One thing we have learned from conservative Christian believers and from progressive social activists is that community can be built around a common self-righteousness or around a common brokenness. Both are magnetic and contagious. People are drawn toward folks who have it all together (or have figured out how to look like they do.) People are also drawn toward folks who know they don’t have it all together and are not willing to fake it. Christianity can be built around isolating ourselves from evil doers and sinners, creating a community of religious super-piety. Christianity can also be built around joining with broken sinners and evildoers of our world crying out to God, groaning for grace. That’s the Christianity we have fallen in love with.

I believe that social innovation & the power of a healthy neighborhood can transform communities. I'm the husband of Michelle, father to Avery and the soon to be twin Hoffman Boys. We're the H-Train. We live in a historic neighborhood in South Central Fort Wayne. My day job is the Executive Director of NeighborLink Fort Wayne. Photography has quickly become my go to creative outlet that allows me to capture the moments of life that we hold onto dearly for my family and for others.
