About Jeff McLain

I’m Jeff McLain, a pastor, writer, and Doctor of Ministry student at Kairos University, based in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. I explore the Lord’s Prayer as both a theological foundation and a practical guide for spiritual formation and communal discipleship in the church today. I am learning to pray unhurried prayers—anchored in simplicity, shaped by Scripture, and rooted in the way of Jesus.

Lead A Quiet Life Blog

The Lead a Quiet Life blog on Patheos explores what it means to lead a quieter life at a slower pace, discovering a simple life and faith that embraces downward mobility in a chaotic world and a church often obsessed with excess. Inspired by 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12, I share my reflections as a pastor and writer on spiritual formation, spiritual disciplines, simple living, and missional investments—inviting those who feel disillusioned, but still hopeful, to rediscover a quieter, deeper way of following Jesus.
