A few years ago, I began to notice something unsettling. It started quietly—subtle personality shifts in spiritual communities, vague contradictions in activist spaces, increasingly defensive energy cloaked in talk of “healing” and “boundaries.” But now, it’s impossible to miss. Before we explore that idea, though, you’ll notice that the posting schedule here has gone fromContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: The Rise and Rot of the “Wounded but Wise” Archetype (A Spiritual Crisis of Accountability)”

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”
From Rage to Refuge: The Power of Voice and Silence
This morning, I was ready to chuck my laptop out the window. Seriously—technical difficulties had me so worked up I could’ve screamed, except I was too busy wrestling with a platform that wouldn’t cooperate. I’m still shaking my head as I write this. (Side note: if you’re signed up for inbox updates, I’m so sorryContinueContinue reading “From Rage to Refuge: The Power of Voice and Silence”
Beyond the Surface: The Truth About Your Spiritual Presence | “Authenticity Unveiled” Series
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 “Beyond the Surface: The Truth About Your Spiritual Presence | “Authenticity Unveiled” Series”
The Weight of an Apology: Why Words Alone Aren’t Enough
Can an Apology Fix What is Broken? This is a question that many of us have asked ourselves at some point in our lives—whether in relationships, friendships, family conflicts, or professional settings. Can an apology alone truly fix what has been broken? The short answer is no. An apology in itself is not a magicalContinueContinue reading “The Weight of an Apology: Why Words Alone Aren’t Enough”
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”
