Selected work

The 2nd London Baptist Confession (1689), a personal devotional commentary

At the start of this project, I was attending a Calvinistic-Evangelical church. By the time I completed it, I had been ordained as a pastor and elder in a 1689-confessing church in central Kentucky. I could not have chosen a tougher yet sweeter journey of faith. That has to be Christ's grace for me. Praise be to his name. This expository commentary is still a small part of my worship of the Christ who loved me and gave himself up for me (Galatians 2:20). I wrote it so that your joy and my joy may be completed in Christ (1 John 1:4).

Christ Came to Save Sinners

When you need to write a 12-chapter exposition on 1 Timothy 1:15 on the Order of Salvation for the Thanksgiving season, what do you do?

Scholarium writing workflow

If you're writing in Microsoft Word, you are doing it wrong. I built an open-source writing workflow that lets me compose in Markdown inside VS Code and export polished DOCX papers using pandoc, poppler, Zotero, and Better BibTeX.

Ansible basics playbooks

I created a set of simple Ansible playbooks to relearn and teach core automation concepts through practical server management examples.
