Discontent: How You Heart’s Desires Betray You
Men my age have been told our entire lives that who we are—our identity—lies deep within us. We’re told courage is pursuing that dream, no matter the cost. But it’s a trap, a dangerous lie costing too many men their commitments, careers, families, faith, and purpose. Discontent: How Your Heart’s Desires Betray You offers a new direction for self-discovery learned through the often misunderstood story of Samson—the Bible’s anti-hero, blinded and betrayed by his own heart’s desires—and his undiscerning, unimaginative father, Manoah. Their restless need for adventure and identity offers dramatic proof that discovering who you are can’t be achieved; it must be received.
In one month, I submit the draft of my new book, A More Physical Faith, to the publisher, NavPress. My first notes for this book go back to 2024. I share more personally in this book than anything I’ve ever written. Some people write and publish faster, but books usually represent at least 2 to 3 years of work for me. Just wanted to share this milestone. The book won’t be out until next year.

There’s a new tour open at Notre Dame in which you can take the stairs up through the bell tower to the roof. Pretty spectacular.

Tonight we lost my bird dog, Millie.
For thirteen years I followed her through woods and fields chasing pheasant and quail. She was there to welcome both of our kids home from the hospital. When I set up my writing LLC, I named it A Desk and A Dog because my dream was to write with her lying on the chair in my office. She did just that for years, resting beside me as I worked and helping me write several books.
There’s a reason so many country songs mention the bird dog they lost.
She was the best.
