What I’m Doing Now

Updated: 10-16-2025

Preaching & Teaching

I am currently preaching through the book of Genesis. It has been nearly 10 years since I preached through this book, and I am really enjoying it. The biblical theology in this book continues to amaze me each week.

I am working through Psalm 119 for our evening worship and prayer meeting.

Reading

There are a few books or authors in constant rotation, the faithful voices that I love to return to. Currently, I am slowly reading through The Christian Ministry, by Charles Bridges, and Sin and Temptation, by John Owen.

The reading stack also includes:

• Given for You: Reclaiming Calvin’s Doctrine of the Lord’s Supper, Keith Mathison
• On Reading Well, Karen Swallow Prior

On my nightstand:

• The Complete Grimms’ Fairy Tales
• The Poetry of Robert Frost

Family

The now “Wagner 8” is doing great. JW was married this summer, and it was nothing less than magical. KW is engaged to a wonderful young man, and we are in wedding planning mode. NW is now a licensed driver. FW is devouring books and dancing through life.

Annie and I continued to be amazed by all of God’s kindness to us. We are absolutely loving this season of life.

Hat tip to Derek Sivers for the idea of a “Now” page. I’m not on social media, so this serves as a small way to stay connected through occasional updates, like I would when catching up with an old friend.
