Everybody Gets In Love, Boundaries, and the Difference Between Inclusion and Permission I think I finally understand one of the strangest arguments I keep hearing from people who preach Christian love. Apparently, if I say “all are welcome,” some people hear: “Rapists, predators, abusers and dangerous people should be allowed to do whatever they want.” No. That […]
A New Clarification About Ozarks Church of Nature Apparently I need to update the update. 😂 Some of you may remember a post I made not very long ago explaining that Ozarks Church of Nature was a sanctuary, garden, and community space, but was not affiliated with a religion or spiritual organization. That was completely true

Okay, So I Founded a Church. Now What? Well… here I am another year older, and apparently I accidentally founded the church I spent my whole life looking for. 😂 Tomorrow is my birthday, and apparently this is as good a time as any to say something I still find slightly ridiculous out loud: I founded

Everybody Wants the Keys Until It’s Time to Earn Them (based on a video I did on this topic years ago.) I used to talk a lot about secret societies. Years ago, I spent ridiculous amounts of time going down rabbit holes. Who knows what? Who belongs to what? What symbols mean what? What are they
