I just sent out a March 2025 update about Bread and where I’m at! Check it out here, but I did think about the idea…
Where Faith and Reason Collide

“I was so excited about Bread because I had, maybe, a week before, had a conversation with my mom and dad about needing a lot of money so we could just start a L’Abri like what Francis Schaeffer did, because through a ministry like that we could serve people like Jesus did—without expectation of anything in return, without concern about whether or not they were going to become members, tithe, or ‘grow’ the ministry.”
In this article I share my thoughts on the importance of Saint Augustine’s idea that all truth belongs to God, and how that should shape the way we interact with the world and Christians.
What if Peter’s realization of “Where Else Can I Go?” was more of a revelation that went back to Exodus.
After almost 40 years on this earth, I finally really understand Peter’s words in John 6. At some point, so much as happened that I’ve finally realized, there’s nothing I can do. There’s no where else I can go.
We all have friends in our lives that fundamentally change our lives. Often times we don’t realize it… it isn’t until something big happens that we put the pieces together. These friends aren’t always the friends we grew up with, these friends are sometimes the ones that you’ve interacted with for a season and then you lost touch because of life, timing, or distance. One of these people in my life has been Zach. You may never have had the opportunity to meet him, but if you know me, he’s probably had an impact on your life.
Looking back, we can see how Dr. Stanley stood as a bulwark against the seemingly unending waves of both personal and faith attacks, with his parliamentary knowledge and wit so sharp that his opponents would sue him seeking federal intervention to stop him – but it almost didn’t happen.
The conclusion of the Gaslight Saga.
Here I talk about my experience being gaslit at a church I was working at.
Continuing my tale of how I realized I was gaslit, and how it affected me, this is my experience with corporate gaslighting. I have worn many hats in my life, I’ve worked in warehouses, in retail establishments, churches, freelancing, and for MNC’s in all areas.
While not every experience has been awesome. This one specifically was the most traumatic.
Gaslighting is when you’re manipulated over an extended period of time causing you to question the validity of your own reality and can lead to the questioning of things once thought to be unquestionable.
Here’s Christiaan’s preface to his own experience.
