From new birth to eternal reward; life management for God’s intended purpose. Spirituality is the intersection of principle and practice — the same way engineering is the intersection of design and construction.
Spirituality is the intersection of principle and practice — the same way engineering is the intersection of design and construction. Every article lands in one of three lanes.
The why underneath the work: doctrine, discipleship, and the unchanging foundations we build on.

View articlesEvery engineering project starts with a plan, but the field has a way of changing things. Materials don't perform, the site won't cooperate, and assumptions turn out to be wrong. Our lives are built the same way. This article walks through the reality of a project to show why discipline is the answer that keeps the build going, and destiny is the promise that God will finish what He started.
We give great advice to our friends and somehow miss the very same wisdom in our own lives. Solomon knew this struggle well. This article walks through Solomon's paradox, David's parable, and James' mirror of the Word to show how the story of Scripture creates the distance we need to see ourselves clearly, and the revelation we need to become doers of the Word and not hearers only.
The constant pace of media in our modern age is controlled by the Algorithm. It builds and feeds appetites that keep users hooked. This article compels us to push back against mindless development of the algorithm of our lives, to spiritually sensitive engagement. Apostolic Algorithms are lives intentionally ordered around prayer, fasting, and the reading of God’s Word, allowing the Spirit to reshape our appetites away from worldly distraction and toward the deep things of God.
To truly “practice” a principle, you have to move it from theory into real-life reps—imperfect starts, hard adjustments, and steady refinement. This article blends engineering experience with Scriptural principle to remind believers that faith becomes visible through consistent practice, which is more attainable than we often believe.
Sometimes the busy-ness of life can be overwhelming. The sheer volume of things to do can cause us to focus on getting things done and checked off the list. This article explores the difficulty of distraction in that sometimes it’s not lazy—it’s busy. This article is an encouragement to realign our efforts and focus on the main thing to ensure that we reduce distraction and expend our energy on what is most important. To keep the main thing, the main thing.

“Let’s build together.” — ETK

A Civil Engineer by trade, a minister with the UPCI, and a self-proclaimed Bible nerd. As an engineer I kept noticing the overlap between spiritual principles and the practical problem solving of engineering design.
This is where that work lives: the principles and practices, drawn from Biblical study and prayer, that have aided in building my life as a Disciple of Jesus Christ and an Apostolic believer.
In an oversaturated space I offer no ingenuity — only some novelty specific to a born-and-bred Hoosier with a “Kajun” heritage and some Louisiana boot camp. I pray these words are a blessing to you, in the name of the Lord Jesus our Christ. Amen.
