Since 2020, I’ve been part of a brotherhood of brilliant (and sometimes delightfully nerdy) fellas who challenge my thinking and fuel my faith.
It all started after a life-changing trip to the Holy Land.
Our crew? One from Costa Rica, one holding it down in Omaha while serving in the South Pacific, one just outside New Orleans, and two from Shreveport.
What brought us together? A shared love for Jesus and a massive book called The New Testament in Its World by my favorite theologian, N.T. Wright.
That book took us nearly two years to finish — because life, travel schedules, and, well, it’s N.T. Wright. But when we finally wrapped it up, we celebrated in true nerd fashion by gathering in Waco, Texas to hear Professor Wright himself teach on Romans 8. (Yes, it was as epic as it sounds!)
Since then, we’ve tackled other weighty tomes like Into the Heart of Romans, Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes, and Jesus and the Powers. Each conversation stretches my mind, deepens my faith, and pushes me to ask better, harder, and holier questions.
Today, our group met again, and let me tell you — my heart soars every time I connect with these brilliant brothers. They inspire me to keep growing, keep seeking, and keep marveling at the depth of Jesus.
