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.

To live in Jesus’ name I need to know Jesus and walk in his presence. I believe Jesus was resurrected and lives among us. I believe Jesus presence is alive with us now.

Just as Peter returned to his true self by deciding to follow Jesus, we, by deciding to follow Jesus, return to our true selves, beloved of God. Our lives imitate Christ’s life, our joys Christ’s joy, our heartaches Christ’s heartache.

Wednesday of Holy Week, April 8, 2020
We have historically assumed Jesus is commending the widow’s example to us. Before we can jump to a personal application, we need to make sure we understand Jesus’ original meaning. Is the point of Jesus’ observation to praise the sacrificial heart and actions of the widow? Join me as we explore, is it the widow's mite or might?

John 6:16-21 & Romans 8:15
No one is exempt from the storms of life. But just as the disciples who initially feared the storm later came to revere Christ more, so the storms we face can bring us to a deeper knowledge of God. “Who is this,” the disciples pondered, “even the wind and the waves obey him!” However, through our trials, we can learn that no storm is big enough to prevent God from accomplishing His will.

Text: Romans 8:6-11; John 11:1-45
We can either set our minds on “the flesh”, or we can set our minds on “the Spirit.” To take the first path, he warns, is to propel ourselves toward the endpoint of uselessness and death.
