Substack
These days I most often write publicly on Substack, where I reflect on intersections of faith, science, climate, and the places I’m privileged to travel to. These informal essays explore ideas that don’t fit neatly into academic genres but are part of an ongoing conversation about meaning, hope, and our place in the world.

Language of God Podcast
I’m one of the hosts of Language of God, a podcast from BioLogos that explores the harmony between scientific understanding and Christian faith. Each episode brings thoughtful conversations with scientists, theologians, and cultural thinkers about questions where faith and science intersect, from evolution and human identity to creation care and wonder.

Book in Progress
I’m currently working on a book project titled The Spiritual Journey of Homo Sapiens. It explores how human beings have evolved as creatures who see, walk, and tell stories — capacities that shape moral imagination, spiritual longing, and the formation of communities. This project brings together evolutionary insights with theological reflection on embodiment, narrative, and meaning.
