This week on All Things Made New, we’re talking with Marc Alan Schelske about his new book, Walking Otherward.
Marc Alan Schelske is a happily recovering fundamentalist praying for the restoration of all things. He writes and teaches about spiritual maturity, emotional growth, and the other-centered, co-suffering way of Jesus. He is a small-church pastor nearing thirty years of experience as a big design and technology geek and sometimes musician.
Marc earned a Bachelor’s in Theology at Walla Walla University and a Master’s in Theology and Culture at St. Stephen’s University. He is the author of several books, including The Wisdom of Your Heart and Journaling for Spiritual Growth. Marc serves as the teaching elder at Bridge City Community Church in Milwaukie, Oregon, a suburb of Portland, where he lives with his nearly-adult children, Emerson & Lucas, his partner, Christina, as well as an aging mutt, Jackson, and a vindictive once-feral cat named Bellatrix, who demands affection at knife-point twice a day.
