🎉 Today’s my birthday… and instead of just receiving, I’m inviting you to help me share my message with the world.
My next book, Making It Plain: Why We Need Anabaptism and the Black Church, drops this fall (Sept 2, 2025), and I’m forming a Launch Team to help amplify the message so it gets seen by the people who need it most.
If you believe in (or want to learn about) Jesus-shaped faith rooted in radical discipleship in the way and a prophetic witness aligned with the God of the oppressed (as practiced among Anabaptists and the Black Church) I’d love to have you on the team. You’ll get early access to the book, join me in a private FB group, and be part of a community helping bring this message to life.
It won’t require a lot of effort, but launch team members need to commit to preordering the book, reading it ahead of time, sharing their thoughts about the book online, and leaving a review for the book on Goodreads and Amazon.
