Rev. Dr. Matt Meinke | Presbyterian minister @MaumeeVP | progressive | advocate for justice | Morning Reflections guy | Democrat | adjunct professor | leadership consultant | OU Thunder Packer fan | blogger | foodie | scuba diver| causing trouble since the 70s

What started in 2005 as a daily devotional based on Scripture, “Morning Reflections” has transformed into a bullhorn for change speaking challenging words to the church of tomorrow, a platform for ongoing conversations, and a testament to God at work in our communities and para-church organizations.

It is hard to believe, but I have been writing Morning Reflections for over 15 years now.  As always Morning Reflections and this blog are my own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of my church, my presbytery, or my denomination, although I am a good Presbyterian and the argument could be made!  All content is copyrighted.

I am currently the regional minister for the PCUSA in NW Ohio, otherwise known as the General Presbyter in Maumee Valley Presbytery, which covers NW Ohio and SE Michigan.
