What I Write About

I write about the infinite number of intersections between every day life and the good news of the God who has come to get us.

Purity is to Intimacy as Integrity is to...

If purity paves the path for intimacy, then when it comes to leadership, integrity paves the path for true spiritual authority.

Integrity is consistency, it's being fully integrated. It's lining up our words and our lives. It's practicing what we preach. It is embodying and exemplifying the gospel.

Integrity is taking principles and truths and putting flesh on them by how we drive on the highway, talk about the people around us, take exams, treat the check-out lady at the grocery store.

Leadership and authority can be faked apart from integrity. But seldom is it faked for long.

When it comes to leadership, integrity paves the path for spiritual authority.
