Welcome!


I’m Mark and I’m a Bruised Camel.

You may not see yourself as either rich, young, or a ruler. But I’m guessing that, like me, you’re pretty comfortable in terms of resources, relationships, and skills. And truth be told, that’s led to numerous self-inflicted bruises as I strive to follow Jesus.

Bruised Camels are Jesus Followers trying to faithfully use their capital and their career to make a difference and earn a living.

Designed to be read in 5-10 minutes, each edition provides resources for the daily challenges Bruised Camels face. Topics include:

Your Capital

Investing – Resources for investing faithfully regardless of how much you make
Giving – Guidance on charitable giving that’s empowering and wise
Spending – Ideas and ways to spend your money

Your Career

We talk big picture strategies and tactical tips for following Jesus as a business professional in today’s crazy marketplace.

With inspiration from a mentor, Bruised Camels grew out of my love for Jesus and business & investing. I hope it’s helpful for you. If you have thoughts or suggestions, shoot me a note on the contact page. I’m eager to get feedback and make improvements.

Journey On!
