What I learned from my journey from over 500 to under 200lbs.
My weight was not failure — it was misinformed strategy.

I carried the weight as:
a shield
a way to suppress dangerous desire or power
a theological obedience
a way to stay humble
a way to remain safe inside a system that punished embodied agency

My body was the prison that kept others comfortable. It was a self-imposed cage built to prevent a feared version of myself—sexual, powerful, expressive, boundaryless...free.

Once I stopped fearing myself, freeing myself was the natural next step.

A lot of people in Atlanta have outgrown religion —but still want rhythm, connection, and community.


BridgeCity Vision Night is a space to explore what comes next.
Not a church. Not a meetup. A clear, human-centered vision for building community without religion.



January 29 • Atlanta
Registration Opening Soon

Bridge City is rising.

New leaders are stepping up.
New clubs are activating.
And 2026 is already calling us to build bigger — LA, ATL, new campuses, more WKNDS, more community.

This is momentum.
And you’re part of it.

But here’s what makes BridgeCity different:

There are no tithes.
No dues.
No mandatory fees.

We don’t do obligatory giving.
We do intentional generosity — the kind that grows a movement because people believe in what we’re building, not because they’re pressured into it.

Giving Tuesday isn’t a bill.
It’s a reminder.
A moment to say, “I’m proud of this, and I want to strengthen it.”

And your giving today helps us:

1️⃣ Build momentum going into January

More programs, more activation, more ways for people to connect, grow, and lead.

2️⃣ Strengthen our culture of generosity

BridgeCity works because people show up with intention — not someday, but now.

If you’re proud of what we’re building, this is your moment to lean in.

And as a thank-you, everyone who gives $50 or more will receive our new
“connect better · build better · live better” hoodie — a clean, confident symbol of who we’re becoming.

👉 Give Here: www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button…

Let’s move. Let’s build. Let’s carry this momentum into 2026 with strength and clarity.

connect better → build better ← live better

Having an online home for BridgeCity Global has opened so many doors for more opportunity, ideas, and projects to work on as a community. For the month of November, we'll be supporting local food banks in small ways as well as prepping for our first Community Open House! We have BridgeCity Clubs rolling out strong AND we've finally settled into a routine for community movie night with a documentary for December and DOGMA for January. I'm hyped for 2026!

I had a few meetings today with some people that I'm really excited about. One was with a brother who is just as audaciously passionate as I am about launching local communities, and it felt like nourishment to my soul. Meeting folk like that keeps me hopefully optimistic about the future of humanity.

Today is GIVING TUESDAY for Bridge City!

Every Second Tuesday, we take a moment to remind and encourage our members and supporters to make a financial contribution toward the mission and movement.

In less than 2 years, we've not only become the fastest growing movement in the secular community, but also the most diverse, effectively bridging the gaps of ethnicity, gender, and age. In that short amount of time, we have successfully crafted content, conversations, and community experiences that are not only helping people let go of superstition and harmful beliefs but also helping them rise into their own human capacity.

Bridge City isn't building debate halls or echo-chambers. We're building better ways to connect. When you give to BridgeCity you are funding connection, fueling creation, and growing the movement.
