with research focused on C.S. Lewis, aesthetics, and the recovery of the transcendentals.
My work unfolds across disciplines—but always with a common thread: recovering wonder, deepening thought, and helping others move toward wholeness through craft and presence.
