Erick Sierra's work explores the intersections of faith, justice, memory, and culture. A professor of English at Trinity Christian College just outside Chicago, he also directs the campus Writing Center, where he mentors student writers and nurtures language as a tool for human dignity—and is beloved by his students on campus. His writing has been featured in The Chronicle of Higher Education and public lectures at universities ranging from Pepperdine in California to Columbia in New York City.

 

Born in New York City and raised on subway rhythms and spiritual longing, Erick brings an urban sensibility to his intellectual and creative work. His essays often bridge theology and real life, blending scriptural imagination with cultural critique, personal storytelling, and literary analysis. His most recent work lives on Medium, where he writes regularly on themes like race, masculinity, doubt, embodiment, and the holy hiddenness of everyday life.

 

He lives just outside Chicago with his wife and children, and still finds joy in dancing New York–style salsa, training in martial arts, and cooking Puerto Rican food on weekends. You can catch a glimpse of his everyday rhythms in this Instagram video that captures a day in his life as a professor.
