If everything has a cause, what caused reason itself?
A non-rational universe producing minds that reliably track truth is a bigger assumption than it sounds.
C.S. Lewis noticed it. I can't stop thinking about it.

Treebeard never said anything unless it was worth taking a long time to say. In an age of information overload, that's a harder discipline than it sounds.

💭 I’ve been thinking about the difference between conviction and comprehension.

In my new Substack article, I talk about clarity as a kind of formation: listening well, practicing intellectual humility, and being willing to say, “I don’t know yet, but I’ll keep seeking.”

Listening is often the most underrated part of faith conversations, so I wrote a new piece for the REACH blog on why 'listen first' isn’t optional, it’s foundational: "Listen to Their Story."

Apologetics 101: As Christians, we must be careful of adopting the philosophy that "the end justifies the means," a pragmatism that does not align with the model of Jesus.

What gets the result we want is not always what is good.

Jesus Never Said “Just Trust Me, Bro”
What if faith isn’t blind, but reasonable?
Let's unpack why faith isn’t anti-evidence—and why Jesus welcomes doubt.

This is not the Council of Nicaea.
It’s a podcast.

There are no creeds being ratified here...just opinions, overthinking, and a little chaos.

You can choose who you are—but what if that freedom comes with the crushing weight of having to generate ultimate meaning for your life?

In the UK, Justin Brierley has forged a career as a prominent Christian apologist through an unusual route—as mediator rather than preacher.

Something weird is coming.
Not random weird.
Intentional, layered, probably a little unsettling.
Exactly how we like it.

The countdown begins! With @MaryJoSharp, @PhoenixHayes_ , and @realadamcoleman 📷📷

The tomb is empty.
Not as a metaphor, but as a disruption.
A rupture in the story we thought we knew;
where death always wins and hope is naïve.
But Christ walked out.
And everything that felt final… isn't.
