Media and Selected Writing
I've had the opportunity to share my work through a number of media outlets and publications focused on faith, psychology, suffering and the search for meaning. These conversations and essays reflect the same themes explored throughout this site: how we live well in the midst of difficulty, uncertainty and change.
I was honored to be featured by the Knights of Columbus as part of a Veteran's Day series. I had the opportunity to reflect on service, fatherhood and the quiet work of accompanying others through suffering and healing.
I joined Wilmington Catholic Radio's Carolina Catholic for a conversation on meaning, suffering and the work of coming home, both literally and interiorly, after seasons of hardship.
I appeared on Catholic Faith Network to reflect on the integration of faith and evidence-based psychology, particularly the idea that uniting our wounds to Christ's as a path toward healing and meaning. In the conversation, I draw on Viktor Frankl and Marcus Aurelius, exploring how suffering—when faced honestly—can become a place of growth, freedom, and redemptive meaning rather than despair.
I joined Joe and Joe on The Frontline for a great conversation on warriors returning home and the reintegration process. We explored mental health aspects, like PTSD and moral injury, the importance of meaning in life, and the examples of the Saints.
