Preaching can be compared to the art of bridge building. Just like a bridge connects two separate places, my goal as a preacher is to create a bridge between the world of the Bible and the postmodern world we live in today. It’s not just about explaining the biblical text; it’s about effective communication and delivering a God-given message to a living audience who needs to hear it. There’s a gap between ancient scriptures and our present cultural context, and I aim to bridge it through practical preaching. Together, let’s bridge the divide and make the timeless wisdom of the Bible relevant and applicable to our lives today.
Currently, I serve as Rector at Holy Spirit Anglican Church in Akron, OH, USA, within the Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes (ADGL) and the Province of the Anglican Church of North America (ACNA).

Read John 10:1-10
Fourth Sunday of Easter
When I read these passages I’m struck that the active language is not always sin and forgiveness, but the active language is life and light and love and abundance. Which leads me to wonder, have we narrowed how we understand and talk about the salvation Jesus brings? “All who enter by me,” Jesus says, "will be saved.” Have we adopted a largely negative view of salvation? Salvation is often understood as the removal or deletion of our sin and failure. But here Jesus tells us salvation is the creation of new life and possibility. Join me in this short devotion as we explore "abundant life now".
