The Road Ahead

The name comes from a line in Ellie Holcomb’s song, “Find You Here.”

You promise that You'll come and meet us on the road ahead.                                                 
And no matter what the fear says, You give me a reason to be glad.

After a tornado hit our house on December 11, 2021, the lyrics to that song have resonated with me in ways they didn’t before. It’s a reminder that even in the midst of our biggest fear and darkest nights, God will meet us there.

What You’ll Get

I love talking about creative living, faith, and sports. You’ll get a mix of all of it here.

The Road Ahead will feature periodic articles and devotionals written by me, a digest of interesting links to stories I’ve read and books I’m reading, as well as my latest podcasts and any updates on writing projects I’m working on.

You’ll also have access to exclusive giveaways for books and other things.
