What Bad Reviews Teach You

SEER did not land the way I hoped. The reviews were not kind. Not in the way that means people were cruel — most readers are not cruel, they are just honest in the way that only anonymity allows. The feedback was that the story had problems. Structural problems. Things that a more experienced writer...

Why Some Men Never Grow Spiritually

I have known men who have been saved for twenty years and are still having the same spiritual struggles they had in year one. Same temptations. Same blind spots. Same arguments with God about the same territory He asked them to surrender two decades ago. They know the Word. They attend church. They have the...

December 2018

I self published SEER in December of 2018. No agent. No traditional publisher. No industry connections pulling strings or opening doors. Just a manuscript I had written, a cover I had designed or commissioned, and a button on a self publishing platform that said publish. I pushed it. The decision to self publish came from...

The Season Nobody Posts About

Nobody announces the valley. The mountaintop gets a post. The breakthrough gets a testimony. The answered prayer gets the praise report and the raised hands and the forty-seven comments from people who were believing with you. And all of that is good and right and worth celebrating. But the valley — the long middle where...

Craig Anderson and the Gift He Did Not Want

The lead character in SEER is a young man named Craig Anderson. Craig is fatherless. His father is gone — out of the picture in the way fathers sometimes leave a space in a young man’s life that nothing else fills cleanly. He has a mentor named Richard Kinson who steps into some of that...

In The Blood

Before SEER there was In the Blood. Same book. Different name. Same story of a young man named Craig Anderson whose dreams were coming to pass in real life and who did not know what to do about it. Same mentor in Richard Kinson helping him understand that what he thought were just dreams were...

When the Bible Stops Feeling Like Enough

There are seasons where the Word feels flat. You open it and read it and close it and feel nothing. The same passages that used to land hard now pass through without friction. The verse that wrecked you two years ago reads like a familiar street sign — you see it, you recognize it, you...

Reading As A Writing Education

I never took a writing class. No MFA. No workshop. No mentor who sat across from me with a red pen and a theory about structure. I learned to write the way I learned everything else that mattered — by paying attention to people who were already doing it well and figuring out what they...

The Difference Between Knowing God and Knowing About Him

There is a man who can tell you everything about God. The attributes. The names. The theological categories. He can walk you through systematic theology with confidence. He knows the arguments. He can defend the faith in a debate and cite chapter and verse without looking it up. His knowledge is real and it took...

The Day I Decided To Write

There was no single lightning bolt moment. It was more like a slow accumulation. Peretti. LaHaye and Jenkins. Dekker. Book after book building something in me that eventually had nowhere to go but out. I had been consuming stories for years and somewhere in that consumption a pressure built up. A need to make something...
