      <image:title>about - Hi. My name is Josh. However you ended up here, thanks for visiting! Whenever I stumble onto a new website, one of the first clicks I make is on the author’s “about” page. And here you are! (We must be kindred spirits.) When I arrive, I am generally hoping to learn a few things before I dig too deeply: who is this person? where did they go to school? what’s their theological bent? what kind of work are they doing? why should I listen to them? To satisfy all of you (immensely wise) people like me, I’ll get right to it. First, let me tell you the important stuff that is often minimized to a throwaway line at the bottom of the page: I’m married to Kate, and together, we have two boys, Abe (11) and Jude (9), and a new (to us) Goldendoodle named Old Gregg. Kate is a physical therapist by trade, but both of us function primarily as full-time chauffeurs for the boys, carting them to swim and baseball practices. When I am working, my main gig is as a PhD’d minister, currently serving a theologically progressive, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship church that I helped to start in Salisbury, Maryland. It’s called The Restoration Project (TRP). TRP is a unique community, and I’m immensely proud to serve these risk-taking, empathetic, thoughtful, and considerate, theological black sheep in our rural context. My educational history, I’ll be honest, is a bit of a mess, and not at all indicative of the sort of person I have become. But as Richard Rohr likes to say, it all belongs.</image:title>
