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 the ancient scriptures and our present cultural context, and I aim to bridge that gap 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 am serving at Holy Spirit Anglican Church, Akron, OH as Rector and as Dean of the Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes (ADGL) Pro-Cathedral.

Read John 21:1-14
The Third Sunday of Easter
Fishing, Breakfast, and the Care of Christ
John 21:1-14 is a lot like a seven-layer bean dip because, on the surface, we have a very straightforward story: some disciples go out to fish; however, they don’t catch anything during the night. Then Jesus tells them where to find fish, and they make an enormous catch, and then they eat breakfast on the beach with Jesus.
But after reading this passage, we can’t help but ask ourselves, what does all of this mean? What’s the significance here? Well, scripture must be mined. We have to dig beneath the surface, sort of like a seven-layer bean dip.
To keep my seven-layer bean dip metaphor going, when you dig a little deeper and get a full scoop of refried beans onto your chip, you will realize that this passage reminds us that Jesus will provide for his church. He will be her influence. He will be her strength, and he will be her power.
