When Humility Wins: Lessons From a Conversation About God

God is Bigger Than the Bible

One of the most common responses to my posts about spirituality is the claim that it’s “new age nonsense.” It’s as if some people fail to see God and the very things He expressly teaches us simply because they don’t come with a chapter and verse attached. At the same time, many believe they’re walkingContinue reading "God is Bigger Than the Bible"

Egoic Hatred and the Projection of Shame: A Closer Look

In the process of sharing ideas that challenge people’s deeply held beliefs, I’ve encountered an interesting phenomenon: egoic hatred. Some of the feedback I’ve received has accused me of spreading “lies” and suggested that my perspectives were born out of the “shame of my own sin.” While the initial instinct might be to laugh thisContinue reading "Egoic Hatred and the Projection of Shame: A Closer Look"

Learn from the Enlightenment My Pain Caused Me (Or How Pain Is the Enlightenment)

I wrote this post a year ago, but the words necessary to appropriately convey it took a lot longer to set in. I used to struggle with anxiety, especially around the holidays.

Something terribleContinue reading "Learn from the Enlightenment My Pain Caused Me (Or How Pain Is the Enlightenment)"

What happens when the foundation of your belief system collapses? When the narrative you’ve trusted—about politics, society, or even your place in the world—crumbles, leaving you disoriented and desperate for answers? For many people, this kind of reckoning feels less like an awakening and more like trauma. It’s the kind of trauma that fractures theContinue reading "The Fracture of Belief: How Suppressed Discernment and Political Disillusionment Break the Human Mind"

Sunday Sessions: The Quiet Journey of Spiritual Maturity and the Challenge of Resistance

Have you ever encountered someone so convinced of their own “wisdom” that they dismissed anything outside their understanding as foolish or wrong? Someone who, rather than engaging thoughtfully or with curiosity, sought instead to control the narrative—to shut down dialogue and assert themselves as “right”? It can be unsettling, even frustrating, to come across suchContinue reading "Sunday Sessions: The Quiet Journey of Spiritual Maturity and the Challenge of Resistance"
