About
Reclaimed Waters is a portfolio of writing projects, sermons, and the occasional blog in which I discuss the significance of Christian faith and ecology. I'm passionate about exploring the interconnectedness of faith, nature, and the human experience. Through my writing, I aim to inspire and provoke thoughtful reflection on the intersection of Christian beliefs and ecological stewardship.
I invite you to join me on this journey of discovery and contemplation.
