Two Quick Updates

An interview and an invitation

Hi friends,

This week’s devotional will be out Thursday, but I wanted to drop in with two quick updates I’m excited to share:

1. Interviewed on Church and Main
I had a great time talking with Dennis Sanders on his podcast Church and Main. We chatted about the growth we’re seeing at St. John’s in Park Slope, and why preaching matters—especially in churches looking to revitalize. Dennis is a thoughtful and generous host, and the conversation was a joy. Give it a listen if you’ve got some time!

2. Preaching at St. Thomas, Fifth Avenue
I’ve been invited to preach at St. Thomas Church on Fifth Avenue for Ascension Day. It’s a stunning space with a rich musical and liturgical tradition. If you're in Midtown Manhattan next Thursday evening, I’d love to see you there. And if you’re more of a livestream person (no judgment), St. Thomas has the most professional church livestream I’ve ever seen. You can watch it here.

Thanks for reading—and see you Thursday with this week’s reflection.
