FAITHFUL RESISTANCE: Seeking the Way of Jesus Together
What if we embrace the mystery and complexity of Scripture?
What if the ancient stories found in the opening chapters of Genesis reflect humanity’s struggle with senseless death, oppressive empires, and what it means to be human?
What if we read the stories not searching for answers, but searching for the Most High God of the universe?
What if that God is bigger than the one we were introduced to in Sunday school?
Let There Be Light explores how these stories have been weaponized by some Christians to gain power over others, while inviting readers to consider alternative ways of interpreting very old traditions.
Paperback, 156 pages.
What if the Christmas story doesn’t mean what we think it means?
Why do Matthew and Luke present different versions of the events? Why doesn’t either Mark or John include anything about Jesus’ birth? Did Paul know about the virgin birth? If it’s so important, why did he never mention it?
What if the intention behind Matthew and Luke’s stories was to subvert political and religious authorities.
This Advent Season, explore the story of the birth of Christ as the announcement of a different kind of King, the King of an upside-down kingdom, where the last are first and the first are last.
The Alt King is Born revisits the familiar Christmas narrative from a fresh perspective for many modern readers. Over 28 short chapters, we will seek to unravel the mystery of what the authors embedded in their messages.
What does this mean for followers of Jesus today?

Faithful Resistance
I believe the Bible is a beautiful, yet complicated, collection of writings that were meant to provoke discussion, not end it.
My mission is to help people resist simple answers that narrow our thinking around spiritual matters, and the Bible, in particular.
In everything do to others as you would have them do to you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
- Jesus, Matthew 7:12 (NRSVUE)
God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness on the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.We love because he first loved us. Those who say, “I love God,” and hate a brother or sister are liars, for those who do not love a brother or sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.The commandment we have from him is this: those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also.
- 1 John 4:16-21 (NRSVUE)
