This is where Michael Dennis writes from the middle of real life: pastoring a church, loving a family, following Jesus, trying stand-up comedy, and paying attention to the city of Austin.
What you will find here
These are not formulas for managing life. They are reflections from the places where life gets complicated, beautiful, discouraging, funny, and full of grace.
- Pastoring and faith: honest lessons from leading people, carrying responsibility, and continuing to trust Jesus.
- Marriage and fatherhood: stories from family life, growing older, and learning to love people well.
- Austin and humor: observations from a city Michael loves and the unexpected lessons of stepping onto a comedy stage.
- Ordinary discipleship: what it means to follow Jesus in the pressure, uncertainty, and small decisions of everyday life.
