Mid-morning in the living room: Macy is in her denim Thinking Chair reading a Bible storybook, while Gracie and I are squeezed side-by-side into Dada's Chair. I'm reading Solzhenitsyn; Grace is "reading" the Three Little Pigs.

I'm the husband of Becky, the father of Macy and Grace, a writer of books, and the pastor of a great church. Most importantly, I am a follower of Jesus.
My passion is for the spread of gospel wakefulness in the evangelical church.
