Christian Fiction Teaching Faith
This is Who I Am
I’m a Christian fiction writer and artist from Texas (no southern accent, unfortunately). I suffer from an incurable passion to invent new worlds and an incessant discontent with our dim-mirror ordinary life. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and George MacDonald are the glorious triumvirate of my favorite fiction writers. I have a soft spot in my heart for the ancient heroes of the faith in Church History and their mission to communicate the good news of Jesus to people in their time. I’m fascinated by writing that can harness the imagination to go theologically deeper than classroom lectures could.
This Is Why I Write
I have a passion for transformative Bible teaching and want to challenge present-day Christians to train their imaginations toward mirroring God’s own thoughts and desires. Sounds like a pretty ambitious goal, right? But remember, Jesus didn’t come with PowerPoint slides and lecture notes. He came telling stories about the Kingdom of God. I believe the surest way to a mind transformed into Christ-likeness is an imagination saturated with the truth of Scripture.

Christianity as Dystopia
The Secular Dystopian Myth There’s a chronic misconception in most people’s imagination about Christianity and the Bible today. It’s the misconception that Christianity is dull, rote, and oppressive.
