| Introduction | For the better part of six years, I've lived, worshiped, worked, and played with a community of Christ-followers at Schloss Mittersill - writing and editing, and exploring the radical living-out of the Kingdom of God. Prior to landing in Austria, I did advocacy journalism for a faith-based NGO, travelling on assignment to random corners of Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe. Originally from Houston, Texas, I studied history and political science before tackling two years of postgraduate work in Christian Spirituality and Culture. |
