Rise of the Anointed Series
Coming Spring '24
Launch
Sixteen-year-olds Demarcus Bartlett and Lily Beausoliel are among a select group of youth invited to an exclusive, all-expenses-paid conference at social media giant Alturas’ California headquarters.
Coming Spring '24
Fractures
The Anointed are back. Life hasn’t been the same since Alturas’s Launch Conference. There’s not much precedent on living a normal life when your best friends all are teenagers with secret superpowers.
Coming Spring '24
Anointed
The Anointed are fractured. After fighting superpowered teens and a dark spiritual force in San Francisco, they are in full retreat.
Is there a better way to grab the attention of teens than to mix social media, super powers, celebrities, and some rocking parties together into a giant conspiracy?
I honestly don’t think so, and for the first time since I read The Chronicles of Narnia, I found myself wanting to be sucked into this book, trials and all!

Escaping the Zombie Life – redux
I'm re-upping one of my favorite blog posts. Since Zombieland Double Tap just came out, and it's October, this is good timing for this. I gave this as a sermon back in 2011. I was searching for a hook, and ended up realizing using a zombie analogy would work for the...
A Glimpse of Eternity
A month ago I was able to connect with an old friend. We had both done a Discipleship Training School with Youth With A Mission (YWAM), with our outreach in Thailand. It was over twenty years ago when I flew out of the Bangkok airport - but Phil did not. He and his...
