Welcome.

I’m a writer, theologian, and creative guide whose work centers on formation—how we are shaped by beauty, story, attention, and love. I’m especially interested in how wonder and imagination train the soul, and how a renewed vision of the sacred can restore depth in a distracted age.

I hold a Ph.D. in Theology from King’s College London, where my research explored beauty and imagination in the writings of C.S. Lewis. Across my academic and public work, I return again and again to the intersection of theology, aesthetics, and the moral imagination: how truth is not merely argued, but inhabited.

I’ve written four books with major Christian publishers, including The Beauty Chasers (Zondervan Reflective), and I’m currently at work on several long-form projects—both scholarly and creative—exploring beauty, hope, and formation in modern life. Alongside my writing, I teach and mentor through courses, workshops, and creative coaching, helping others recover attentiveness, voice, and vocational clarity.

In recent years, this formational focus has come into sharper relief through projects like Oh Night Divine, an Advent series that invited readers into a slower, more contemplative engagement with light, hope, and the Christian imagination. Whether I’m writing, teaching, or walking with individuals one-on-one, my aim is the same: to help people live with greater depth, clarity, and joy.

I live in Waxhaw, North Carolina, with my wife and three daughters—and a goldendoodle named Cash (yes, after Johnny).
