Verse & Vision | May 22, 2026

The last fifteen years have been a lot. Cancer. Alzheimer’s. Caregiving. Loss after loss – the kind that moves in and stacks up until it pulls you under with it. And layered underneath all of that, my own mess. But He was before all of it. And in Him, somehow, all of it is holding together. Not in spite of the wreckage. Through it. Anything good you see in me is just God. It comes from being dragged by Him through the refiner’s fire, and Him giving my heart the strength to beat at all.

Did You Know? | The Credibility of the Bible

The Bible is sixty-six books written by forty different people over fifteen hundred years. Archaeologists have used it to uncover civilizations scholars insisted never existed. Over three hundred prophecies described one specific person centuries before he arrived – and then Jesus fulfilled all of them. The witnesses who saw him die and come back didn’t return to wealth or power. They returned to testimony, and died for it. The proof is abundant. It is, at the very least, worth considering.

Science & Spirituality | Surrender Is Not Powerlessness: What Your Brain and Your Bible Both Know About Anger

Being pissed off feels powerful. But psychologically and spiritually, it’s a trap. Here’s what your brain and your Bible both know about anger, resentment, and why surrender is the most powerful thing you can do.

Science & Spirituality | Dinosaurs are Fake… DId You Know?

The Bible never uses the word “dinosaur” — and there’s a very good reason for that. It might not be what you think. Welcome to Did You Know? — a new series pulling back the curtain on the things that look like contradictions but are actually just gaps in translation, time, and context.

What the Desert Kept: The Unbound Word | Passing the Scroll

These aren’t questions that destabilize Scripture. What they destabilize is a shallow relationship with Scripture. A faith that can’t survive honest examination probably needed, and still needs, to be examined.

What the Desert Kept: The Unbound Word | Where I Stand

This is the part of this series where I stop circling the evidence and tell you plainly where all of this has landed for me. Not a conclusion to the questions, per se, but the position I’ve taken inside of them.

What the Desert Kept: The Unbound Word | Where the Thread Held

The Dead Sea Scrolls put real pressure on things I thought I understood — canon, transmission, messianic expectation. But pressure is not the same as rupture. A thread under tension is still a thread. This is where it held.

What the Desert Kept: The Unbound Word | What the Scrolls Complicate

The Dead Sea Scrolls don’t undermine the faith. They complicate the comfortable version of it — and that’s not the same thing. Canon fluidity, textual variants, messianic plurality: none of these are hidden, none are invented, and none of them get to stay safely unexamined. Part 3 of What the Desert Kept: The Unbound Word.

What the Desert Kept: The Unbound Word | My Father’s Questions

Part 2 of What the Desert Kept: The Unbound Word traces the questions my father couldn’t put down — about canon, suppression, and the distance between institutional Christianity and the faith Scripture actually describes. It also traces what those questions cost him, what they planted in me without my knowing, and what it took for me to finally understand the inheritance he left behind. This one got personal. I think it needed to.

What the Desert Kept: The Unbound Word | The Discovery

In 1947, a young Bedouin shepherd threw a rock into a cave near the Dead Sea and heard something break. What was inside those clay jars would become the most significant manuscript discovery in modern history — and would take decades of scholarly struggle, controversy, and one very persistent librarian to finally reach the rest of the world. This is Part One of What the Desert Kept: The Unbound Word, a five-part deep dive into the Dead Sea Scrolls — their discovery, their contents, the community that preserved them, and the Scriptural threads that held across nearly two thousand years of silence.

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”

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”

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”

Authenticity Unveiled | Beyond the Surface: The Truth About Your Spiritual Presence

In the 3D reality we inhabit, image is everything. From social media profiles to first impressions, people go to great lengths to curate how they are perceived. But while appearances can be manipulated, your energy—the essence of who you are—is something that cannot be faked. It is your spiritual face card, and in both the physical andContinueContinue reading “Authenticity Unveiled | Beyond the Surface: The Truth About Your Spiritual Presence”
