About This Blog
The Tension Where Truth Lives was born out of years spent standing between the pulpit and the page… between proclamation and reflection… between certainty and honest struggle. After decades of preaching, counseling, and walking with people through real faith, real pain, and real questions, I’ve come to believe that truth is rarely found at the extremes. It often lives in the tension—the sacred space where grace wrestles with reality, where Scripture meets lived experience, and where faith is deepened, not diluted, by hard questions.
This blog is a place for thoughtful conversation, theological reflection, and pastoral insight. It is written for believers who love God but refuse shallow answers… for seekers who are curious but cautious… and for anyone who understands that faith matures when we are willing to sit with complexity rather than escape it. My hope is not to shout conclusions, but to invite readers into reflection—trusting that God still speaks clearly in the weight between words.
