Howdy! I'm Jon Burnett, a disciple of Christ who loves the story of Jesus. My goal is simply to glorify God with his people, the church: to bring good news, to make disciples, to cultivate community, and to equip the saints (Ephesians 3:10, 21; Luke 4:18-19; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:37-47; Ephesians 4:11-16).

Over the past 16 years I’ve been blessed to serve as a song leader and teacher with churches of Christ in Texas, Maryland, Alaska, Ohio, and Georgia. And for the last 14 years, I’ve been doubly blessed to share this journey with my wife, Courtney, and our three kids. Along the way I’ve also earned masters degrees in humanities (2013) and logistics (2017).

For materials from some of my previous classes (audio, video, slides, outlines, and/or study guides), check out the following links:

• Knowing the Word: How We Got the Bible & 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
• Plus a few others on YouTube

If you’re a bookworm, here are some links on reading good books well:

• A Few Good Books (a list of my favorites)
• Reading the Great Books (why it’s so important to read the classics)
• A Glance at the Great Books (a short list of the best books in Western literature)
• Ethics, Epics & The Ekklesia (some of my own reading projects)

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

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

And God bless!
