There’s a specific kind of fog that settles in when people lose their spiritual grounding but still want to sound enlightened. It gets thicker in comment sections, especially under videos like the one I recently saw of Eckhart Tolle. In the video, he’s talking about the difference between channeling and communion. And while his toneContinueContinue reading “Authenticity Unveiled | A Continuing Discussion on Discernment: On Dependency, Communion, and Channeling”

What Caregiving Is Really Like (Series): The Truth No One Talks About
Caregiving is one of the hardest, most isolating experiences a person can go through—and yet, it’s often misunderstood, overlooked, or wrapped in a neat little bow for the sake of making it easier to talk about. This series is about breaking through that silence. It’s about telling the truth—the good, the bad, and the partsContinueContinue reading “What Caregiving Is Really Like (Series): The Truth No One Talks About”
Between the Lines: Why Our Messages about Faith Clash with Both the Church and New Age Spirituality
In the many years we, the voices behind the Twin Tree Project, have spent navigating faith, we’ve come to realize something that makes people uncomfortable no matter which side of the fence they’re on: Our beliefs don’t fit neatly into any box. The foundation of our belief system is, without question, Bible-based—but our personal, nuancedContinueContinue reading “Between the Lines: Why Our Messages about Faith Clash with Both the Church and New Age Spirituality”
Authenticity Unveiled | Beyond the Surface: The Truth About Your Spiritual Presence
In the 3D reality we inhabit, image is everything. From social media profiles to first impressions, people go to great lengths to curate how they are perceived. But while appearances can be manipulated, your energy—the essence of who you are—is something that cannot be faked. It is your spiritual face card, and in both the physical andContinueContinue reading “Authenticity Unveiled | Beyond the Surface: The Truth About Your Spiritual Presence”
Beyond the Divide: Uncovering the Shared Roots of Spiritual Gifts
A Childhood of Fear and a Search for Truth I grew up trembling—not at the thought of witches lurking in the shadows, but at the contradictions woven into the faith I was raised to defend. From the pulpit, I heard witchcraft condemned as one of the gravest sins, an abomination before God, backed by versesContinueContinue reading “Beyond the Divide: Uncovering the Shared Roots of Spiritual Gifts”
Letting Go of Begging: Trusting in God’s Provision
There is a deep, human longing within us all—to be chosen, to be loved, to be accepted. It’s natural. We were created for connection, for relationships, for the comfort of knowing that we belong somewhere, with someone. But too often, in our pursuit of that belonging, we make a crucial mistake: we fight for placesContinueContinue reading “Letting Go of Begging: Trusting in God’s Provision”
A Psychologist’s Perspective on Mental Illness, Avoidance, and the Path to Healing
The Post That Sparked This Discussion I’ve been seeing more and more posts like this one, and frankly, it’s exhausting. The comment sections are often filled with people (rightfully) holding the individuals accountable for their behavior, but what’s missing in these discussions is any consideration for what led them here or useful correspondence. Especially ifContinueContinue reading “A Psychologist’s Perspective on Mental Illness, Avoidance, and the Path to Healing”
Deconstructing the Chains of Tradition: Unlearning Religion to Experience God, Reclaim Spirituality, and Understand the Bible Beyond Doctrine
The Issue of Religious Deconstruction The topic—nay, the issue—of religious deconstruction is far from a new one. In fact, we’ve discussed it before here at the Twin Tree Project. Yet, as I’ve immersed myself in the spiritual and religious communities on X, hoping to engage, explore and grow with more people of like mind andContinueContinue reading “Deconstructing the Chains of Tradition: Unlearning Religion to Experience God, Reclaim Spirituality, and Understand the Bible Beyond Doctrine”
Walking in Integrity: Why You Were Called to Stand Out
I came across a post on X today that deeply resonated with me. It perfectly articulated something I’ve been reflecting on (and sharing with you, from other perspectives) a lot lately—how once we awaken, grow, or “level up,” we often feel like we no longer fit in. But the truth is, we aren’t meant toContinueContinue reading “Walking in Integrity: Why You Were Called to Stand Out”
Accountability & Motivation: The Internal vs. External Battle
Accountability is often seen as something external—rules, expectations, or authority figures keeping us in line. But real accountability, the kind that leads to lasting change, isn’t about fear of consequences or the need to meet someone else’s standards. It’s about self-responsibility. It’s about deciding, for yourself, that your choices matter, that your actions shape yourContinueContinue reading “Accountability & Motivation: The Internal vs. External Battle”
The Standard of Self-Respect: Why It Begins With You
Sometimes it’s not that someone is disrespecting you, but they are treating you in a way they wouldn’t treat someone they respect. (Jared Mello) Read that again. At first glance, this quote is about how people treat us—how they reveal their level of respect (or lack thereof) through their actions. But if we stop there,ContinueContinue reading “The Standard of Self-Respect: Why It Begins With You”
The Lost Art of Common Sense: Skills We Need to Reclaim
We started this series to break down the nonsensical, one-sided, imbalanced takes we see repeated over and over—ideas that make absolutely no sense yet somehow dominate mainstream conversations. These takes are almost always based on “what works for me” rather than “what works for the majority of people,” and that self-centered, shortsighted mindset is theContinueContinue reading “The Lost Art of Common Sense: Skills We Need to Reclaim”
When Holiness Feels Like a Burden: A Prophetic Warning & A Call to Endure
For the past several weeks, I’ve been receiving “extreme” messages—some in the form of scripture, some in the form of inner knowing, and some in the form of dreams that linger long after I wake up. I’ve had many of these dreams throughout my life—dreams so real that I can still feel them in myContinueContinue reading “When Holiness Feels Like a Burden: A Prophetic Warning & A Call to Endure”
Common Sense Series: The Epidemic of Heartlessness
There’s a viral video circulating of a woman afraid to cross a long bridge, and a cop stepping up to help her by leading her across with his vehicle. Seems like a wholesome, heartwarming moment, right? Wrong—at least according to the comment section. Instead of celebrating an act of compassion and true public service, peopleContinueContinue reading “Common Sense Series: The Epidemic of Heartlessness”
Equity vs. Equality: Navigating the Path to True Fairness
In this first topic post of our “Common Sense” series, we’ll delve deeper into the issue and misunderstanding of equity versus equality. The “woke,” liberal hive-mind mindset seems to completely misunderstand the reality of the ridiculousness of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives and how they often undermine the very concept they claim to champion—equality.ContinueContinue reading “Equity vs. Equality: Navigating the Path to True Fairness”
The Era of Common Sense: Truth, Emotional Intelligence, and Rejecting the Noise
The Twin Tree Project is dedicated to teaching and promoting truth—whether scientific, spiritual, or biblical. Just as Jesus was despised for challenging the status quo, those who strive to bring clarity to a chaotic world are often labeled as hateful, judgmental, or oppressive. Yet the Bible reminds us that speaking truth, sense, and reality willContinueContinue reading “The Era of Common Sense: Truth, Emotional Intelligence, and Rejecting the Noise”
