Richard Beck is a psychology professor at a conservative Churches of Christ college in Texas.
If someone had asked me, “Hey, would you like to read a blog written by a psychology professor at a conservative Churches of Christ college in Texas?” it’s unlikely that I would have said, “Of course, that sounds like it would be inspiring, thoughtful, and challenging, and will probably become one of my favorite blogs.” That shows what I know.
Beck’s blog is all of that — thoughtful, challenging and inspiring — but what really makes it stand out is that he takes Jesus very seriously. By that I mean simply this: He thinks you’re important and worth loving. And no matter what else he’s writing about, that comes across in every post.
