Truth & Tone

Navigating the complexity of the church without giving up on it.

Pull up a chair and join us as we dive into conversations that matter, believing that truth and tone shape how we live out the gospel message.

Hi! We're Erik & Bekah Buchterkirchen

Here, we bring our love for theology and communication into everyday life by embracing the nuance within family, church, and culture. We talk honestly about how to live faithfully in a fractured world, and how we can communicate God’s truth in ways people can actually receive.

They deliver truth, especially when it comes to living a gospel reality, but the tone is laced with grace. This is a space to learn and grow in faith and community."
