I'm a pastor, blogger and podcaster living in Everett WA. I enjoy movies, music, pipes/cigars and I'm a flannel aficionado. My favorite place is the PNW coastline. I write words and talk about stuff.

I have a great love for the local church and my deepest desire is to see her flourish and grow even in these difficult times that we are in. That said, I believe we are experiencing the affects of a very serious issue that has some very serious consequences.
