“Gracious words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body.”
The Bee Hive is a place where we reflect on Christianity, the Christian life, the church, and our culture with thoughtful and "gracious words" that are sweet "to the soul" and bring "health to the body" (Proverbs 16:24).
I'm John Beeson, your head beekeeper, and Co-Lead Pastor at New Life Bible Fellowship in Tucson, Arizona. My partner-in-crime is Angel who serves as the President and counselor at Whole Hope Christian Counseling.
We have a passion for helping people come to a deeper understanding of their true identity in Christ which we explore in Trading Faces: Removing the Masks that Hide Your God-Given Identity.
I grew up in Tucson, Arizona and received my undergraduate degree from Gordon College. After serving as a Detention Officer in Maricopa County, I received my MDiv from Princeton Theological Seminary. I pastored in Princeton for 8 years before returning to Arizona in 2015.
Angel also grew up in Tucson, Arizona and received her undergraduate degree from Northern Arizona University. She received her MA in Biblical Counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary. She founded Whole Hope Christian Counseling in 2016.
We have two young adults, Camille and Soren, who bring us constant laughter and joy.
