Over the past few months, I’ve been learning the power of pausing—of stepping back to see more clearly. Out of that pause came a vision shaped by grace, rest, and belonging. I share it in my latest post + podcast, A Vision to See By. Check it out on Substack or you fav podcast app!

Thinking about turning my Lenten devotionals into a book with a 40-day devotional + a couch-to-5K plan. It’d include runs, workouts, and resources to support your journey. Should I go for it? I’d love your thoughts!

Daylight Savings time change really throw off anybody else’s body clock? Just me?

Today’s devotion is about intentional stillness. We can’t always be on the run…stop and connect with God.

What's worse than a Monday? A Monday after you return from almost a week away at a Conference...

Failure can invite resurrection. Only if we allow it to not end our story but create space for a new one.

Excited to be in group with @www.pixelandpulpit.com learning more about the space of digital church and what it means to make community connections digitally. This is community!

Will you let love disrupt your expections?

A Call to Disruption—A call to love alike, to be disrupted and risk comfort for transformation! #freshexpressionsUM

Worship—Worth ship How much is it worth to you? #freshexpressionsum

Running isn’t just for fitness—it’s for your mind too! In my latest Substack post, I dive into the powerful connection between running and mental health. How can running helped your mental health? Let’s talk about it. #selfcare #running #runtogether

Important Reminder for Clergy: "Although God has called you to serve, God does not desire you to serve to the detriment of yourself and your own well-being. Clergy and ministry leaders are called to build a wholesome life that maintains a healthy work/life balance."

Be leaders in empathy, online and offline. That's what makes us truly human.

The more I think about it. America has never “removed God” from anywhere. What they have tried to do is remake God into their own image, thereby turning America into God. That is the ultimate sin of America

Love that NBC gives high school athletes air time during the Millrose Games!!!

Such an important perspective when returning from time off. Manage expectations and remember “why” you run!

A fresh new episode for your weekend long runs!!! We return to the 757 and chat with Montana Ross about her experiences in the Hampton Roads running community and as a J&A Racing ambassador. Another fun and awesome episode!!! Don’t forget to listen and help to support the podcast.

I GOT TO RUN!!! Originally thought the rain was going to stop me, but got myself out knowing it would make me feel better! And it did!!!

When it is a gross, rainy day, but you want to run—like really badly, but you're still recovering and trying to be smart. Guess I'll focus on some strength training and stretching today instead—and I am ok with that decision. #runsmarter #2025goals #running

This weeks sermon writing: Scripture: Luke 13:31-35—The Hens and the Chicks Remaining focused and committed in the face of risky and dangerous situations. Jesus comforts us in these times like a hen does her brood. I swear, I prepped this series back in Decemeber. #sermonwriting #thoughtsforlife

If you run, YOU ARE A RUNNER—no debate, no exceptions. No one can take that from you. A true running community lifts each other up, not tears each other down. Let’s embrace that spirit together! Dive into my latest writing and support the work that fuels this community.

Sermon This Morning: “What God Values”—Galatians 5:22-6:10 Focusing on living and producing the fruit of the Spirit. Bear witness of these fruits as we live. We cannot do this living by the law that causes oppression and injustice counter to God’s Kin-dom.

That moment after you do run club then pick your child up from her sport and you get home only to need to make the decision of nap or eat—which to do first. #tired #running #life

Yay it is finally February!!!

A difficult decision, but one I had been pondering for months now. As some of you who I am friends with over there know, I have officially scheduled my Facebook account for deletion.

This week my sermon is on Galatians 5:24-6:10 called "What God Values." Name some things that you think God values from us as we live our lives? #sermonizing #pastoring #helpapastor

Latest post is up on Substack: Last week—well week+—was quite a time for the Ware Family, so I unpack it a bit in this article and how we can all respond better in these crazy times to reset our manner of self-care. longrun.runninrev.com/p/its-been-a...

Really missed my mid-day walks and how they break up my workday. Slowly getting my self-care routine back into somewhat proper order.

New pair of shoes for a new season of running. #running

Whenever you have a long to-do list, just pick a task and start with it. The ADHD trouble with this situation is prioritizing tasks haha. So what do I do? Find the one with the closest due date. #neurodivergent #pastoring

The last day I would consider a regular day—no school callouts, sickness, school off days, or snow days— for me was January 16. And by some madness it is still January. #neverendingmonth

We often neglect the 'boring' items that matter the most: Sleep Eat real foods Move mostly easy, occasionally hard. Community & Belonging Stress & Rest go hand in hand Have something that: -You can win at -Makes you feel alive -Expands your perspective

I need to do a better job of self-care this week. #outloudthoughts

When I hear we get coffee from Columbia: “Why do I have to FO—I didn’t FA 😭😭😭

Anybody else feel like that was a long month last week?

I cannot wait for someone at church to ask me what I thought about Bishop Budde’s sermon.

As a pastor I can’t say I am surprised by the reaction Bishop Budde is receiving. It is an all too real reaction that congregations give pastors on a weekly basis when we preach the gospel.

For those of you runners recovering from injury, sometimes it as important not to run as it is to run. #runsmart

This is about running—this is not about running

This woman is not a “far left liberal activist.” She’s just an old fashioned Christian, doing what Christians have been doing for 2000 years.

As the RunninRev, I know sometimes, the title Pastor can be off-putting. However, please don't let it scare you. Here are some things I want you to know about me: Read on Substack #running #clergy #church #community

IT'S COLD!!!! 🥶🥶🥶

I have seen lots of folks sharing the part of Bishop Mariann Budde's homily from yesterday where she makes a plea to President Trump. I applaud her for doing so, and I would commend the entire sermon to everyone.

Another song I am adding to my regular listen to over the next 4 years. youtu.be/lx3FodgHElc?...

💗✊

And this speech has devolved to campaign rally rhetoric...

If you are listening to this speech and need a safe space, I am here for you. #safespace #selfcare

I formally request we replace "Battle Hymn of the Republic" with this gem from Audrey Assad: youtu.be/GTQWSfzY2mw?...

This Franklin Graham prayer is evangelical idolatry at its finest. This is disgusting...

Working on trying to De-Meta my online presence—it reminds me how embedded social media is in our lives in good ways, not just bad
