  • I want to share something I’ve been quietly working on… Your theology might be making you weak, sick, and tired. While Christian men have been taught to cultivate their spiritual lives, most outsource their bodies to the gym, fitness trends, and online influencers. The soul is sacred, but for most, the body doesn’t really matter. The result is a church full of men who know how to pray for their souls but quietly neglect or idolize their own bodies. Yet from the dust of Eden to the physical resurrection of Jesus, Scripture insists that your body is central—not peripheral—to discipleship. For the last couple of years, I’ve been working on a new book about faith and physicality. I’m excited to announce I’ve signed a contract to publish the book with NavPress. A More Physical Faith is set to release in 2027. In A More Physical Faith, I offer a Christian theology of the body and eight practical habits to better discipline your physical life. You’ll discover how the gospel transforms the way you eat, sleep, train, and live. You’ll learn how to: 1. Track what you want to ignore 2. Be honest about what you really want 3. Turn off the lights and pray 4. Eat what you can be grateful for 5. Lift progressively heavier things 6. Train your eyes on what is good 7. Take a little something when you need it 8. Think more often about death Whether you’re a lifelong gym-goer or just trying to get started, you’ll learn to recognize how the gospel is good news for your soul and your body. The book is an invitation to live a more physical faith for the sake of your body, soul, and witness to the world. I’m grateful to be partnering with NavPress to bring this conversation to a wider audience. Thanks to all of you who have purchased previous books and followed my work. Having an amazing audience like this makes publishing contracts like this possible.

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.

I want to share something I’ve been quietly working on… Your theology might be making you weak, sick, and tired. While Christian men have been taught to cultivate their spiritual lives, most outsource their bodies to the gym, fitness trends, and online influencers. The soul is sacred, but for most, the body doesn’t really matter. The result is a church full of men who know how to pray for their souls but quietly neglect or idolize their own bodies. Yet from the dust of Eden to the physical resurrection of Jesus, Scripture insists that your body is central—not peripheral—to discipleship. For the last couple of years, I’ve been working on a new book about faith and physicality. I’m excited to announce I’ve signed a contract to publish the book with NavPress. A More Physical Faith is set to release in 2027. In A More Physical Faith, I offer a Christian theology of the body and eight practical habits to better discipline your physical life. You’ll discover how the gospel transforms the way you eat, sleep, train, and live. You’ll learn how to: 1. Track what you want to ignore 2. Be honest about what you really want 3. Turn off the lights and pray 4. Eat what you can be grateful for 5. Lift progressively heavier things 6. Train your eyes on what is good 7. Take a little something when you need it 8. Think more often about death Whether you’re a lifelong gym-goer or just trying to get started, you’ll learn to recognize how the gospel is good news for your soul and your body. The book is an invitation to live a more physical faith for the sake of your body, soul, and witness to the world. I’m grateful to be partnering with NavPress to bring this conversation to a wider audience. Thanks to all of you who have purchased previous books and followed my work. Having an amazing audience like this makes publishing contracts like this possible.
