There's a Trick of the Light I'm Learning to Do
This is a collection of songs I wrote and recorded in January - March, 2020 while on sabbatical from ministry. They each deal with a different aspect or expression of the Gospel. Click on the image above to listen.

Three Hands Clapping

Three Hands Clapping
This is my latest recording project (released May 27, 2019). It is a double album of 22 songs, which very roughly track the story of my life... a sort of musical autobiography, so to speak. Click the album image to listen.

A collections of original songs I wrote in 2015, and recorded with the FreeWay Musical Collective. Click the album image to listen.

inversions

inversions
Recorded in 2014, these songs are sort of a chronicle of my journey through a pastoral burn-out last winter. They deal with themes of mental-health, spiritual burn-out and depression, but also with the inexorable presence of God in the midst of darkness. Click the album art to download.

"Bridges" is a collection of original songs I wrote in the summer of 2011, during a soul-searching trip I took out to Alberta; a sort of long twilight in the dark night of the soul. I share it here in hopes these musical reflections on my own spiritual journey might be an encouragement to others: the sun does rise, blood-red but beautiful.

into unknown lands

Not that I think what the world most needs is yet one more blog. However, as I am now more-or-less finished my M.Div studies at Briercrest, and gazing into a horizon with no pressing theological issues for me to tackle, I'm realizing I'll need some forum to keep up with the challenge of reading/thinking/writing about God, Christ, church, Scripture, ministry and life. Of course, the horizon also has quite a bit of haze right now, as I try to faithfully discern God's leading for our next step in ministry, so I'm hoping that blogging might help me stay sharp as I wait through this transition time.

A word on the title: new to the blog world, I'm only beginning to discover how important a blog's name is-- it has to some how capture the spirit of the blog and the character of the blogger, resonating with that perfect combination of the unique-but-unpretentious and intriguing-but-not-too-obscure. Terra Incognita (Latin for "unknown land") probably fails on most of these counts, but it does capture my sense that my next step after Seminary-- as with most meaningful steps we take following Christ-- will be a step into real terra incognita. Lots of promise and possibility, no doubt, but also a good share of questions, wonder and uncertainty.
