Faith, hope and questions.

I’m a writer, educator and editor with a deep passion for justice and for telling stories that help make sense of our beautiful, complicated world. 

Blessed are the Undone: Testimonies of the Quiet Deconstruction of Faith in Canada, co-authored with Peter Schuurman, began with a set of questions about the Canadian Church, and carries forward the theme of justice that threads its way throughout my work.

And today, those questions feel more pressing than ever. That’s why I’m grateful so many people are creating space for conversations around the topics raised by Blessed are the Undone. Check out the creativity and hope in the titles of these 2026 speaking engagements for proof!  

(Clockwise from top left:) My conversation with Joshua Vis in Holland, Michigan, as part of a non-profit called Still Processing; coming soon to Vancouver, B.C, for the Reflector Project’s conference “What on Earth is Happening with Christianity?” and a podcast with the folks from Evangelically Departed; on a podcast with Matt Bellefeuille of Doubters Welcome, out of Vancouver; and with Erik Freiburger of Calgary on the Well Dwellers podcast in an episode called “Wells of Unravelling.” 

Each of these photos is a link, with access to free Q&As and more. To join in and share your story, sign up for “Broken Hallelujah“ — an online course on deconstruction themes in contemporary music that I’m teaching through the Institute for Christian Studies this winter. Fun, right?! We will be listening to musicians like Cohen, Springsteen and Noah Kahan, along with readings by Brian Walsh, Nick Cave, John Van Sloten, Kristin Kobes Du Mez and more. This is part of the ICS’s Free to Be Faithful community: all are welcome!
