Real Faith / Real Life

I started Grace, Truth, Coffee with a simple conviction:
Real faith has to touch every part of life.

Whether you’re carrying deep grief, wrestling with doubt, or just trying to make sense of the mess—there’s space for you here.

My ministry brings together the thoughtful clarity of Christian apologetics and the heart-centered presence of chaplaincy. I don’t believe in leaving hard questions at the door or pretending pain doesn’t matter.

Instead, I sit with people in their suffering, help make sense of their questions, and point both mind and soul toward Christ.

Cybersecurity by Trade. Shepherd by Calling.

My background is a bit unusual.

I’m a pastor and theologian.
I’m also a cybersecurity leader and AI ethics thinker.
I’m a former atheist and current Christian apologist and chaplain.

I’ve defended networks and defended hope—both require clarity, patience, and presence. That dual path shapes how I speak, teach, and walk with others. I live at the intersection of deep thinking and real-life ministry.

I know what it’s like to feel unseen, to carry invisible burdens, and to ask the hard questions. I bring that history—and that honesty—into every conversation I have.

What I Believe

Grace meets people where they are. Truth refuses to leave them there.

I believe in a Gospel big enough for your grief and strong enough for your questions.
I believe every question matters—even the angry ones. Especially the honest ones.
I believe in Christ—not as an escape, but as the center of everything.
And I believe in sitting down, listening deeply, and letting coffee and questions flow.

I’m also passionate about discipleship—helping Christians grow deep roots and live out their faith with courage and clarity.
The first skill I emphasize is sound biblical interpretation—because when we learn to read the Bible well, we learn to see ourselves, our God, and our calling more clearly.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore faith or you’re seeking to grow stronger in it, I’m here to walk with you.

“If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.”
— C.S. Lewis
