Brian Jones Field Notes is for people following Jesus in a world that wants them hurried, hollow, and hungry for applause.
Each week, I try to help you understand Scripture more clearly, follow Jesus more honestly, and live with more depth in an age that keeps pulling you toward noise, hurry, and performance.
Some weeks that means Scripture.
Some weeks it means family, grief, beauty, poetry, church, the forest, sheep, prayer, or the strange work of becoming a real disciple when everything around us is trying to make us less human.
This is not another productivity newsletter with Bible verses attached. It is a weekly attempt to recover the life Jesus actually taught us to live.I’m not interested in hot takes.
I’m not interested in religious noise.
I’m not interested in helping you become a better version of the person the world already wants you to be.
I’m interested in following Jesus with depth, attention, and courage.
That’s what these field notes are.
Observations from the trail.
Lessons from the woods.
Things I’m seeing in Scripture.
Things I’m learning the hard way.
My name is Brian Jones. I’m an author, pastor, and hobby farmer living in Pennsylvania’s Unami Forest. I founded Christ’s Church of the Valley in the Philadelphia suburbs and have spent my adult life trying to help people understand and obey the teachings of Jesus.
This is where I write down what I’m seeing along the way.
If you are tired of religious noise but still hungry for the real Jesus, you are in the right place.
I’m honored that you’re here.
Brian
