About

    Welcome to daily conversations regarding living out the Biblical Story in the home, around the block, on campus, in the culture at large, and in God's creation. This site attempts to give you a glimpse into our heart, soul, mind, and strength in action as members of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship's Graduate and Faculty Ministry (GFM) and shapers of material for Emerging Scholars (ESN). For more information on the campus ministry and our friends in shared ministry, go to Christian Medical & Dental Association, MidAtlantic GFM, U-ConnectPGH.org.

Tom's spiritual autobiography, entitled One more day when you can live your life, can be read here and a summary of his Next Steps Paradigm here. In addition to posts on the Emerging Scholars Network Blog, he has two essays on the main site: Loving God in the Flesh in the Real World and Scripture Study of John 3:1-21.
