He is the author of several works on Christian spirituality and theology, including Reconstructing Prayer, Washed in the Spirit, and Boundless Love. His poetry collections—A Funeral in the Wild, Time in Shenandoah, and A Weathered Ship—explore themes of land, family, memory, fracture, and longing. His poems have appeared in a growing number of literary journals, including Ink, Sweat & Tears, Black Bough Poetry, tiny wren lit, among many others. Across genres, his writing pursues a language spacious enough to hold both mystery and clarity, devotion and doubt. 

Andrew serves as Lead Pastor at Church on the Hill in Fishersville, Virginia. He is a St. Basil Fellow with the Center for Pastor Theologians and teaches theology as an adjunct professor at Bethel Seminary, Portland Seminary, and Life Pacific University. He lives in the mountains of the Shenandoah Valley with his wife and children, where he writes in the quiet hours, preaches, teaches, hikes, and drinks a lot of coffee.
