Scholarly Writing with a Pastoral Bent

Pastoring, writing, and raising four children doesn’t leave room for much else in life. But when not tending to these three callings, you’ll likely find Joseph at a thrift store, garage sale, or cashing in on a rewards program for free stuff. He loves a good deal!
