Joey Woestman

Joey Woestman is a former co-lead pastor at Faith Church (EFCA) in Indianapolis. He is both book smart and accident-prone, which is a winning combination. He likes reading theology and philosophy books written by dead guys and is often found thinking about how the church should relate to the culture. He loves eating legit Mexican food and going on adventures with his wife, Jenna, and their daughter, Analie. He has three cats, chickens, and every hobby he can convince his wife to allow him to spend money on, and a pathetically large number of unread books on his shelves.

Remember, You Are Dust

An ancient practice helped our church reconnect with Lent. I think yours could too.

Friday Is a Good Day to Die

I’m not Anglican. But a centuries-old practice from The Book of Common Prayer changed the way I think about the weekend.
