About
Aaron J. Smith
I'm a poet, theologian, spiritual director, and something of a mess — in the way that paying attention to the world tends to make you.
I follow the way of Jesus without needing the institution to come with it. My theology begins in the body: Christ's, mine, and the world's. I hold kenosis — self-donating love — as the through-line connecting the Trinity, the cross, the table, and the life we're asked to live.
I grew up in Utah. I live in the Pacific Northwest with my wife and two kids. I drink too much coffee and not enough water.
