The Practice Plan
Soo... turns out I've been practicing.
Welcome to The Practice Plan
(formerly called Anam Cara – spiritual friend)
Some of you have been here for a while. Others are just arriving.
Wherever you’re coming from, thank you for being here.
This space began as a place to continue sharing my writing — reflections rooted in Scripture, personal storytelling shaped by lived experience, and invitations to notice God’s presence in ordinary, complicated life. Over time, it has held meditations on grief and hope, sermons and preached reflections, writing shaped by seasons of waiting and healing, and words offered as companionship along the way.
This space is shaped by nearly five years of writing, listening, revising, and returning—a slow practice of clarity that has finally found its name.
As I’ve continued to write and live, I’ve come to recognize a single thread running through all of it. Whether the setting was a classroom, a soccer field, a family table, or a church sanctuary, the same conviction kept surfacing:
faith is embodied practice.
It is learned through repetition and attention.
It is shaped through relationship and presence.
It is formed over time, through small, faithful acts.
That is what this rebrand names.
The Practice Plan
A newsletter for embodied faith, practiced through coaching, teaching, parenting, and preaching—across every field of life.
Going forward, this space will continue to hold what it always has — reflective spiritual writing, sermons, and honest storytelling — while also making room more explicitly for the full breadth of my lived vocations. You’ll find spiritual disciplines and practices, reflections shaped by education and coaching, stories from parenting and adoption, and preached words rooted in real life.
Nothing here has been discarded. It has been clarified.
If you’ve been reading for a while, thank you for practicing alongside me.
If you’re new, you’re welcome here.
Wherever you find yourself — shaping learners, nurturing families, coaching and mentoring others, leading communities, and especially tending your own soul — this space is for faith practiced in real life.
When you’re in spaces designed to shape others, the best gift you can give is your own transformed life.
Let’s practice together.
