Publisher's Description
A Lived Theology of Everyday Life invites readers to discover how faith and theology intersect with the mundane and extraordinary aspects of daily living. Drawing from two decades of academic inquiry and personal reflection, Michael DeLashmutt explores how God's presence can be found in work, culture, relationships, and even the most unexpected corners of life. With a unique blend of theological insight, storytelling, and practical wisdom, this book challenges readers to see theology not as an abstract exercise but as a transformative practice deeply embedded in the rhythms of everyday existence. Whether through popular culture, institutional leadership, or the act of making art, DeLashmutt reveals a God who meets us where we are, calling us into deeper love and meaning in the ordinary.

“In the pages of A Lived Theology of Everyday Life you are truly invited to sojourn in faith with a trusted and wise companion. Michael DeLashmutt has taken on the challenging task of weaving his biography into a lived theology that is rendered in these pages as a gift to the reader. At times both deep and whimsical, DeLashmutt provides his life path as an expansive and ever-growing journey that continues to welcome new insights—and is always awakened to the wonder of God who appears ‘in unexpected places’—as he navigates various theological traditions and conversation partners, both ancient and contemporary.”
“Michael DeLashmutt has given us all a rare gift. Most practical theology books are texts that teach about practical theology or treatises on the theology of ministry practices. This book is written by a theologian and priest who believes and demonstrates that God speaks on the ‘practice’ of all of life. For anyone seeking to look at all of life through a God-formed lens this book serves as both docent and tutor—both showing and telling.”
