Paul and several friends founded GENERATE Magazine — an independent, volunteer-run print publication that attempts to embody the ethos — and tell the stories of — the growing, generative conversation happening in alternative communities who are seeking the Way of Jesus — missional, neomonastic, prophetic, postcolonial, arts-centric, social justice oriented, and emergent. Their hope is to create a physical artifact of this historical conversation transmitted through narrative, visual art, documented performances, verse, fiction, non-fiction, essays, and interviews in order to evoke deeper imagination and to awaken more and more people to the good news happening in the larger world and right in our neighborhoods.

Paul is also the creative genius behind the award-winning design for FaithVillage.com.
