This is a transcript of a message by Bryce Crawford, only 22 years old, mixed with my own commentary. Bryce is known for his street evangelism on YouTube, but here he is standing on a massive stage, saying the kinds of things most churches are afraid to say. No fluff. No performance. No crowd-pleasing Christianity.ContinueContinue reading “This Is What Bold, Unashamed Faith Looks Like”

From Roots to Renewal | Where We Grow From Here
Silence isn’t absence. It’s work being done. Deep work. The kind that doesn’t always announce itself but shows up later as fruit. I have been mostly quiet in terms of writing and sharing here at Twin Tree throughout 2025. I’ve shared about some situational things here and there, mostly to help keep focus on theContinueContinue reading “From Roots to Renewal | Where We Grow From Here”
Embers of Stardust: What Really Matters (An Introspection)
I learned something new today—something that solidified, almost with a gentle click, everything I’ve been cementing inside myself lately. I learned not just a fact or piece of trivia, but a quiet revelation that clarified what I already knew at a soul level: the rarest things in life are not always the most monetarily expensive,ContinueContinue reading “Embers of Stardust: What Really Matters (An Introspection)”
No More Cages: On Breaking Free from Religion, Rules, and Robotic Living
I woke up irritated this morning—nothing major, just that low thrum of agitation humming beneath the surface. Then I saw an Alan Watts quote about walking alone being a choice, not a curse, and something clicked. Sharp. Unfiltered. I realized that religion and I were bound only by a mutual illusion: the idea that IContinueContinue reading “No More Cages: On Breaking Free from Religion, Rules, and Robotic Living”
When the Yoke Breaks
In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat. (Isaiah 10:27) There’s a moment in every true spiritual journey when you realize that the burden didn’t disappear — you outgrew it. We talk a lot about GodContinueContinue reading “When the Yoke Breaks”
She Raised Me Right—And I Wish I Had Treated Her Better
I wrote what follows in this post years ago, but coming across it again now—at this exact moment—feels almost divinely timed. After years of struggle, of uncertainty, of feeling like I had to beg certain people to just let me exist as I am, life is finally settling into itself in a tangible way. ForContinueContinue reading “She Raised Me Right—And I Wish I Had Treated Her Better”
The Observer at the Center: A Journey Through Cosmos and Connection
There’s a profound resonance in the idea that the “infinite universe” has no center, yet the “observable universe” pivots around the observer—you, me, each of us standing as a singular point of perception in an endless expanse. This rings true, even in a Biblical sense, if you delve deeply enough to weave it into notContinueContinue reading “The Observer at the Center: A Journey Through Cosmos and Connection”
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”
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”
