NEW POST: "Do trees weep? The older I get and the deeper I dive into the vastness of God’s unveiling of himself to us, the more questions like these emerge, inviting me to venture beyond the looking glass into a world more real than the one I’ve settled for."

NEW POST: "This article is an attempt at self-reflection. A conversation starter for the American church today: What good is it to read and memorize the word of God, if we don’t allow it to transform us into the Word of God himself?"

Since the rapture didn't happen yesterday, let's take time to learn how to study the book of Revelation to draw us closer to Jesus?

NEW POST: "Grace frustrates and redeems every avenue of suffering, transforming every pain into passageways of intimacy with our crucified King. And yet, even now, as I see the strategy, I still don’t like it. I still don’t enjoy it."

Pain doesn’t shrink in the dark—it grows. It starts to call the shots, shaping our lives even when we think we’re in control. But when we face it, when we let light in, it loses its grip.

For so many, Revelation feels confusing or distant. But underneath, there’s an invitation to intimacy and transformation. I spoke with @shanejwood.bsky.social about how this strange book confronts our loneliness, reshapes our identity, and reveals how close God truly is.

Y'all, I can't even express how grateful I am that "Thinning the Veil" is already into its 2nd printing, is a #1 bestseller on Amazon, and the book hasn't even released yet!

The book releases May 20th! Get your copy now 🙂
