I’m all for cancelling Netflix and what not. But how about we Christians also set out to make (and curate) some true, good, and beautiful art that can actually offer something compelling, lasting, and meaningful without empty platitudes.

So some exciting news . . . My wife, Bethany, and I will be opening an independent bookstore in our hometown this November. It's going to be called Goldberry Books and we will be selling both new and used book, with an emphasis on classics, poetry, and children's books... (1/2)
