Writing Update

It’s been a while.

Just wanted to poke my head above ground to give you a quick update.

I haven’t written much here lately, because I’ve been working on a full-length writing project. Last year I signed a contract with Brazos Press to write a book. I’ve been working on the book over the last year, and I’m now in the editing phase. As a result, I haven’t had much margin to write here.

For those of you wondering, the book is tentatively titled Your Jesus Is Too American: Calling the Church to Reclaim Kingdom Values Over the American Dream. As you can surmise from the title, I’ll be asking people to reconsider the teachings of Jesus instead of being defined by American culture. There are chapters on things like power, politics, money, race, suffering, and the like. I’m honestly really excited. I’ve had a blast working with the team at Brazos, and I’m honored to have the opportunity to write a book.

I hope to drop some excerpts of the book here as we get closer. I’ll also invite those of you who are interested to be part of the launch team, to pre-order (if you’re interested in buying a copy), etc. The tentative publication date is October 2024, so I hope to have more details as Summer nears.

Thanks again for ever reading anything that I write. I don’t take that honor lightly.

More soon,

Steve
