“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
Hope Rising

Yesterday I had a conversation with a demonized man. He was a homeless man in downtown San Francisco, and his name was Chucky. I liked Chucky. Chucky had a large beard with bits of food stuck inside it like flies trapped in a cobweb. He had weathered skin, a raspy voice, and large safety pins … More Hope Rising
Funny Faith
June 12, 2013
Faith is about trust, but how can you trust something you’re not sure exists? 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
Conversations on Redemption
February 7, 2013
Question: To what degree do we contribute to our own redemption? Now don’t get your panties all in a bunch. I’m not talking about “salvation” per se. That’s by grace through faith and all that jazz. Got that. I’m talking about transformation. Looking like Christ. I’ve been looking at narratives lately; life narratives. We all … More Conversations on Redemption
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
No really, it’s going to be ok
October 17, 2012
There are few things as powerful as when rest finally, truly, really hits you. I was driving home in the car today after seeing Looper, a movie that (despite a bit of nudity, which may be offensive to some of you) I highly recommend. The movie was incredible, and the symbols powerful. It’s one of … More No really, it’s going to be ok
