"The men of Israel were measuring themselves against Goliath. I was measuring Goliath against God. Those are two very different calculations."From the David letter · 1 Samuel 17 · Letters From Scripture
Every month, a letter arrives at your door — written as if from the hand of a biblical character, in their voice, from inside their story, addressed to you by name.
Reading the Bible directly often felt flat to me. I'd start strong, then slowly lose consistency. However, something shifted when I heard the stories brought to life — a preacher mid-sermon, or a Bible story playing quietly at night. That's when I'd actually feel it. The stories are where I connected.
I also know this: there's something about holding a real letter in your hands — paper, ink, something tangible. It carries emotional weight a screen simply can't replicate. It stays with you.
That's why I created Letters From Scripture. To bring those two things together — the power of biblical storytelling and the intimacy of a handwritten letter — and make that kind of deep, personal connection to Scripture accessible for everyone.
Letters From Scripture was built on a single conviction: the stories of Scripture are not summaries to be skimmed — they are lives to be entered. Every letter immerses you in the biblical character's world — the fear they felt, the moment their faith broke open, the specific words they spoke, and the hard-won lesson they carried forward. Then it brings that lesson home to the universal struggles of human life — the valley you are standing in right now, or the one you have already survived.
I write to you from memory now, but the weight of that day has never fully left my hands. Not the weight of the stone I carried — no, that was nothing, smooth and light from the brook at the bottom of the valley. I mean the other weight. The one that presses on a young man's chest when he stands at the edge of something he cannot take back.
Let me tell you how it truly was. Not the polished version sung in the halls of Jerusalem, where I am already a hero before I even step onto the field. Let me tell you about the morning I arrived at the battle lines carrying nothing more than bread and grain for my brothers — a boy on an errand — and heard a voice that shook the very stones of the valley. Nine feet and nine inches. That was what the men around me whispered. Forty days he had been doing this — the same speech, the same curse — and every morning the armies of Israel had looked at their boots.
I want to be honest with you. When I first heard his voice, something cold moved through me. But then something shifted. Not courage exactly — courage suggests you have weighed the odds and still chosen to move. What I felt was something more like indignation. A clarifying fury. Because I heard what the men around me could not seem to hear...
Every letter is a complete immersion — the full story as the character lived it. David's fear before he ran. His brother's contempt. Goliath's exact words. The five smooth stones chosen from the brook. The silence after the giant fell. Then the lesson that has lived in human hearts for three thousand years, spoken into yours.

In a world of screens, notifications, and content that evaporates, there is something different about a letter. You hold it. You put it on the counter. You come back to it. You fold it into your Bible. You give it to someone who is struggling. Scripture has always been addressed to a person. We are simply delivering it that way.
"For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope."
