Hello there! I'm Jon Burnett, a coffeehouse philosopher who loves the story of Jesus. As a disciple, my greatest joy is seeing Christ formed in his people (Galatians 4:19; Romans 8:29; Philippians 3:20-21; 1 John 3:2).

Over the past 18 years I’ve served as a song leader and teacher with Churches of Christ in Texas, Maryland, Alaska, Ohio, Georgia, and Hawaii. And for 16 years, I’ve been blessed to share this journey with my wonderful wife, Courtney, and our three amazing kids. I’m also a doctoral student at Amridge University.

If you’re interested, check out some of my previous classes:

• Knowing the Word: How We Got it & How to Read It

• Ancient Words: Daily Prayer in the Early Church
• Isaiah: Glimpses of the Gospel

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!
