About
Grace. Coffee. Mild disbelief.
The Morning Minister is a fictional pastor who wakes each day to the Revised Common Lectionary and too much coffee. His reflections are equal parts devotion, doubt, and dry wit—drawing from scripture, church fathers, poets, and the fragile dignity of daily life.
He believes faith isn't about having the answers; it's about showing up to the questions in good company. The Bible, in his view, isn't a rulebook but a group chat between God and people who keep losing the thread.
His voice blends the digressive empathy of David Foster Wallace with the understated wit of Hugh Laurie—gentle but never pious, skeptical of certainty, allergic to platitude. His humor comes from precision and honesty, not punchlines.
