Hello there! I'm Jon Burnett, a coffeehouse philosopher who loves sandals, simplicity, and the story of Jesus. My goal is to help others flourish in a life well-lived, rooted in character, compassion, and the common good.

For the last eighteen years, I have been incredibly blessed to share this journey with my wife, Courtney, and our three amazing kids. I’m also a PhD student at Amridge University studying biblical theology and ethics.

If you’re interested in learning more about the Bible, check out some of my previous classes:

• Knowing the Word: How We Got it & How to Read It
• Revelation: The Drama of the Apocalypse
• Hosea: Israel's Scarlet Letter
• The Big Picture of the Bible
• Ancient Words: Daily Prayer in the Early Church
• Isaiah: Glimpses of the Gospel
• Reading Jesus’ Bible
• Plus several others on YouTube!

If you’re a bookworm, here are some of my thoughts on reading well:

• A Few Good Books
• Reading the Great Books
• A Glance at the Great Books
• Ethics, Epics & The Ekklesia

And if you’re really a glutton for punishment, check out my thesis: Building Character: Positive Psychology and the Air Force Core Values (2017).

So, "Tolle lege!" Take up and read!

And God bless!
