    Paul’s Sermon at Athens

Hi, I’m Kaleb. For a while, I’ve considered myself a narrative theologian where scripture is a grand story full of hundreds of other stories about moving from Creation to New Creation, from death to life–all of it pointing to Jesus from beginning to end and his mission to make all things new again.

In 2016, I discovered the Narrative Lectionary and set out on my own life to new life journey. Over the last several years, I’ve come to learn and experience that God truly is the one who can take everything that causes death in our lives and breathe new life into it again because God is the God of the Resurrection.
