Bible Insights For Making Life Work

Life is beautiful.

But it’s also painful, exhausting, frustrating, boring (with occasional spurts of sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat excitement), followed by confusion, joy, heartache, and more beauty.

What makes it confusing is the sheer volume of noise: doctors, psychologists, scientists, authors, researchers, thought leaders, and influencers all offer advice, much of it contradictory.

Especially when it comes to faith.

But there’s good news: an ancient source of wisdom has stood the test of time. For over 2,000 years, more people have turned to this one book than any other — the Bible.

The Bible isn’t just a guide for how to make life work. It’s a living story of how God has been working in history — and how, through his Son Jesus, he wants to walk with you in yours.

About Me
Hi, I’m Brian Jones. I’m a Pastor and Author who’s been helping people like you understand the Bible for 36 years.

I’m the founding Pastor of Christ’s Church of the Valley in suburban Philadelphia, a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary, and the author of four books.

My mission is simple: to help you read the Bible with confidence, not just as a tool for life, but as a doorway into a relationship with Jesus. A way to walk in step with him, hear his voice clearly, and live out your part in his mission to change lives.

The most spiritually impactful years of your life could still be ahead. And I’d be honored to walk beside you as a trusted, Bible-teaching friend who points you back to Jesus every step of the way.

A Bit More About Me
I’ve been married to my incredible wife, Dr. Lisa Jones, for 36 years. Together we have three beautiful grown daughters, 13 chickens, and a snuggly red golden retriever named Meadow who loves hiking through the woods.

We live on the side of a mountain in the Unami Forest outside Philadelphia and are slowly adding animals to what we affectionately call “Meadow Brook Farm(ish)” — not quite a farm, yet.

Lisa and I love hiking and traveling, and we’re looking forward to becoming grandparents soon. On weekends, when we’re not hiking or serving our friends at church, you’ll find us cheering for Jesus’ favorite football teams—the Philadelphia Eagles and the Ohio State Buckeyes.
