Field Notes is a weekly reflection for overwhelmed Christians who want their lives back.
Writing from the edge of Pennsylvania’s Unami Forest, Brian Jones explores Jesus, the pain in our souls, the destructive effects of modern technology, and the wisdom of living the life we were designed to live. Through Scripture, nature, poetry, books, thoughtful questions, and the quiet practices of the Christian life, Field Notes helps you pay attention to what is happening in your soul and take the next faithful step.
These reflections ask what suffering, hurry, anxiety, disappointment, and modern life are doing to us—and how the words and presence of Jesus can expose the lies that keep us trapped, bring hidden pain into the light, and make hope believable again.
Brian Jones is a pastor, author, poet, and graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary. He founded Christ’s Church of the Valley, an hour outside Philadelphia, and has spent more than three decades helping people understand Scripture and follow Jesus through the joys and struggles of everyday life. He is the author of four books and is currently working on his fifth.
Brian has been married to his wife, Dr. Lisa Jones, for thirty-eight years. Together, they have three daughters, two grandbabies, twelve chickens, four Old English Southdown Babydoll sheep, and a snuggly red golden retriever named Meadow.
