About

FaithSteps is simply about that–taking steps of faith with God every day. The Bible uses many metaphors that beautifully express what it means to live each day as a follower of Christ. Among my favorites are the metaphors of “journey,” “paths,” and “the Way of God.”

Perhaps these appeal to me because I can imagine myself walking in confusion beside Jesus like the men who encountered him on the road to Emmaus. At other times I imagine myself stepping out of the boat with Peter to walk on water, only to sink in failure when my fear gets the best of me. Then once in a while I begin the long journey with Abraham when God tells me to go some place I have never been before, so I do.

FaithSteps is about these every day walks with God. It is a site meant to give and receive encouragement from one another as we seek the paths of righteousness and faith together.

For those of you who are curious or find these things important, I am an ordained Baptist minister and have served as a staff church educator for 20 years. In addition to my church vocation, I spent a little time teaching in two different theological seminaries. I have two seminary degrees, one is a Masters in Religious Education, the other is a doctorate in Christian Education. Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to publish several articles, curriculum pieces, devotional guides, and books all related to issues of faith.

However, don’t come to this site, read the articles, and participate in the discussions because of any “qualifications” I may have. Come, rather, because you are a fellow traveler and we have much to learn from each other.
