Thank you to my paid and founder subscribers. Your support makes this work possible, and I don’t take that lightly. As a small gesture of gratitude, this eBook is for you.

12 Life Lessons From 2000 Years of Christian Theology is not a theology textbook. It is a practical, human exploration of what ancient Christian thinkers understood about meaning, courage, burnout, truth, growth, attention, and responsibility, long before modern life made those questions harder to name. Each chapter distills one hard-earned lesson drawn from figures like Paul, Augustine, Gregory of Nyssa, Aquinas, C. S. Lewis, and others, written in plain language and grounded in lived experience.

You’ll find reflections on why success alone feels hollow, why burnout is rarely a time-management issue, why growth never really ends, and how character is shaped under pressure. These were topics, we covered during the 12 Says of Christmas Gift Series and now they are compiled into an Ebook with additional information and nuggets about the theologians who taught these lessons and some beautiful artwork to go along with it. This is a book meant to be returned to, not skimmed once.

I hope it serves you as quietly and steadily as these ideas have served me.
