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?”

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”
What Caregiving Is Really Like (Series): The Many Layers of Grief in Caregiving
Caregiving is a profound, sacred journey that takes us through various emotional, physical, and spiritual landscapes. Yet, one of the most complex and often misunderstood aspects of caregiving is the grief that caregivers experience. This grief is not just tied to the death of a loved one but begins long before that final loss. AndContinueContinue reading “What Caregiving Is Really Like (Series): The Many Layers of Grief in Caregiving”
What Caregiving Is Really Like (Series): Short-Term vs. Long-Term Caregiving — Two Different Worlds
Caregiving is not a one-size-fits-all experience. It takes many forms, shifts with time, and impacts people in wildly different ways depending on the duration, intensity, and emotional undercurrents involved. While most people have a general understanding of what it means to “be a caregiver,” very few grasp the depth of difference between short-term caregiving andContinueContinue reading “What Caregiving Is Really Like (Series): Short-Term vs. Long-Term Caregiving — Two Different Worlds”
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”
What Caregiving Is Really Like (Series): The Truth No One Talks About
Caregiving is one of the hardest, most isolating experiences a person can go through—and yet, it’s often misunderstood, overlooked, or wrapped in a neat little bow for the sake of making it easier to talk about. This series is about breaking through that silence. It’s about telling the truth—the good, the bad, and the partsContinueContinue reading “What Caregiving Is Really Like (Series): The Truth No One Talks About”
Sunday Sessions: The Love We Notice While It’s Here
Writing this post feels like déjà vu—like I’ve written it before. Maybe I have. But it hit me again this morning, and I’m sharing it anyway. We can never have too many reminders to notice what we’re grateful for, to hold it close before it’s gone. Every morning, my mother-in-law texts me. Just a simpleContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: The Love We Notice While It’s Here”
The Observer at the Center: A Journey Through Cosmos and Connection
There’s a profound resonance in the idea that the “infinite universe” has no center, yet the “observable universe” pivots around the observer—you, me, each of us standing as a singular point of perception in an endless expanse. This rings true, even in a Biblical sense, if you delve deeply enough to weave it into notContinueContinue reading “The Observer at the Center: A Journey Through Cosmos and Connection”
Deconstructing the Chains of Tradition: Unlearning Religion to Experience God, Reclaim Spirituality, and Understand the Bible Beyond Doctrine
The Issue of Religious Deconstruction The topic—nay, the issue—of religious deconstruction is far from a new one. In fact, we’ve discussed it before here at the Twin Tree Project. Yet, as I’ve immersed myself in the spiritual and religious communities on X, hoping to engage, explore and grow with more people of like mind andContinueContinue reading “Deconstructing the Chains of Tradition: Unlearning Religion to Experience God, Reclaim Spirituality, and Understand the Bible Beyond Doctrine”
Walking in Integrity: Why You Were Called to Stand Out
I came across a post on X today that deeply resonated with me. It perfectly articulated something I’ve been reflecting on (and sharing with you, from other perspectives) a lot lately—how once we awaken, grow, or “level up,” we often feel like we no longer fit in. But the truth is, we aren’t meant toContinueContinue reading “Walking in Integrity: Why You Were Called to Stand Out”
