Hi, I’m Eric

Professor, reader, and builder of a public life around the work that matters.

I spend my days teaching and researching theology, and much of my life is already full. The Restless Creative grew out of a question I kept returning to: how do you stay meaningfully present online when your work, family, and responsibilities leave little room for becoming a full-time creator?

I’m building a system for people like me—people with ideas worth sharing, but no desire to turn every waking hour into content.

Still making room,
Eric

Free. Practical. Start here.

Faith, vocation, and the work that matters

Your life and your ideas don’t have to compete.

I’m building The Restless Creative because I believe the ideas that keep returning to us are worth making room for. Faith has taught me to pay attention to what is worth loving; teaching has taught me to keep asking better questions.

This is for people who want to steward what they have been given and share it with others—without letting the internet take over their lives.

Make room for the work.
