Entering En Gedi
Thoughts on culture, leadership, and following Jesus in a changing world.
Every week, I spend hours reading, studying, writing, and preparing to preach. Along the way, I find myself wrestling with questions about culture, leadership, relationships, discipleship, and what it means to faithfully follow Jesus in a rapidly changing world. Many of those ideas make their way into a sermon. Many more never do.
Entering En Gedi is where those conversations continue.
Here you’ll find reflections on Scripture, leadership, ministry, culture, and the everyday realities of following Jesus. Sometimes I’ll expand on a sermon or illustration. Other times I’ll write about a leadership lesson, a cultural observation, or simply something I’ve been thinking through over a good cup of coffee.
What if the mess of your life is where God is doing his best work?
Your Mess Matters
If you feel lonely or less-than, ashamed or anxious, hear this good news: God has never run from some dirt and blood. In fact, that is exactly where He does His best work. If you believe God created us from dust and redeemed us through the blood of the cross, you can trust Him with your tangled life.
Your Mess Matters is a reminder that God is redeeming your life to be more beautiful than ever before. With vulnerable stories and biblical truths, this book guides you to entrust your story to Jesus and watch how He works His good promises through your greatest regrets. The encouraging insight and bold truth-telling will comfort your mind, inspire your heart, and empower your soul to let God transform your mess into a masterpiece.

Luke is the lead pastor at Quay Church, located in Orlando, Florida.
A quay /kē/ is a concrete, stone or metal platform that’s lying alongside of or projecting into the water for the loading and unloading of ships.
When ships have been navigating difficult seas, they will sail into a harbor and land at a quay. It is at a quay where you can offload old cargo and crew, and onboard new cargo and crew. Not just to stay there, but to sail back out with new mission, vision, and purpose. At Quay Church, Jesus Christ is the quay.
