Exciting news! My first book, Start Strong: A New Believer’s Guide to Christianity, is releasing in January, 2026. I’d love your help getting it into the hands of the people who need it most. This book is for anyone who’s new to the faith and wondering, “Now what?” plus their mentors.

August Podcasts

▶️04 What’s New About the New Covenant (2 Corinthians 3:1–6)

Why the “letter kills” but the Spirit gives life; how Paul defends his ministry without boasting; and why transformation is God’s work, not a technique.

▶️05 Why Paul’s Ministry Outshines Moses (2 Corinthians 3:7–18)

The veil, glory, and the Spirit’s work: Paul contrasts old and new covenants and shows how real change happens from the inside out.

▶️06 Why Paul Did Not Lose Heart (2 Corinthians 4)

“Jars of clay,” integrity in ministry, and the hope that keeps us steady when results are mixed and suffering is real.

▶️07 Why We should not Fear Death (2 Corinthians 5:1–11)

Paul continues his defense of his ministry by explaining how his confidence in the resurrection shapes his message, motivates his courage, and defines his integrity.
