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 Deuteronomy 6.1-9; Mark 12.28-34
Pentecost +23B
For his first-century listeners, Jesus probably could have stopped with, "You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart". Because all that follows (soul, mind and strength) are implied in the biblical understanding of "heart". But for us as twenty-first-century listeners, we have shrunk the definition of heart to emotions. So when we hear "Love God with your whole heart," we might think Jesus means "Have only happy feelings about God."
