Hello, and welcome to The Twin Tree Project! I am excited to launch this space—a sanctuary for reflection, creativity, and personal growth. This project is not just about me but also about you, the reader, as we explore together what it means to cultivate inspiration, embrace transformation, and find beauty in the path forward.
Surrender Is Not Powerlessness: What Your Brain and Your Bible Both Know About Anger
Being pissed off feels powerful. But psychologically and spiritually, it's a trap. Here's what your brain and your Bible both know about anger, resentment, and why surrender is the most powerful thing you can do.
Sunday Sessions | Palm Sunday: They Were Waving the Right Branches
They were right that a conqueror was coming. They were right that salvation was riding toward them. They just had no idea the enemy wasn't Rome, and the victory was six days away.
Authenticity Unveiled: AI Therapy Apps Are Gaslighting Women and This Needs to Stop
When Liven's Instagram ad told women that anxiety at 47 has "little to do with menopause" and is "all trauma from the past," I didn't just disagree. I recognized it for what it is: gaslighting dressed in wellness language, targeting women at their most vulnerable. This is my story, the science they're ignoring, and why AI therapy apps are a specific kind of harm.
Patterns, Cycles, and Ancient Warnings: Exploring the Work of Jonathan Cahn
There was a sycamore tree at the corner of Ground Zero. On September 11, 2001, it was struck by debris from the falling towers and destroyed. The stump was kept. You can look it up, see the photographs, and visit the location. It happened whether anyone was looking for it or not. That is one of nine documented harbingers Jonathan Cahn traces between a single verse from the eighth century BC and the events of that morning. This post is my full engagement with his work — because the material deserves more than a summary.
Why I Believe We Are Living in the End Times — and Why I’m Unbothered by Those Who Think I’ve Lost My Marbles
I’m aware of how this title lands. I’ve seen the eye-rolls, and honestly, I get it — the end times space has more than its share of sensationalism, date-setting, and people who seem to be enjoying the chaos a little too much. I’m not that. What I am is someone who has spent a lot of time looking carefully at Scripture, at history, and at current events — and who finds the convergence of all three genuinely difficult to dismiss. This is not a panic post. It’s a reference post. Take what’s useful, push back on what you disagree with, and at minimum, consider the possibility that the patterns are worth a serious look.
Dinosaurs are Fake… | Did You Know?
The Bible never uses the word “dinosaur” — and there’s a very good reason for that. It might not be what you think. Welcome to Did You Know? — a new series pulling back the curtain on the things that look like contradictions but are actually just gaps in translation, time, and context.
Authenticity Unveiled: Pick a Side (No, Really, That’s the Problem)
I left a comment online. A simple observation about cognitive dissonance. What came back wasn’t conversation — it was tribal defense, projected motives, and the near-total collapse of nuanced thinking. This is what that looks like, why it happens, and what it’s actually costing us.
What the Desert Kept: The Unbound Word | Passing the Scroll
These aren’t questions that destabilize Scripture. What they destabilize is a shallow relationship with Scripture. A faith that can’t survive honest examination probably needed, and still needs, to be examined.
Authenticity Unveiled: The “Professor” Problem: Tucker, Jiang, and the Art of Demoralization
“Professor” Jiang holds a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. No advanced degrees. No university professorship. The title is a brand — and borrowed authority, accepted without examination, is one of the oldest manipulation tools there is. Before you argue about what was said, you need to know who said it, and why that label was chosen.
Grace | Sunday Sessions
Dr. Frank Turek asked on X yesterday, “how would you describe grace to someone?” I couldn’t help but write I a long-winded reply to that post, because I learned loved grace the hard way, and I feel so humbled when I am reminded of the cost of it. Today’s Sunday Session is how I would describe grace.
