WESLEY ARNING

Hi Friends,

My name is Wesley, and I am so glad you've found your way to my website. I'm a native Tennessean, but I attended Gordon College on the North Shore of Boston and then seminary right outside of Washington D.C.

​

One thing I am sure of is that the world does not need another personal website, and yet for some reason, I've decided to create my own. There's a lot of options out there, so I'm truly grateful you've stumbled onto this site.

 

A few things you should know about me, I love reading books that many people consider "boring." Having worked a summer in Yellowstone National Park I have a deep love for nature and I enjoy taking long walks up really high mountains. I have traveled the globe in search of the best mocha. I've found some good ones on the west side of Jerusalem, on a busy street corner in Nairobi, and a tucked-away coffee shop 30 minutes north of Reykjavik, but Starbucks for some reason is still the best.

 

To be honest, there's nothing drastically exciting about me personally or my life, but I continue to be amazed by what God is teaching me as I serve a church in Houston, TX. I have been deeply impacted by writers like Fleming Rutledge, Miroslav Volf, N. T. Wright, C. S. Lewis, and Wendell Berry. I'm also collecting (and reading) the biography of every U.S. president. 

 

Along with my wife Megan and our rambunctious daughter, we continue to discover what life and marriage are all about. We've found that life is just better with a golden retriever. 

 

This blog is a mix of sermons, theological ramblings, along with random thoughts that hopefully can make an impact on your life, or at the very least, bring a little light to your day. 

​

In Christ,

Wesley+
