But you should. 2000 years ago, Jesus of Nazareth was executed unjustly, but he did not resist the fate. In fact, he came here to conquer death so that we all might have eternal life. After he was nailed up to the cross and tortured on the Friday before, a kind man offered his familial […]

The Last Crusade: A Lesson In Humility
I know this sounds very hypocritical on a personal blog that’s used entirely for the promotion of book sales, but please bear with me, friends. A friend texted this morning, someone far more spiritually wise than I, and it’s a very short, simple message worth repeating and remembering: Remember: the wind and the waves have […]
The Trad Pub Mindset On Christianity
I don’t follow many publishers or literary agents. For the most part, I’ve avoided them as I’ve found that they’re in a lockstep mentality both in the ways that business is conducted and in their views of culture. The cultural establishment’s entire mantra these days has become “don’t rock the boat”, while at the same […]
Star Realms: Rescue Run Nominated for Alliance Award!
Wow! Big thank you for all of the Star Realms readers who voted for the book to be nominated. This means a lot to me as a Christian and as a science fiction writer to be considered some of the top SF of the last year. I’ll also be in attendance at the Realm Makers […]

It’s a pastime for these people to get a little smug smirk and act like they understand the teachings of Jesus Christ better than you, when they don’t acknowledge him as Lord and […]
The Last Crusade: Christian Artists Who Don’t Suck
Whenever I talk about artist blackballing in the entertainment industry, almost invariably the first argument I come across is “well there aren’t any…” or “there are a low percentage of…” leading to believe that it’s just too hard to find good artists who aren’t insane and/or profess to be Christian. That is a lie that […]
The Last Crusade: Public Displays of Christianity
Last week, I popped into a gas station’s mini-mart and had a short conversation with the employee there. He was a really friendly older gentleman with an accent I couldn’t place, and I didn’t ask where he hailed from. We talked family, work, life, and it came away a positive conversation despite what probably were […]
Lent Day 1!
I did it, I’ve made it through a full 24 hours without checking my facebook feed. That’s the hardest part, right? It helped that it was a pretty busy day at work, but I don’t really find myself jonesing for that content. Most of facebook feeds now are all about negativity and fear mongering and […]
