There comes a point in life when you realize that love and attachment are not the same thing. When we grow apart from those we used to think we couldn’t live without, those who we were merely attached to without depth or reciprocation, we don’t stop caring; we stop carrying. That’s what real forgiveness andContinueContinue reading “We Don’t Stop Caring, We Stop Carrying”

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 | Noise of Ego vs. Voice of Spirit
The clash between illusion and truth is not only around us. It is within us. Nowhere is that battle clearer than in the noise of ego versus the voice of Spirit. The ego is loud. It demands attention, insists on control, and craves validation. It thrives on illusion because illusions protect its power. Ego willContinueContinue reading “Authenticity Unveiled | Noise of Ego vs. Voice of Spirit”
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”
Authenticity Unveiled | 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 “Authenticity Unveiled | Clarity ≠ Bitterness: A reflection on spiritual boundaries, peace, and divine wisdom.”
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)”
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”
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”
Science & Spirituality | Not Just Another Day: The Gate Is Open and It’s Time to Choose
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. —Isaiah 43:19 Something has shifted. Do you feel it? You may not be able to explain it—not in logical terms, not in words that feel entirelyContinueContinue reading “Science & Spirituality | Not Just Another Day: The Gate Is Open and It’s Time to Choose”
Sunday Sessions | A Warning from Spirit (Humanity Is on the Brink of Its Own Undoing)
The world is in chaos—and it’s not because of war, politics, or economics. It’s because humanity itself has lost the ability to see the truth. We are glorifying destruction and calling it progress. We are rejecting wisdom and calling it self-righteousness. We are suffocating in our own excess while still screaming for more. And worstContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions | A Warning from Spirit (Humanity Is on the Brink of Its Own Undoing)”
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”
