Free Range Priest.
Like the chicken?
YES!
Because it’s still ministry, it just tastes better.

Free Range Priest helps clergy and congregations build vibrant, sustainable ministries for the digital age, fostering deeper faith and relationship with God beyond traditional models.
Free Range Priest is the ‘umbrella’ ministry. It’s the WHY.
You’re here for the theory of where church is heading in the 21st century, beyond the crumbling institutional thinking and organizational systems that last thrived in the 1960s.
You want to confront the challenges - and see the what’s emerging in the Future of Church.
Substack Seminary is the HOW.
If you’re already out there finding new paths for bringing Good News to more people, you might think you’re alone. But you’re not! There are lots of ‘Cage Free’ ministers trying to figure out new ways of being in congregational ministry, entrepreneurial ministry - or some of both.
Trexo: a gym for your soul is the WHAT.
Ancient Christian practice for modern life. Your soul needs to be stretched and strengthened just like your muscles do. The earliest Christians didn’t sit around and talk about faith - they lived it. You can, too.
St. Paul’s, Salisbury, NC is the WHERE.
Cage Free ministry is not just theoretical. It’s happening in lots of places! Including this small (but mighty!), traditional, mainline congregation with a big heart for the Gospel and an adventurous spirit to follow Jesus in new ways.
Free Range Priest is what was born when I started thinking: ‘there has to be a better way.’
A way of stepping outside (and alongside) of the old system and building new pathways towards sharing the Gospel.
A way to build the Future of Church by carrying the Scripture, sacraments, and traditions of the Christian faith in agile, networked, and technology-based systems.
A way to grow in our relationship with God by following the practices of the first Christians, and shedding a lot of the institutional baggage that is holding us back.
A way to stop worrying about bringing people to church - and start bringing church to people.
