This Christmas season, slow down and remember why Jesus came. This Devotional walks through the story of his first Advent, welcomes his presence into our lives today, and looks ahead to the hope of his return.

Hi, I'm John.

For the past 30 years, I’ve taught the Bible in both church and academic settings, including the last 20 years with undergraduate and graduate students in the U.S. and the U.K.

I’m passionate about helping people read and study Scripture with clarity and insight so they can experience the richness of God’s Word and put it into practice. When I’m not teaching or creating resources, you’ll find me talking about God and the Bible or cheering on the New England Patriots, usually with a good cup of coffee in hand (and one of my favorite mugs from my collection). I’m really glad you’re here, and I hope these resources encourage you in your walk with God!
