Special Preview: The Knight of Iaddash

Howdy! It’s been awhile hasn’t it? While I’ve not been blogging I’ve been hard at work on an exciting new series that I am currently in the process of editing. It will likely be some time before this story is ready to be released but I wanted to share a special preview with you all.

The series is called “The Knight of Iaddash” and it revolves around a young man named Kahsa who is called by a God to kill his old master Agar. The only problem is… Agar cannot die. The series is a two part saga with room for expansion that explores themes such as friendship, spirituality, and the quest for both freedom and strength.

If this has peaked your interest, here’s a chapter from the first book I’ve been working on. Enjoy!

How Faith Helps My Fear (4 Lessons from Psalm 23)

Covid19. It has turned our lives upside down. One moment I’m enjoying my senior year at Lancaster Bible College, and the next I’m going home because I am no longer able to work or learn alongside of friends. There were so many people I was hoping to spend the rest of my senior year with. And I treasure the fun that I had. But with the universities closing and classes being moved online, things will have to change.

This isn’t your usual blog post from me. This isn’t about a movie I watched or a book I am writing. It’s about fear. Its about living in world that’s constantly changing, the threat of sickness and death, and how we respond to it. Many of you might not be afraid of this Corona Virus, younger people have only mild symptoms, you may think it isn’t your issue. But it has become all of our issue. The rhythms of life in America have been halted, the new normal reigns supreme, and in this time of uncertainty, we are very prone to fear.

JESUS THROUGH THE EYES OF… (Worship Through The Arts 2019)

I enjoy writing poetry. In fact, one of the projects I am currently working on is a compilation of some of my best and favorite works. Until I release that though, don’t be surprised if you see a few of my poems released on this blog.

I wrote this poem for an event at my Church called “Worship through the Arts.” Each piece of art had to display the life of Jesus in some way shape or form. This poem seeks to look at Jesus’ life in a few different ways. I named this piece “Jesus Through the Eyes of…” for a reason. Many people today still wonder who Jesus was, but did you know that the people who met the real and historical Jesus must have wondered the same thing? Who is Jesus and why does he matter? What do people say about him? What does God say about him? These are questions worth pondering.

Enjoy!
