There’s a strange thing that happens when you truly wake up—not performatively, not for appearances, and certainly not to win religious approval. I mean spiritually, from the soul outward. When your eyes open to truth and your ears finally hear what the Spirit’s been whispering all along, something shifts so completely that it changes howContinue reading "Clarity ≠ Bitterness: A reflection on spiritual boundaries, peace, and divine wisdom."
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,Continue reading "Embers of Stardust: What Really Matters (An Introspection)"
Sunday Sessions: What Nature Still Knows (And What We’ve Forgotten)
A short video clip inspired this post. It was simple at first glance, but the symbolism hit me hard. A small bird sits alone in her nest, as an intruder—another male—enters and tries to impose himself on her. She doesn’t attack. She doesn’t flap in fear. She calls. Simply, clearly, she calls. And in aContinue reading "Sunday Sessions: What Nature Still Knows (And What We’ve Forgotten)"
Labeled by Design: Why Today’s Youth Are Angry—and Why It’s Not Their Fault
It is almost infuriating to hear people complain about and be angry with the youth of our nation—and the world—today. This has weighed on my heart for quite some time, and I believe it’s time to change the script. Before you get defensive and begin to respond that the youth are sorry, lazy, greedy, andContinue reading "Labeled by Design: Why Today’s Youth Are Angry—and Why It’s Not Their Fault"
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 IContinue reading "No More Cages: On Breaking Free from Religion, Rules, and Robotic Living"
Returning to True Oneness: Rebuilding Spirituality from the Ground Up
In my last post, I talked about how spirituality as a whole is undergoing a massive transformation — a death and rebirth — as the old structures of religion collapse under their own weight. As that crumbling accelerates, many people are waking up to the need for something deeper, something real. But rebuilding true spiritualContinue reading "Returning to True Oneness: Rebuilding Spirituality from the Ground Up"
Resurrection, Reframing, and Rebuilding: From Bondage to Breath | A Supportive Message to the Ones Who’ve Outgrown ANY Religion
Last night I shared a message that I felt I was being guided to share with you—support for those who have chosen to leave the Church, specifically for those who might be struggling with the hindsight of that choice after being hit with the deep clarity that comes once you’ve fully removed yourself from theContinue reading "Resurrection, Reframing, and Rebuilding: From Bondage to Breath | A Supportive Message to the Ones Who’ve Outgrown ANY Religion"
A Supportive Message to the Ones Rebuilding Faith Outside the Walls
A message to the ones who stayed longer than they could explain— The messages in this post are often ones we see geared toward those struggling after breakups with partners or strife in their families. While these messages may absolutely fit those situations, this post is not about personal relationships. This post is about systems.Continue reading "A Supportive Message to the Ones Rebuilding Faith Outside the Walls"
The Two Graves: When Grace Is Misjudged as Weakness
“Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” I came across this quote recently in response to the tragic death of Austin Metcalf—and the quiet, grace-filled response of his father, Justin Metcalf. In the face of unimaginable loss, this man has become the target of criticism—not for what he’s done, but forContinue reading "The Two Graves: When Grace Is Misjudged as Weakness"
The D-Word: Dodging or Discernment?
As long time readers have already noticed, for the past couple of weeks I haven’t posted much. I’m aware—even I have noticed my own silence in almost uncomfortable ways, and felt that familiar tug: “Shouldn’t I be posting something? Shouldn’t I be showing up more?” But as I shared in my last blog post (andContinue reading "The D-Word: Dodging or Discernment?"
