The past two years have been a wild ride!
Thank you all for your support. Your comments, likes and shares have both encouraged and empowered me as we've continued this journey together. I didn't imagine that we would be THIS FAR now doing THIS MUCH, but I'm grateful for every bit of it.
Over the past two years we've not only helped to decrease harm by producing content that helps people identify it and reorient, but we've also been able to increase wellbeing by cultivating community and resources that help people move forward.
And perhaps, this is just the beginning. Between this channel, my wife's channel (@DarnayaDarice), BridgeCity, WyndowShop and MasterMind, we've grown a unique ecosystem that may soon be capable of creating real tangible impact in the world we share.
And at the end of the day, that's the point. In order to make a difference we have to be the difference.
So thank you for accepting my difference. Thank you for allowing me to be unapologetically me. And thank you for sharing this journey with me.
Let's Keep Rising, and see what's next!

You got this. 💛
Just a small reminder for anyone carrying something heavy right now.
For a long time, my default response to hardship was: “I’ll be praying for you.”
Without that default, I’ve had to be more intentional with the words I choose.
So lately I’ve been saying: You got this.
Not because everything is within our control. Some things really are bigger than us.
But so much of what we face is within our hands—and we’ve proven that, over and over again. We’ve survived. We’ve adapted. We’ve rebuilt. We’ve learned.
So if you need a simple sentence to hold onto today: You got this.
And if you don’t feel like you do… you’re not alone.

When Christianity merges with state power, history shows a repeatable pattern—pluralism dies, dissent becomes crime, and societies regress. In this replay, we walk step-by-step through 380 CE, the Edict of Thessalonica, and the rise of Theodosius I—the moment Christianity became official Roman law and competing worldviews were outlawed.
We break down how “orthodoxy” became state policy, how inquiry was treated like treason, and why religious nationalism today echoes the same authoritarian playbook: censorship, anti-intellectualism, control of education, and the erosion of minority rights.
If you care about secularism, freedom of thought, church–state separation, and protecting society from theocratic rule, this is the history lesson we can’t afford to forget.

In this episode of Everything Wrong With the Bible, we break down how the “general epistles” function less like spiritual growth guides and more like community containment letters written after the adrenaline of early Christianity wore off and the end-times urgency didn’t resolve. When a movement stops looking at the horizon, it starts watching its own members — and these books help build the blueprint.

We have a growing number of clubs on the BridgeCity Global campus where our community members organize around a variety of topics like deconstruction, gardening, wellness, politics and even art. Each of these clubs host activities throughout the week that keep our community connected and growing.
I've been especially proud of this endeavor because it didn't come from me. I didn't organize it. I didn't facilitate it. I didn't plan it. It wasn't even my idea. And yet in the past three months, clubs have been a key driver of community engagement. Real conversations are taking place between people in Canada and Malaysia, Hiroshima and Miami, and the list goes on.
To me, this is a MAJOR win for the mission of Bridge City. In order for people to LIVE BETTER they have to BUILD BETTER. But people can't BUILD BETTER until they can CONNECT BETTER <-- That's the assignment. We're not building echo-chambers, we're building ecosystems. Between our clubs, groups, teams, movie nights, Sunday Sessions and monthly house parties, our members are reorienting themselves and reclaiming what living means to them. I am deeply honored and highly privileged to be in this position, in this moment.
Our Life's Big Questions Club is hosting a month long reflective conversation on the BIG questions that people are seeking answers to after leaving religion. This club is organized by one of our members from Australia who has been with us since November. She lives in a context where she cannot yet be open about her nonbelief, but over the last few month's our community has been able to provide her and countless others space not just to grieve, but to breathe. From a sociological perspective...this is the method to counter the madness. #KeepRising

I just released a new workbook on WyndowShop to accompany the Everything With Jesus Video. These are incredibly helpful for those who want a deeper dive into these subjects including vocabulary, resources and social insight.
Everything Wrong With Genesis — Student Workbook is a guided companion for anyone unpacking how Genesis shapes identity, morality, and institutions. Written for deconstructing thinkers, small groups, and facilitators, this workbook breaks the subject into course-ready modules (Creation, Adam & Eve, The Fall, Gender, Divine Violence, Flood, Babel, Chosenness, Literalism), psychological insights, sociological analysis, a glossary, curated study resources, and discussion + capstone prompts. Use it as a self-study guide or as the backbone for BridgeCity-style discussion sessions and MasterMind modules that rebuild epistemic confidence, moral agency, and community without authoritarian frameworks.
