We’ve all heard the saying: “God always answers, even when the answer is no.” Sometimes, you’ll hear it in more digestible, encouraging words, like, “Rejection is protection,” a common motto among the “new age” community. For years, I heard it too, but it never really resonated. I didn’t truly understand it until I experienced oneContinueContinue reading “When God Says “No””

Solar Return 46: Threadbare Elegy
The profound nature of art and truth is that what’s meant to be about someone else often feels like it’s written just for us, holding a mirror to our own soul.

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.

But I couldn’t ignoreContinueContinue reading “Rejecting Foolishness in Faith: Why I Left the Church to Seek Wisdom”
