I am the founder and CEO of PILLAR, a private, Scripture-grounded AI for the questions Christians carry between Sundays, the ones that show up on a Tuesday with no one to ask. Before PILLAR I built a direct-to-consumer wine subscription business.

I wrote Pillars: How to Build Your Life on Rock because those questions deserve a better answer than whatever is closest at hand. I answer them in public on Ground That Holds, a podcast and a blog, written from Nashville.

PILLAR

The company

Christians are already asking AI their most important questions of faith. The first answer is the one they remember.

PILLAR is built for the moment before the conversation becomes public.

My brothers and sisters, whenever you face various trials, consider it all joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance complete its work, so that you may be complete and whole, lacking in nothing.

If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For the doubter, being double-minded and unstable in every way, must not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

James 1:2–8 · NRSVUE

Pillars

The book

How to Build Your Life on Rock.

I wrote it for my two children, and for anyone young enough to still be deciding what their life will stand on.

A father’s guide to the things that hold. Faith, truth, love, discipline, work, courage, family, and the foundation beneath all of it.

One page, one idea, made to be returned to. Every page earns its claim before it asks for belief.

  1. Values
  2. Principles
  3. Self-Government
  4. Love, Family, and Friendship
  5. Society and Civilization
  6. Work, Money, and Economics
  7. Technology, AI, and the Future
  8. Science, Reality, and Truth
  9. Faith, God, and the Soul
  10. A Father’s Letters

The manuscript is finished. Publication is coming.
