The Crux: Faith at the Intersection of Everything
Welcome!
I love to read. I love to write. I love to listen. I love to meaningfully engage with all that is available to us. Sometimes, a little too much. Good poetry, articles, essays, books, podcasts, movies, art, recipes and more make this life rich and abundant. And I believe that all of it comes from a deeply spiritual place. I believe that all of us were made to flourish, work, steward and create – in community. So The Crux is a step towards creating that community around wonderful, thoughtful, and sometimes challenging content.

Who am I?
I created the Emotionally Healthy Activist Course and podcast, and wrote 5 books, including Beauty and Resistance: Spiritual Rhythms for Formation and Repair and "Twelve Lies that Hold America Captive." I also lead the Center for Beauty and Resistance that educates and equips people to receive and reflect the Kingdom of God with integrity at five levels – individual, intimate, interpersonal, institutional and ideological. And I am available for individuals and institutions looking for coaching, consulting, workshops and group facilitation.
I have a degree in Creative Writing from Columbia University and an MA from the City University in New York in the Study of the Americas. Currently, I work as a Senior Resource Specialist in the Discipleship and Leadership Department focusing political discipleship with InterVarsity USA. Got questions?
