Learning to See
Learning to see God, ourselves, our neighbors, and the church through the eyes of Jesus.
Jesus continually opened people’s eyesnot only to who he was, but to who they were, who their neighbors were, and what God’s kingdom looked like. I believe Jesus is still inviting us to learn to see differently.
Through writing, speaking, conversations, and practical resources, I explore what it means to cultivate belonging, practice hospitality, become more curious about one another, and faithfully navigate a changing church and world.
You can follow my latest writing and ponderings on Substack, where I wrestle with questions about faith, leadership, belonging, and the changing church.
On the Belonging, Becoming, Beloved podcast, Rev. Dr. Frances Lin and I bring those questions into conversation with leaders, thinkers, and practitioners. Together, we explore what the church is becoming and what faithful leadership might look like in a changing world.
The Commons is my free Patreon community, a place where we can move beyond simply reading or listening and into conversation with one another. It is a space to interact, ask questions, share perspectives, and explore together what we are learning to see.
New Book Coming Soon
Learning to See: An Invitation to Notice, Listen, and Look Again
What if the problem isn't that we aren't looking, but that we've forgotten how to see?
Learning to See is more than a book. It's an invitation to slow down, challenge our assumptions, rediscover the people around us, and make room for deeper connections. Through stories, reflections, and practical exercises, we'll explore what happens when we begin to see ourselves, our neighbors, and our communities differently.
Coming January 2027! The book and companion workbook are scheduled for release in January 2027, and the journey is already underway through our Kickstarter campaign. By supporting the campaign, you're helping bring this vision to life and create opportunities for conversations, workshops, and communities learning to see together.

Rediscovering Vitality: A Handbook for Church Visioning and Missioning
Rediscovering Vitality invites churches and their leaders to rethink what it means to be a thriving community of faith in a changing world. Rather than focusing simply on declining membership, attendance, or institutional survival, the book challenges us to rediscover the Spirit's movement and embrace new possibilities for ministry.
Through practical insights, theological reflection, and lessons from ministry, Rediscovering Vitality encourages congregations to move beyond maintaining what has always been and begin imagining what God might be calling them to become.
Vitality isn't simply about growing a church. It's about rediscovering our purpose, deepening relationships, and joining in what God is already doing in the world.
