I’ve been thinking about what makes a life legible — not impressive or persuasive, just readable as belonging to something deeper. This one was shaped by Scripture, a lot of internal questions, and my unexpected love for The Brothers Karamazov. findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/pep-talk-t...

“I have seen the sun break through… and gone my way and forgotten it.” Wrote about R. S. Thomas, forgetful faith, Joshua’s stones, and why God keeps giving us ways to remember outside ourselves. findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/get-me-a-s...

Learning ASL has been teaching me more than a new language — it’s been reshaping how I think about silence, listening, and God’s voice. Wrote about Helen Keller, Scripture, and “the sound of thin silence” this week on Finding Faith Again. 💙 findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/is-your-he...

As this year closes, I think about how astonishing it is that we are still here—still breathing, still caring, and still trying to love in a hard world. I wrote a love letter reminding us that Scripture calls us very good. You are a wonder of God. findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/a-letter-f...

Every year I watch A Charlie Brown Christmas. If you’re feeling worn down by explanations or arguments around faith, I hope this resonates. #peanuts #christmas findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/this-is-wh...

I’m reading In the Low and it’s been a gentle invitation back to honest prayer. It’s part of why I wrote about Advent this week — not big or dramatic, just real. Whisper, wonder, welcome. 🕯️ findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/the-whispe...

“The story of God continues ... because someone in every generation decides that the faith they have received is worth tending to for those who will come after them.” findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/the-clock-... #FindingFaithAgain #SlowFaith #AdventHope

New post today on Finding Faith Again. Still thinking about this: “Even God-with-us, Emmanuel, moved slowly!” If that doesn’t give us permission to breathe, I don’t know what does. findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/cathedral-...

I’ve been thinking about Genesis 2 and what it means that God once breathed life into people made of dust. The new piece is up! “The breath that entered Adam’s lungs never stopped moving. It’s the same air that fills your chest and mine.” findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/animated-d...

“Where did I go wrong?” The Fray’s song keeps echoing in my head when I think about faith today. Maybe the first step in following Jesus is this: Step One — Be Human. ❤️ Read → findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/how-to-be-... #Faith #Beatitudes #FindingFaithAgain

Jane Goodall once said, “I’m chasing good on this planet.” Maybe faith looks like doing the same — following the trail of mercy that’s already running ahead of us. 🌿 New post: Be a Chaser of Good! findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/be-a-chase... #FindingFaithAgain #Hope #Faith #Goodness

“Exclusion isn’t just absence; it is denial. Welcome says: your presence is desired.” New Finding Faith Again: findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/not-invisi...

People aren’t looking for higher walls in the church. They’re longing for places to breathe. New on Finding Faith Again: When the Church Feels Like a Fortress Instead of a Refuge open.substack.com/pub/findingf...

“To bear witness is to refuse to look away, whether from the wounds of Christ or the wounds of our neighbors.” New Finding Faith Again essay: Bearing Witness in the Dark — on shadows, solidarity, and Tagore’s bird who sings before dawn. findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/bearing-wi...

Ever opened your Bible and discovered portions of it gone? I have. (Yes, really.) In this week’s post, I reflect on what a misprint taught me about the parts of Jesus we sometimes forget. findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/the-day-an... #Faith #FindingFaithAgain #Jesus #Isaiah9 #Christianity

A new post is up! I wrote about squinting and God and everything going on in this world. It’s about echoes of grief, yes, but also echoes of God’s faithfulness, even when everything feels off-kilter. I hope it encourages you! findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/faith-some...

A new blog post is up: The Flue to My Faith Seems Jammed 🔥 It’s about hitting a spiritual standstill, not knowing the next step, and why that might be part of the process. “Stagnation isn’t fun, but it’s also not spiritual failure.” findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/the-flue-t...

Some of the most important theology happens in the back pew. I wrote about 7 questions I hear again and again—about doubt, fear, church hurt, and whether God still meets us in the mess. Read here → findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/questions-... #SpiritualQuestions #Faith #WrestlingWithGod

If the world feels heavy right now, you’re not alone. I wrote a short piece rooted in an ancient blessing—just a gentle reminder that peace is still possible. 💛 findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/the-lord-b... #blessing #faith #findingfaithagain

New post is live! It includes my dad, a coconut cream pie, a moody sky, and a reminder that God’s kindness still breaks through. It’s gentle but strong. If you're someone who’s just trying to make it through the week—this one's for you. findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/kindness-t...

When right belief becomes a gate instead of a guide, something gets lost. I’ve been thinking about orthodoxy, orthopraxy, and the wild, wide table Jesus keeps setting. 🪑 Who do we leave out when we’re sure we’re right? findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/orthodoxy-...

I miss seeing worms on the sidewalk. That strange realization turned into a reflection on Jonah, Peter, and how God's grace doesn’t let go—even when we do. 👉 A Gospel for the Squirmy and Fragile findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/a-gospel-f... #Faith #Grace #SpiritualLife

Miracles aren’t a thing of the past. God still heals, still restores, still surprises us with hope. This week’s post is about white butterflies, whispered prayers, and the quiet ways God keeps showing up. ✨ Read here: findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/god-still-...

A worship song lyric about a sloppy wet kiss sent me into a spiral this week — and reminded me how even a small shift in how we see God can change everything. If your faith has felt off course lately, this post is for you. findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/is-your-im... #faithjourney #imageofGod

Still thinking about this: Jesus kept his scars after the resurrection. They weren’t a flaw — they were the proof of healing. Maybe ours are too. 👉 Why Jesus Kept His Scars After the Resurrection open.substack.com/pub/findingf... #Faith #Healing #EasterReflection

Between death and resurrection, Jesus wasn’t idle. He was undoing death from the inside. This week I wrote about Holy Saturday — the quiet day most of us skip — and why it might just be where hope begins. #HolySaturday #FindingFaithAgain #HolyWeek findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/the-silenc...

Imagine Jesus submitting a résumé today. No titles. No seminary degree. Rejected by religious leaders. Qualifications? Pierced, crushed, and still choosing love. findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/the-man-wi... #FindingFaithAgain #Jesus #Isaiah53 #HolyWeek

Broke a 691-day Bible reading streak last week. Felt like failure. But then I remembered Holy Week isn’t about spiritual success—it’s about Jesus showing up for people who couldn’t hold it together. New post: Resetting After 691 Days findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/resetting-...

There’s a word for realizing every single person around you has a life as vivid as your own: sonder. Jesus never lost it. When was the last time you truly listened to someone you disagreed with—without trying to correct them? findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/do-you-wan... #Faith #Empathy #Listening

Today I finally wrote something after 30 days of COVID fog. It’s about faith and icebergs and how we’re only ever seeing a tiny part of what’s really holding us up. Faith isn’t just me—it’s us. And I needed that reminder today. Read it here if you’re curious: open.substack.com/pub/findingf...

Two Roads of Faith: An Allegory open.substack.com/pub/findingf... #Deconstruction #FaithfulLiving #LoveLikeJesus #ChristianThought #HonestFaith

Faith isn’t always something we hold alone. Sometimes, it’s something we borrow from others—when we’re too tired, too hurt, or too uncertain to carry it ourselves. I’ve been there. And maybe you have, too. Read my latest post: findingfaithagain.substack.com/p/for-the-da...

"Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows." – Shakespeare We all have those people we’d rather not share space with—especially in our increasingly divided world. But if we’re following Jesus, we have to ask: What does it mean to engage with people we disagree with?

Too many people have been hurt by those who claim to follow Jesus. And too often, no one apologizes. So today, I want to step in and say these three words: I am sorry. #Faith #Christianity #Healing
