Your guide to connecting history and faith with your personal walk with God!
What if your faith wasn’t just something you believed—but something you inherited?
Common Ground is written with small group or individual studies in mind. It is a one-of-a-kind journey through history, Scripture, and personal ancestry designed especially for middle school readers—but rich enough for parents, pastors, and teachers to explore alongside them. From Roman roads to American fields, from Celtic saints to the early Church, this book traces the true story of Christianity as it unfolded through real people, real places, and one real family’s lineage.
Written in engaging, accessible language, Common Ground helps students connect the dots between the past and their present walk with Christ. Each chapter features four key parts—Historical Perspective, Bible Perspective, Family Connection, and Faith in Action—to support both personal reflection and classroom or small group discussion. Whether you're a teacher looking to bring church history alive, a parent wanting to pass on the faith, or a young reader eager to understand where you came from and where you’re going, this book is a map and a compass.
Walk the path of saints, martyrs, farmers, warriors, and missionaries—and discover how your place in God’s story began long before you were born.
What if your family’s story wasn’t just a record of names and dates—but a sacred path paved with faith, sacrifice, and grace?
Sacred Ground: An Owen Root in God’s Garden is an in depth personal archeological and genealogical exploration of faith over time with the Owen Family. It traces the spiritual journey of one family through centuries of history, hardship, and hope. From Celtic saints and quiet martyrs to farmers, soldiers, and seekers of truth, this book uncovers the ways in which the Owen family has been grafted into God’s divine story—generation after generation.
Blending historical research, biblical reflection, and personal testimony, this deeply rooted narrative invites descendants of the Owen lineage—and all who walk the path of faith—to reflect on where they’ve come from, and where God may be leading next.
Whether you are a son or daughter of the Owen name, or simply a fellow traveler longing to understand your own inheritance of belief, you’ll find in these pages a legacy worth passing on.

What if vocation could be measured not by performance metrics, but by the presence of spiritual fruit?
Fertile Ground: Rooted Work in an Unrooted Age emerges from Dr. Jason T. Owen’s original doctoral dissertation, Biblical Technology, where he pioneered a method for quantifiably measuring the fruits of the Spirit in order to ethically integrate them into machine learning systems. Bridging Scripture, theology, and data science, this work explores how love, joy, peace, patience, and other fruits (Galatians 5:22–23) can act as reliable indicators of vocational alignment—revealing not just where someone is skilled or qualified, but where they are truly called.
From this research, Dr. Owen developed Racer One, a groundbreaking AI-powered tool for Agile team formation. Unlike conventional algorithms that optimize for hard skills or résumé keywords, Racer One leverages a Spirit-led model to help organizations identify roles in which individuals flourish emotionally, relationally, and spiritually—not just functionally.
In Fertile Ground, Dr. Owen combines theological depth with technical innovation, offering a fresh framework for discipleship in the workplace. This book invites readers—leaders, educators, developers, and disciples alike—to rediscover vocation as sacred, measurable, and mission-driven. It offers practical tools, vocational checklists, and a redefinition of success rooted in spiritual fruitfulness rather than output.
For anyone seeking to align faith and work in the age of AI, Fertile Ground is both a manifesto and a manual—calling the Church to plant its roots deep in Spirit-led purpose and to build teams, systems, and lives that bear lasting fruit.
What if your career isn’t just about what you do—but who you’re called to become?
In Called, Not Hired, Dr. Jason T. Owen blends personal testimony, Catholic theology, spiritual gifts research, and cutting-edge work in artificial intelligence to deliver a timely, Spirit-led invitation: to stop chasing careers and start walking in your divine calling.
From his days as a martial arts master and U.S. Army veteran to becoming a computer science professor and futurist researcher, Jason’s journey will inspire anyone feeling stuck, burned out, or spiritually misaligned in their work. Through practical wisdom, biblical grounding, and a visionary look at AI and human purpose, this book helps readers realign their gifts, embrace Spirit-led systems, and thrive in their faith—no matter their field.
Whether you're a teacher, coder, leader, or spiritual seeker, this book will help you discover that you weren’t just hired for a job—
Living a life that uses Spiritual gifts on the job and in ministries produces, love, joy, peace, and purpose.
Finding those Spiritual gifts is where the problem lies. Traditional gift tests fail 62% of the time at identifying true Spiritual gifts. In this book Dr. Owen researches how to optimally discover Spiritual gifts and deploy that logic into Decision Support Software for Human Resource professionals to be able to leverage Spiritual gifts of employees on their teams.
