John

Letters that preach John

John 14:18

Functional Atheism

On leading as though everything depends on you, and a promise that you will not be left orphaned.

John 14:5

How Can We Know the Way

On Thomas the practical and the needy — snarky, sarcastic, and brave enough to ask for what he needed when he needed it.

John 20:27

What Thomas Touched

On whether they were scars or still open wounds — and a resurrection that transforms suffering without erasing it.

John 20:1

Dew Still on the Roses

On arriving at the garden exhausted, being called by name, and the gift of an Easter afternoon nap.

John 4:17

She Is Not One Thing

On the woman at the well, the sins we assume she committed, and a gospel that refuses to flatten anyone into a single story.

John 1:39

Come and See

On revelation that arrives by the drip rather than the gallon, and the slow faithfulness of abiding together.
