Resources

Welcome to my page for resources and recommendations!

These are resources that I provide or that I’ve found helpful in my journey of faith, leadership, and learning. I only recommend what I truly believe can serve you well (though, except for my own resources, I cannot necessarily endorse everything written in each of these resources).

Please note that some links on this page may be affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. In addition, from time to time I may offer my own resources or products for purchase. Any modest income from these helps support this blog, my online ministry, and (as Paul might say) “to put food on the table” for my wife and me.
