Thanks for waiting.
I paused Biblical Human a few weeks ago to see what it would be like not to write it.
I continued to publish my Newsletter for Christian Writers on Tuesdays, but I missed thinking more broadly about what it means to live on earth as a Christian—in a body, with a job, in a family, among neighbors, inside a complicated world.
So, without fanfare, it’s back.
Launching out again, I thought I’d write a brief and high-level manifesto—a definition of sorts—of what it means to me to be a biblical human. This way you will know what to expect in the near future from this blog.
A Biblical Human Is…
Someone who chooses to live—and takes their life seriously
Someone who loves God, not from duty, but from desire
Someone who stewards their body, mind, spirit, work, wealth, relationships, and influence
Someone who lives with clarity and intention
Someone who values joy as a real spiritual indicator
Someone who is honest, not just about what they believe, but about how they’re doing
Someone who respects themselves and others as image-bearers of God
Someone who grows, repents, builds, forgives, contributes, and keeps showing up
Someone who lives in light of eternity, but doesn’t try to escape today
Someone who lives whole, not fragmented—rooted in Scripture, connected to reality, open to the Spirit
I can and will come up with 100 more, but that’s it for now.
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about integration.
It’s about becoming the kind of person whose life invites trust, whose work produces value, and whose faith touches down in every corner of existence.
That’s what I’m trying to become.
That’s what this space is about.
“…that the man [or woman] of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
— 2 Timothy 3:17
More soon.
Thanks for being here,
Jeff
Glad you are back!
