Speaking

Justin has spoken in churches, classrooms, conferences, festivals, fellowship halls, and to random strangers on a Greyhound bus.

He's preached hundreds of sermons, led workshops, facilitated discussions, and spent considerable time convincing people that conversations about faith don't have to be boring.

His goal is simple: help people think more deeply and leave with something worth carrying home.

Topics Justin Enjoys Exploring

From cornbread to church suppers, food tells stories about who we are, where we come from, and what we value.

Prophetic Faith in Polarized Times

What it means to speak and write truthfully, faithfully, and compassionately in an age of division.

The Church and the Art of Community

Lessons from congregational life, what it means to be a neighbor, and the ongoing work of belonging.

Writing About Place

How stories emerge from diners, front porches, family kitchens, and church basements.

The Iconoclast Life of Will D. Campbell

A conversation about one of the South's most provocative religious voices and what his legacy still has to teach us.
