Friends, welcome to The Book of Common Words, where we explore the Christian spirituality of being human through podcast, poetry, and prose about my life, art, and the Christian faith. I’m your writer, Aaron. This publication is 100% reader supported. Thanks for joining me in this exploration.

Friends, We’re talking to a new(ish) friend Matt Tebbe.

Matt Tebbe is an Episcopal Priest in Indianapolis where he co-pastors a church in Indianapolis (The Table). He co-founded Gravity Commons where he helps lead a community dedicated to learning how to follow Jesus and take love seriously in a post-christian culture of the 21st Century.

He holds a Masters of Divinity from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and worked as an adjunct professor at Trinity College, both in Deerfield, IL. He has written for Leadership Journal, Shattered Magazine, and contributed to the book “What Pastors Wish Their Congregations Knew” by Kurt Fredrickson and Cameron Lee. He’s also been a featured writer at Missio Alliance and The V3 Movement, and writes regularly on his Substack newsletter, A Sanctified Ruckus. He co-authored the 2022 Reader’s Choice Award winning “Having the Mind of Christ” with Ben Sternke. 

He and his wife Sharon live in the Indianapolis area with their children, Deacon and Celeste, and their affable golden retriever, Josie.

One of the best way to support my work is to share what you’ve read here with your friends and acquaintances. Every share is an invitation to our little community. Thanks!
