Welcome to Field-Ready Faith
Faith is a journey — sometimes smooth, sometimes steep. Field-Ready Faith helps you walk it with confidence, offering Scripture, practical tools, and a little trail humor to keep you steady.
There’s a certain moment on the trail I live for — the pack is zipped, the coffee’s just kicking in, and the first steps are ahead. You’re not “out there” yet, but you can feel it coming. That mix of readiness and anticipation? That’s the sweet spot.
Faith works like that, too. Every day is a step into something unknown — sometimes it’s a shaded, easy stroll, and sometimes it’s a scramble over loose rock in the rain. Either way, we’re called to be ready.
Scripture is full of “field-readiness” moments — people on the move, prepared for what God calls them into. When Israel left Egypt, they ate the Passover “with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand” (Ex. 12:11). In Nehemiah’s day, the builders worked with one hand and carried a weapon in the other (Neh. 4:17–18). Jesus sent out the seventy-two with almost nothing but the clothes on their backs (Luke 10:4).
The apostle Paul put it this way:
“As shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace” (Eph. 6:15)
The point isn’t looking good in hiking boots — it’s carrying a heart, mind, and life prepared to go wherever the Lord sends you, with peace as your footing.
That’s what Field-Ready Faith is all about: walking with God in a way that’s steady, prepared, and practical — even if you’ve still got yesterday’s coffee grounds in your pack.
Meet Your Trail Guide
I’m Bryan — a Bible Geek, coffee enthusiast, budding backpacker, and lifelong learner who loves exploring the intersections of Scripture and everyday life. Some of my best lessons about faith have come with a Bible in one hand and a tent stake in the other.
I’ve learned that preparation matters — but so does knowing when to improvise, laugh at yourself, and keep moving forward even if the map just blew away in the wind.
The Gear You’ll Find in This Pack
Around here, posts fall into a few trusty categories:
- Field Notes — Practical, actionable guidance for everyday discipleship.
- Ancient Paths — Insights from the geography and culture of Scripture.
- The Campfire — First-hand accounts of God’s work in everyday life.
- The Trailhead — Scripture-first reflections to set your direction.
- Gear Checks — Recommendations for faith-building tools.
- Basecamp — Thoughts on rest, renewal, and anchoring your soul in Christ.
- Pour-Over — Coffee-fueled morning reflections and behind-the-scenes.
Some’ll be deep dives, some quick reads over coffee, and some might make you laugh — usually at my expense.
