Hi, I’m Bob Wilson.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

I’m a pastor, writer, community-builder, and improviser in Dublin.

I create safe spaces where people — religious, spiritual, sceptical, or unsure — can ask questions, express doubts, and explore faith.

I lead The Table, a small community of faith in Dublin.

If you are in Dublin, I’d love to get together for a coffee or a pint.

this is me

I tend to obsess and nerd out about a lot of stuff: board games, the Red Sox, the church, leadership, improvisation, and Apple devices, in no specific order.

What About Bob?

I moved to Dublin in 2012 after planting and pastoring the Ithaca Vineyard Church and serving as a Chaplain at Cornell University. In Dublin, I have a few things going on:

I work for a charity called Jobcare, which helps unemployed people find work. I manage the IT Support team and the Content Creation team.
I am part of the Dublin Improv Community. I performed in the 2025 Ireland Improv Fest as part of an international mixer team, and in 2026, I will be performing as part of an ensemble team. I am excited to be part of a new team just starting up!

But what I love most is helping people become mature disciples of Jesus the Messiah. Part of that involves creating safe spaces for people to ask questions, express doubt and talk about faith. Part of that involves addressing unhealthy ways of thinking about the church as well as some of its current leadership models and practices.

I write about these topics a lot. You can find some of it below.

With TJ Jagodowski at an Improv workshop.

I have a lot of Thoughts. Sometimes i write them down.

My main writing is on my Substack, A Journey in Liminal Space.

What I Have Been Thinking About Lately

Thinking About Gathering Online

A short reflection on the online church and what it means to gather

I am so loving this book!

Formed by Corinthians More than Romans

This is the first in a series of posts looking at the influence 1 & 2 Corinthians have had on my formation as a Jesus follower. Over the past few months, I have been reading through the New Testament as part of my daily Bible reading. Recently, I found myself in 1 and 2 Corinthians,…

Finding Our Identity in the Messiah

When we moved to Ireland from the States I went from being a pastor & leader to “just another American in Dublin.” It was overwhelming to recognize how much of my identity was based on external things. They weren’t bad, but they weren’t Jesus.

Upcoming Improv Performances

Just secured a date for a performance at Improv Playground’s After Hours. I will be performing with a new group, Name Redacted, on June 27th at 7:00 pm. This will be a mini reunion as 3 of us were formerly part of TeaQuake. We’ll post the link for tickets when they are available.

I Write About the Church, Faith, and Leadership Over on Substack

I have been blogging since 2008. Currently, most of what I write is hosted on Substack at “A Journey in Liminal Space.”

I also wrote my dissertation on the topic of polycentric leadership. If you are interested, you can find that here.
