About

I’m A. Z. Adams — Asi, to most who know me. I’m a minister, author, and teacher, and I live with my wife Rebekah and our six children on fifty acres in central Texas, together with a flock of sheep, a noisy congregation of chickens, and whatever animals the children have most recently talked us into.

My writing and teaching come from that life. They are not about farming, exactly, and not only about theology — they are about the place where the two meet: the table where we break bread with neighbors, the paddock where a boy trains a wild mustang, the ordinary evenings where faith either becomes a culture or remains a theory. I write and teach for anyone trying to build something durable — a family, a household, a community of faith — in an age that builds almost nothing to last.

The Letters

New essays — letters from the farm, reflections on Scripture and the life of the church, and stories of faithful men and women who came before us — are published on Substack and delivered free by email. Read and subscribe here.

The Upward Way

Every morning I host The Upward Way, a daily Bible reading podcast — available on Apple Podcasts and wherever you listen. The Bible study is also on YouTube at Heritage Press.

Teaching

This site houses my sermons, lectures, and foundational Bible studies — doctrine, discipleship, and leadership training for the building of the church. Explore the teaching.
