As we celebrate Thanksgiving, I’m reminded of how thankful I am for this community of people who care deeply about truth, who keep showing up to learn, and who believe the Bible is worth understanding. I count it a privilege to study alongside you.
Special Announcement
Start Strong: A New Believer’s Guide to Christianity is now available for pre-order in ebook, paperback, and hardback!
Looking for a meaningful Christmas gift (that doesn’t scream “last-minute”)? This could be it. You can pre-order now. I’ve created a printable gift certificate you can tuck into a card and place under the tree. The book ships January 9, just in time to start the year with purpose.
