The Study Portal
It's not all fun and games with DVD.
My Study
When we bought our house in 2016, with five girls, I knew I needed some kind of man-cave. But it also had to double as my study. It ain't the traditional study, I'm guessing, but I love it. Dad and I took several months, designed and built the entire thing from scratch. Love you, dad!
Some may think of me as just the Blurry Pastor, but my real heart is in studying and teaching people to love the word of God, no matter what the topic--as Paul says, "the whole council." I love taking deep dives into the Bible, to really try and figure out what's going on. I have this presupposition, you see. God's word really is the only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith, and obedience to God. I take that absolutely seriously. If my experience or my thinking and reasoning or even my tradition somehow contradicts what I think is happening in God's word, it means I have the problem, not it. There's where it starts and ends with me. To that end, I offer you through this portal as many resources as I can think of (there will always be more) to help you achieve the end of coming to know God through learning his word. After all, the word of God is a reflection of the Word of God, Jesus, who is the very image of God the Father, who saves us and loves us in Christ.

Articles and Other Stuff
I've collected and written many articles over the years, and I'll post them here. They will be categorized on the next page.
Academia
Articles and book reviews I've published or put on academia.com
Church Fathers
I've give you some great resources for looking into the roots of the Christian faith, historically speaking. We NEED to know the Fathers! We'll start with a general link and then expand as time goes on.
Confession of Faith
Some people seem to worship the Confession of Faith. Most people have never even heard of it. I believe it is a fantastic document that I would love for everyone to know about.
The Bible Project
These guys have done such a fantastic job helping people understanding the Bible.
Marrow Ministries
My homeboys over at Marrow are doing some great work for the kingdom.

The Torah Weave
The astounding work of Moshe Kline, a Jewish friend and scholar whose insights into Moses are absolutely mind-blowing. I don't agree with everything Moshe says, but the basic idea is spot on.
Michael Heiser
His stuff changed my life in ways few have. A friend and one of the most important scholars of the century. He is missed. This link takes you to his website, which is being maintained by his trust.
​
Burton Beyond
A scholar and a gentlemen, in the realm of fringe! Way more Indiana Jones than I'll ever be. Judd's work speaks for itself. Take your Heiser to the next level.
Poythress and Frame
Genius out of this world. Poythress has like 10 degrees and Frame's apologetics are written for normal people. Tons of free stuff.
Fighting Culture
Yes, Jordan is a terrible theologian. He's a GREAT critic of what's happening in the world. This page will give links to many who are doing this kind of vital work.
