1256 Movement Mission
The 1256 Mission is to impact 1,256 low to medium income families in North Tulsa in ten years by building affordable, quality homes black people can own, using equity to fund education, businesses, and build hope.
1256 Movement Vision
We believe businesses, builders in particular, can do justice and make lasting change through building homes and home ownership in North Tulsa. The 1256 Movement was born out of a faith in God that leads us to love, be merciful, humble ourselves, and do justice work in our community. Hope-filled outcomes of increased home ownership by black families will be exponential in the next decade. Families can build on home equity to educate their children, build businesses, leading to prosperity and flourishing.

I am a home builder in Northeastern Oklahoma and president of 1256Movement.org. Proceeds from my latest book published in 2023, Prodigals, benefit this nonprofit dedicated to reparations of racial trauma in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taylor is author of several books, including a coauthored work with Randy Harris titled Living Jesus. He and his wife, Jill, have three adult children, Ashley, Anna, and Jacob, for whom Prodigals is dedicated.
I’ve been a writer for 30 years, a professional writer and editor for most of those years. No matter what other jobs I’ve done, I’ve continued to write. I’m the author, co-author, editor, or ghostwriter of many books you can see here.
You’ll find a lot of topics I’ve written about listed and I've tried to categorize them so there should be bread crumbs for you to follow your interests. I’m 2024, I’ll celebrate 20 years of blogging. You can also find lots of free articles I’ve published in various magazines if you search my name at Christianity Today, Sojourners, and Wineskins. I wrote many book reviews for Publishers Weekly some years back but most of the reviews are not named reviews for sake of objectivity.
