What do we do now? In a season of fear, disinformation, and performative power, Resist offers a clear, practical path for faithful Christian resistance—rooted in Luke–Acts and the way of Jesus. This accessible guide reframes resistance as stubborn love: nonviolent, truthful, neighbor-centered, and full of hope. With Bible-rich teaching, real stories, and step-by-step practices, it equips individuals, families, small groups, and churches to resist harm while building communities of hospitality, peace, and healing.
Inside you’ll find:
A Jesus-centered theology of resistance: nonviolence, noncooperation, solidarity, sanctuary, and prophetic imagination.
Practical “Next Steps” for everyday disciples—at home, at work, online, and in public life.
Tools for discernment and courage: prayers, liturgies, and weekly practices that form resilient character.
Small-group helps in every chapter: discussion questions, reflection prompts, and simple action plans.
Stories that move us from transactional charity to kinship, so we resist not against people but for our neighbors’ dignity.
If you’re longing for a faithful, un-anxious way to follow Jesus in precarious political times, Resist is your field guide—clear enough to start today, deep enough to sustain the long journey.

A Field Guide for moving through life with purpose.
Running the Way is built on a simple idea: life is a long course, not a quick sprint. We run it best when we fix our eyes on what matters, travel light, learn from our stumbles, and help each other keep going. That’s the heart behind this site—a home for my writing, books, and practical tools for people who want to live with integrity, courage, and compassion.
You don’t have to be religious to be here. The metaphor comes from an ancient line about “running with endurance,” but the practice is everyday: show up, set your pace, refine your form, and keep moving toward the good.
What you’ll find:
Essays & Books — RESIST and new projects in progress, all in one place.
Guides & Tools — Clear, usable frameworks for decision-making, habits, relationships, and leadership.
Stories from the Road — Real people, real setbacks, real growth.
Community & Practice — Ways to try this out in teams, small groups, or on your own.
The course ahead will throw hills, weather, and detours. We’ll travel lighter by dropping what doesn’t serve us, steadier by choosing a sustainable pace, and braver by running together. If you’re ready to take the next step—one honest mile at a time—welcome. This is your starting line.
