Welcome

Joy2Welcome to my little corner of the world.  As a child, my favorite biblical narrative was Moses and the Burning Bush.  There are seasons in my life I am drawn back to this narrative where I imagine that in my conversations with God, they occur near the bush where he revealed himself as a fiery flame, but one that did not consume the space where it dwelt.  It in these spaces that I want to share in those conversations with you, on Holy ground, feet bare and souls revealed.  Thoughts, musings, and opportunities to have our own burning bush moments online and in person are all included here.  On this site you will also find links to my work, both academic and popular as well as contact information for how I can come to a space near you and share in this revelation of who God is and how we engage our world as bearers of his image.
