How will I live out my Analog Faith?

​

I reflected on that question many times as I anticipated my retirement in June 2026.​

​

I was 55 years old, and I had enjoyed an amazing career that spanned thirty-one years in the classroom.

​

I was blessed to serve students and families both in public and private school. I taught every grade level from intermediate through post-secondary. My work ranged from social studies and mathematics instruction to programs for gifted students and those at risk.​

​

Then, suddenly—or so it seemed to me—it was over.

​

Would my new work take the form of a website or blog, a podcast, or a collection of videos? Would I write books to instruct, to edify, to stimulate thought?

​

Any of those things may still happen, but I kept circling back to what I know best: 

​

Teaching.

​

Throughout my career, I also served churches as a lay preacher, a deacon, and a shepherd. My father did the same, as did his father before him.

​

I think of my grandfather, traveling on horseback to serve congregations across rural Kentucky. I think of my dad—also a teacher—preaching at small country churches throughout my entire childhood.

​

Schoolteaching paid the bills; ministry was a calling. And there was little respite from the work.

 

The fact is, preachers sometimes need a break. Even for one Sunday. A chance to clear their mind, catch their breath, consider someone else’s teaching for a change.

​

The need is there. Perhaps there is a place for a modern day “circuit riding preacher.”

​

I have decades of experience, the luxury of time, and a pension to cover the bulk of my income. From my home in Bowling Green, KY, I could reach a third of the country within a day’s drive. 

​

I am eager to edify and encourage.
To share the Good News.
To serve others who “share the same precious faith.”

​

I can envision it. I’m willing to go.

​

I am ready.

​

And you can help.
