On this rainy Friday morning, I’m tucked away in our home office. My oldest is practicing piano; our youngest runs through the house, having finished his math homework. Such are the rhythms of home schooling. Yesterday, I drove to Dallas and back to attend the biannual T.B. Maston Foundation Dinner, a fundraiser for a foundation which supports Christian Ethics in Baptist life, something near to my heart. I brought a few students with me from our program at ACU, and it was great to see them come alive to the possibilities of the wild moral life.
I write all of this as preface: I love my life, and writing and mulling over the Christian moral life is a large part of that. But it is not all the life that there is: I write this as an extension of my vocation, and as such, want it to be not just truthful, but useful as well.
I get notices whenever a new person comes along, but also when people decide they’re stepping off the train, and every time, it remains a mystery. And so, rather than speculate, I figured I’d just ask.
If you could take a moment, I’d love to hear from all of you who want to reply:
What do you gain from reading this? What would you like to see? What’s not working for you?
Comments are open.
Thanks for coming along.

I got here by way of Chris Green. I’ve very much enjoyed your work, and I’m sorry I’m not in a place to be a paid subscriber (what I read as a free subscriber would be worth it—but I couldn’t participate in anything for the paid subscription either).
The theological and ethical intersection takes me to my interests in seminary and undergrad, which definitely hit those categories, but as a sociology and ministry double major, I had limits.
Thanks for what you do!
