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”

The Retardation of Reason
For months, I’ve been struggling with diagnostic fatigue when it comes to this blog. I realized long ago that I speak from upstream of a culture that has deliberately moved downstream and dammed itself there. Only recently did it fully land that this does not render the work pointless. It simply means the audience wasContinueContinue reading “The Retardation of Reason”
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”
The Line Is Always Open
A while ago, God asked me to step away from the noise. The purpose was not just to “rest,” but to enter true solitude. It wasn’t the kind of solitude… The Line Is Always Open It’s been a while since I’ve written here. In that time, I’ve walked through a season of deliberate quiet —ContinueContinue reading “The Line Is Always Open”
As Above, So Below: The Biblical Mirrors of the Hermetic Principles
What Jesus Actually Said vs. What People Think Is ‘Sinful’ “Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.” — Matthew 6:10 This line, straight from The Lord’s Prayer—the one Jesus Himself offered as a model for how to pray—is the biblical heartbeat of the ancient Hermetic axiom: “As above, so below.” IContinueContinue reading “As Above, So Below: The Biblical Mirrors of the Hermetic Principles”
The Shape of Escape: A Testimony of Climbing Out of What Almost Kept Me
There’s a term from developmental biology that stuck with me the first time I heard it: chreode. It describes a kind of groove—a well-worn path of least resistance that cells tend to follow during development. Once they start down that track, the path becomes harder to exit. It shapes them. Defines them. Holds them inContinueContinue reading “The Shape of Escape: A Testimony of Climbing Out of What Almost Kept Me”
The Cost of Awareness: The Performance of Humanity and the Weight of Feeling Too Much
Earlier today, I came across yet another post online where someone was asking, “Why are so many people laughing during this?” The context was tragic—something serious had happened, and yet, the reactions captured on video were bizarrely out of sync with the gravity of the moment. People were laughing. Filming. Spectating like it was aContinueContinue reading “The Cost of Awareness: The Performance of Humanity and the Weight of Feeling Too Much”
Clarity ≠ Bitterness: A reflection on spiritual boundaries, peace, and divine wisdom.
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 howContinueContinue 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,ContinueContinue 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 aContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: What Nature Still Knows (And What We’ve Forgotten)”
