Pastor. Writer. Minimalist. Committed to a faithful life with God.

A place for thoughtful faith, honest conversations, and formation for the journey.

Welcome

I’m Shawn Kennedy—pastor, communicator, and follower of Jesus.
This space exists to share reflections on faith, leadership, Scripture, and the life we’re formed into together.

Whether through writing, teaching, or conversation, my heart is to help people live rooted, faithful lives in the way of Christ.
