Leaves but No Fruit: When Jesus Calls Out Spiritual Show for What It Is | Daily Bread

In Mark 11, Jesus hungers, spots a leafy fig tree promising fruit, finds it barren, and curses it. It withers from the roots.

This story offers us a prophetic sign: outward religion without inward transformation withers. His call isn’t performance, it’s abiding in the Vine.

Jesus doesn’t just expose fruitless leaves. He invites us back to the Vine. Judgment on pretense is mercy in disguise: it clears space for real growth. Slow, often painful, but alive.

“Abide… let the Spirit prune.”

Where do you need renewal today?

Sunday Sessions | Finding God Under All the Religious Stuff

There is something nobody tells you about deconstruction: sometimes you tear down everything you thought you believed, only to find the thing you were actually looking for was buried underneath all along. This statement will be old news for many. For many, still, it will feel familiar, and as they read on I suspect theyContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions | Finding God Under All the Religious Stuff”

Dear Christians | It’s Not About A Building.

It is not about what you do in a building. It is holiness in secret, not performance in public. It’s about who you are when no one is watching.

Simplifying “The Alarms of Prophecy: Elam in the Headlines” | By Request

This post explores the recent strikes against Iran on February 28, 2026, through a biblical lens, highlighting parallels with Purim and the Book of Esther. It examines the fall of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the context of divine sovereignty, drawing connections to historical figures like Haman, Pharaoh, and Nebuchadnezzar. The post emphasizes patterns of God’s justice, divine reversal, and the enduring relevance of Scripture in understanding current events.

Authenticity Unveiled | The Moral and Psychological Breakdown in Radical Left Ideology

I continue to notice an alarming contradiction playing out over and over again. In this post, I attempt to examine that contradiction, and peel apart its layers.

This Is What Bold, Unashamed Faith Looks Like

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”

Authenticity Unveiled | Discernment in the Age of Spectacle

We live in a world obsessed with spectacle. Screens glow, voices shout, headlines scream for our attention. What matters is not whether something is true, but whether it can be seen, shared, and consumed. The result is an endless flood of noise where visibility masquerades as value, and entertainment poses as wisdom. But Christ neverContinueContinue reading “Authenticity Unveiled | Discernment in the Age of Spectacle”

Authenticity Unveiled | Truth and Illusion

The truth does not flatter.It frees. In our world and reality today, people often hate, fear, and avoid truth. Why? Because truth does not coddle us. It calls us out of darkness and into light. It strips away illusions until we are face to face with the reality of who we are and who GodContinueContinue reading “Authenticity Unveiled | Truth and Illusion”

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”

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 theContinueContinue reading “Resurrection, Reframing, and Rebuilding: From Bondage to Breath | A Supportive Message to the Ones Who’ve Outgrown ANY Religion”

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.

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 forContinueContinue reading “The Two Graves: When Grace Is Misjudged as Weakness”

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”

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”

Neither Do I Condemn Thee: A Christian’s Response to Division and Vitriol

Over the weekend leading up to Inauguration Day, and especially this morning, I’ve observed a troubling surge of absolutely disgusting vitriol, condemnation, and divisiveness from both sides of the political and social spectrum. Since the inception of this blog, I have tried to remain as neutral and solution-focused as possible, sharing love and the experienceContinueContinue reading “Neither Do I Condemn Thee: A Christian’s Response to Division and Vitriol”
