On Substack, I explore the truth and the treasure in what the church calls trash.
I write for the ones sifting through the rubble of religion, the seekers haunted by holiness, the post-evangelicals, the wounded theologians, the sacred exiles. I write for those who can’t unknow what they know.
Each post is a mixtape of memory, theology, history, and cultural clarity — meant to help you name what’s real, reclaim your story, and build something more beautiful than what broke you.
