I asked ChatGPT to design a book cover for me, and this is what it generated. It's way better than previous attempts. The difference is that I asked ChatGPT to recommend a prompt that would design the cover based on the first chapters of my memoir. What do you think?

Not all Baptists are the same. I’m glad to be one of the welcoming and affirming ones (e.g. not Southern Baptist)

🌬️ The Breath is upon us...

I’ve officially finished the first chapter of my upcoming fantasy novel, Obsidian Seed. Set in the ancient village of TurHallow, this story begins with a whisper from the woods and a secret that could doom them all.

Chapter One: Complete.

Words can’t express how awesome Nadia Bolz-Weber is in person. I got to see her in Salt Lake City tonight. I’ve learned so much from her. I got to tell her in-person how she’s influenced my ministry and given me permission to be authentic. Tonight, I got to meet one of my heroes.

Submitted a creative non-fiction short story, "The Heart," to the League of Utah Writers 2025 anthology. It is a story of the wild mystery of creation, love lost, a journey of hope, and risking to love again.
