Consider this my attempt to put some of my reflections on faith and theology in one place. I’ll also share my thoughts on coffee and how we can live out our faith in a real, community-impacting sense.
My story
Welcome to Calais
I’m a recently-converted Anabaptist recovering from a lifetime spent in a fundamentalist Baptist church.
Our faith journey has led me and my wife and children to become missionaries (I don’t really like that word) in Calais, France. We serve the migrant community by working together with the Maria Skobtsova Association to offer a safe space for women and children.
