“Faith” is Hurting Us
March 8, 2017
“Just have faith” is an empty platitude. How do we seek truth and “have faith” at once? … More “Faith” is Hurting Us
Returning (My last post on my original blog)
June 11, 2015
It’s a funny feeling that comes when you return to somewhere that used to be your home after years of being away. The colors look different. The buildings look similar, but more faded. The People feel…slower…somehow– like you sped up and they just kept the same speed. You feel that sense of nostalgia, but nostalgia … More Returning (My last post on my original blog)
How a Suicide Attempt Saved My Faith
November 14, 2013
“I might as well f*cking do it. I’ve been thinking about it every day, and I think today is the day I’m finally going to.” I could tell she was serious, and part of me was scared. The tension was thick that day in Taco Bell. Yes, you read that right. I said Taco Bell. … More How a Suicide Attempt Saved My Faith
Truth, Freedom and Love
June 23, 2013
Freedom is not being double minded in your thoughts or your actions. Its doing what you want to do and choosing it wholeheartedly. True, we have the right to do things halfheartedly, but that’s not freedom. Lately I’ve been hanging out with a lot of heathens, atheists, and sinners…at least that’s what half my Christian … More Truth, Freedom and Love
Funny Faith
June 12, 2013

When we put our trust in something that we have no evidence is real, or that we hope is real because it brings us comfort to believe it is real, we can cause real destruction to ourselves and to others. Often, … More Funny Faith
I Do Not Believe in Jesus Christ
October 23, 2012
I find the fact that most Christians believe in Jesus to be incredibly unsettling. There is an assumption today that belief in Christ is a good thing. It says something about you. Many even think it makes you a Christian. They say things like “I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins” or “I … More I Do Not Believe in Jesus Christ

Give Me A Reason To Live
July 5, 2012
I’m discovering a whole new dimension of what it means to be human. It’s called “the search for meaning.” A lot of people think they are searching for meaning, but they really haven’t become enough of a person to know how to do it. They are still stuck trying to “do” instead of “be,” which inhibits them … More Give Me A Reason To Live
Coming Out of the Christian Closet
April 21, 2012
I’m an English Major. Specifically a Creative Writing Concentration English Major. One of the biggest things I love about being an English Major is the community that I’m surrounded with as a result. In my experience, English majors are honest. They’re not narrow minded, and they’re not afraid to live outside the box. Today, I got … More Coming Out of the Christian Closet
