Here’s just a few of the sights from new faculty orientation at @Baylor as I transition into an expanded role. It’s a great joy and honor to continue the work I’ve been doing in an expanded role this fall alongside more than 100 new faculty!

In partnership with the Congregational Collective and Harvard Medical School, we're launching a new project to expand research and resourcing about congregational engagement with the mental health needs in their communities. Read more from @Baylor here:

This may be of interest to some. We're hiring a Postdoctoral Research Associate to support our expanding research and engagement around matters of #Faith and #MentalHealth. Please share within your networks!.

This organization supported me at an important time as a Post Doctoral Fellow at @bayloruniversity’s @truettseminary, so it was a great joy to give back in some small way! Thank you @ericabryandramirez for your brilliant leadership of our time together.

Grateful to join friends at the @louisvilleinstitute’s Vocation for Theological Education gathering to talk about #PathwaystoBelonging and my vocational journey of writing for the church and academy.

Until next time, Vancouver. I’ve now spent half of my life traveling to and from the Pacific Northwest and Cascadia for various reasons. What began as an itch to ask a different type of question about #PostChristendom has become a space meaningful connections and hope.

We open #PathwaysToBelonging by talking about how belonging is an invitation to reality. Belonging is not simply a feeling, or a sense; it is a reality we all need. It is also a reality we have the opportunity to foster and offer in our lives and in our communities. @wipfandstock

Had a delightful day with @markrglanville and the team from the Center for Missional Leadership at St Andrew’s Hall. And do check out his new book on preaching!

Dr. Willie James Jennings offers a beautiful foreword to Pathways to Belonging from @wipfandstock. His words are 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Here and elsewhere, his writing invites all of us to participate in God’s ongoing work of making and remaking our sense of belonging. Check it out!

There’s been a growing conversation in my circles about two threads: 1) Bonhoeffer’s life, work, and witness and 2) our shared longing for belonging. I tried to pull these threads together a few years ago in a reflection for the Presbyterian Outlook:.
