Preaching, to me, is the work of building bridges.
A bridge doesn’t erase distance—it spans it. In the same way, every sermon seeks to connect two worlds: the ancient, living story of Scripture and the complex, searching world we inhabit today. The task isn’t simply to explain the text, but to faithfully carry its voice across the gap—so that what God has spoken then can be clearly heard now.
That gap is real. It stretches across centuries of culture, language, and lived experience. But it is not unbridgeable. Through thoughtful, practical preaching, I aim to help others walk that span—to see how the truth of Scripture still speaks, still challenges, and still transforms.
So together, we build and cross that bridge—discovering that the wisdom of the Bible is not distant or outdated, but present, personal, and powerfully relevant for our lives today.
I currently serve as Rector of Prince of Peace Anglican Church in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, within the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh (ADP) and the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA).

Read Matthew 11:25-30
This message was preached at Holy Spirit Anglican Church's outdoor event—Church Without Walls—it was recorded on an iPhone, so apologies in advance for the sound quality.
Jesus talks about rest in our passage but not just physical rest or mental rest. He is talking about a rest, which is much more important. He’s talking about a deeper rest and spiritual rest – a rest for your soul.
We are restless people our lives are often filled with hurts, regrets, and guilt, and to top all that off, there are many distractions. Sometimes we try to tune it all out with music, television, or various activities. But none of that cures the restlessness in our souls; none of that can make us whole again.
Augustine once prayed, “O Lord, you have formed us for yourself, and our souls are restless until they find their rest in you.”
