I’ve always found the parts of the Bible discussing a love of money to not relate to me. And with all my soul I wish I could care about money less, I think most of us do. But the Bible consistently comes back to the idea that loving money is wrong, it’s the root of…

Thoughts after writing this: This one got out of hand. But if you’re wondering what I honestly think and how the flow of thought travels in my mind, I hope you enjoy. I enjoyed writing it. I’m proud of my last post with its deep references to Taylor Swift and the subtweet nature of it…

I finally and honestly stumbled, Into that apartment of someone new. The long days of Summer left me humbled. And as keen reminder, got Deja Vu. Moments in time to screw up forever, I was there when it ended with always. It took depth, my sigh, to not be clever. Aware of…

My role in the firing of Micahn Carter at Church of the Highlands (COTH), at the time the largest US church, located in Birmingham, Alabama, was that of direct communication with Church Attenders and Pastors. Originally, after he was fired I feared the resources and friends Micahn Carter had. I had already been threatened by…

@NakedPastor (He’s not actually naked, don’t worry) Recently said “When one person decides they’re done with the church, and all its pressures and expectations and demands, the others have to adjust. And it’s rarely easy.” And that struck me. Because, even as I would label myself as someone who deconstructed and is an “exvangelical”, I…
