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 IContinueContinue 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 spiritualContinueContinue 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 theContinueContinue 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.ContinueContinue 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 forContinueContinue 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 (andContinueContinue reading “The D-Word: Dodging or Discernment?”
Sunday Sessions: The Ache That Was Never Depression
I actually wrote this last week—but didn’t post it. I am posting it now, late, because God wouldn’t let me keep it buried. I didn’t post it because I was afraid. Genuinely afraid. Not because I didn’t believe it was true, but because I’ve been conditioned to be afraid of my own truth. Conditioned toContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: The Ache That Was Never Depression”
When the Yoke Breaks
In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat. (Isaiah 10:27) There’s a moment in every true spiritual journey when you realize that the burden didn’t disappear — you outgrew it. We talk a lot about GodContinueContinue reading “When the Yoke Breaks”
A Continuing Discussion on Discernment: On Dependency, Communion, and Channeling
There’s a specific kind of fog that settles in when people lose their spiritual grounding but still want to sound enlightened. It gets thicker in comment sections, especially under videos like the one I recently saw of Eckhart Tolle. In the video, he’s talking about the difference between channeling and communion. And while his toneContinueContinue reading “A Continuing Discussion on Discernment: On Dependency, Communion, and Channeling”
Sunday Sessions: The Danger of Borrowed Anointing
There’s something God has been pressing into my spirit today with such unmistakable weight that I can’t let it go unsaid. This is not a poetic revelation. Today’s Sunday Session is pretty straightforward compared to most of what we share and my usual writing style. This is a simple, holy warning: You cannot wear someoneContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: The Danger of Borrowed Anointing”
