What Matters?: Economics for a Renewed Commonwealth

This book explores alternative approaches to economic thinking that prioritize the health of communities and the natural world over purely financial indicators. Drawing on agrarian and ecological perspectives, it questions standard assumptions about progress and prosperity, proposing instead frameworks for economic life that support long-term communal resilience. The text engages with themes of local self-reliance, environmental stewardship, and the moral dimensions of economic decision-making, offering a critique of industrial and consumerist models while suggesting more measured, place-based alternatives. more

“A true poet is more than just a man who can write a poem with a pen. A true poet writes poetry with his very life. A true poet doesn't use poetic devices to con the heart of a woman but uses the beauty of all that is poetic to serve, cherish, and express love to the heart of a woman. Just as a true warrior is not a conqueror of femininity but a protector of femininity, a true poet is not just a wooer of a woman's heart but one who knows how to nurture and plant love in a woman's heart. Simply put, a true poet is a man who knows how to be intimate with a lover - first and foremost with Christ.”

“People often seem to think that when you're following the Lord and trying to do His will, your path will always be clear, the decisions smooth and easy, and life will be lived happily ever after and all that. Sometimes that may be true, but I've found that more often, it's not. The muddled decisions still seem muddled, bad things still happen to believers, and great things can happen to nonbelievers. When it comes to making our decisions, the key that God is concerned with is that we are trusting and seeking Him. God's desire is for us to align our lives with His Word and His will.”
