Show Notes:39. The Writing and Legacy of Eugene Peterson — with Drew Dyck

It’s hard to overstate the significance Eugene Peterson has had on me as a writer and pastor. Learning of his death a few weeks ago, I knew I wanted to take some time to reflect on his life and ministry.

On this episode, I’m joined by Drew Dyck, Acquisitions Editor at Moody and Editor for Christianity Today Pastors. Drew has been a reader of Peterson and had the privilege of interviewing Eugene on several occasions.

We reflect on our favorite Peterson books, what writers can learn from Peterson’s work, and what Peterson’s legacy will look like in the years to come. This is an important conversation for me and one that I hope reflects the deep respect and appreciation I have for Eugene Peterson.

  • Updated family photos (missing: 3 cats and the rest of the chickens...)
  • We couldn’t find her anywhere. Finally found her.… also, Ashley always beats me to posting the good photos.
  • 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.
  • Joyeuse Fête des Mères à la meilleure maman qui soit. On t'aime et on a de la chance de t'avoir. Partons en France !
  • Happy early birthday to myself.
  • Hard to beat.
  • 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.
  • Back from France.
