Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
Welcome to The Crux: Following Jesus at the Intersection of Politics, Education and Faith. This weekly newsletter exists to inform and empower followers of Jesus at the intersection of politics, education and faith.
I write The Crux on Substack and wrote Beauty and Resistance (IVP 2025) and Twelve Lies that Hold America Captive (IVP 2019). I also deeply appreciate biscuits, poetry, music and all things love and justice.
