About

I am Caleb Paul Ripple. I am the son of Jeff and Andrea and oldest of three siblings which include my sister Victoria and brother Spencer. I am a Christian. For you who appreciate more particulars, I’m of the post-millennial and calvinistic persuasion (meaning simply as per Doug Wilson, who I thoroughly enjoy, I believe “God is God, all the way up, all the way down, and all the way across”). I baptize babies and welcome them to their Jesus and His table. Of course, if you don’t appreciate my specificity please just stick with “I am a Christian.” I follow Jesus. I love Him and I love His Word.

I am a husband. I have been married since June 2007 to a most wonderful wife, Erin (EJ). Besides our children who have already finished their short race and won the prize, we have eight children yet alive, Ephraim Alexander, Noah Elliot, Gideon Paul, our twins Luke John Owen and Ezra John Calvin (who eagerly look forward to meeting a brother or sister in Heaven that actually made them triplets), Evangeline Joanne, Josiah Anthony, and Esther-Jubilee Martha.

I am an elder at Christ Fellowship Church (CREC) in Taylor, Texas and a board member and teacher at Koinonia Classical Christian School which I helped to establish. In my spare time I enjoying getting my hands dirty for Brothers’ Ripple, my brother’s handyman company.

This is theology as it pertains to real, grimy hands-and-toes-in-the-mud life. The kind of life that exists far beyond black and white pages in the colorful world that God made. Where flowers and food and trees are born from mud and people grow inside of women. This is a happy, terrifying and scandalous world. So open your eyes, read some of my stuff if you’d like but probably you should just get off the internet and go do something.

Any way you decide to go from here at the bottom of my “about” section, I wish you well on your journey. May it be fecund and may you reach the city at the end of the road.
