Hey friends! 👋

I know some new people are trickling in to my newsletter, so I thought I’d take the time to remind you all of my newsletter’s purpose. (Ahem, **clears throat**.)

The Anchored in Christ newsletter provides a curated batch of articles and free resources to help you grow in Christ and understand (and enjoy!) the beautiful and crazy world He has made. Expect a few emails per month.

If you’re new, welcome! If you’re not, thanks for sticking around. 😎 


Apparently Amazon now lets you follow authors. Feel free to follow me for notifications of new resources!

Two Incredible Stories of Prayer on the Bumper Sticker Faith podcast. In this bonus podcast episode, we share what the title promises.

I’ve created this page of recommended tools, software, and even financial accounts I use and recommend. I pray it may help some!

The Word One-to-One: Helping You and Your Church Share God’s Word. I wrote about a neat evangelistic resource for Open the Bible.


Free Course: A Flight through the Bible Story by Pastor Colin Smith. One student said this course restored her faith. I love the power and clarity of seeing a big-picture overview of the Bible’s story! This is a great resource for churches and small groups.

Free Christian Books and Deals for May 2023. A great roundup that features this free John Piper PDF.

What Tim Keller Taught Us. TGC complied a lot of tributes to the late Tim Keller, who died late last week. I thank God for Keller’s life and ministry.

The surgeon general’s warning is wake-up call for social networks. A growing body of evidence suggests that social products pose significant risks to teenagers. Casey Newton shares alarming truth.

Pornography Poisons Everything by Phil Cotnoir. (But don’t lose hope; Christ can redeem everything!)

10 Unforgettable Stories History Forgot by Jamie Frater. Interesting!

Podcast Recommendation: We Regret to Inform You: A Podcast about Failures. Did you know the original Back to the Future script was rejected 40 times? This well-produced podcast shares the rejection stories of big names. It’s not a Christian podcast, so listen with discernment.

The Ministry of the Pew: Sunday Morning for Normal Christians by Greg Morse 

AI Will Make Social Media Worse. In case you need some uplifting reading, check somewhere else! Here’s a TLDR version of Jonathan Haidt’s latest article sharing four threats and five recommended reforms (that I doubt will ever happen).

Correcting Historical Misunderstandings of Protestantism. Gavin Ortlund responds to a debate on the Candace Owens show correcting some false claims. Helpful!
