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.
