I am LOVING nature journaling. This is day 4 of 4 in a row—first thing my son and I do when we get up: notice, wonder, and connect. And a little poetry popped out too: Through my eyes God sees herself And I see you infused in the everywhere present filling all things Lull me

Happy Interdependence Day! I'm going live at 11:30 am Central Time. Join me with a poem, a song, interpretive dance, a spiritual/philosophical/political insight, or your still inner light. youtube.com/live/r9E9h9YVS…

Happy Interdependence Day! I give you my stream-of-consciousness poem/rebrand for this July 4th day of remembrance: Happy interdependence day. I love my independence, but I don't love being lonely. I like to be free to make my own choices, whether a man or a woman or a they, but

Steve makes a powerful case here for why philosophy will play a crucial role in facilitating the next worldview (post-postmodernity).

Guerilla video production is one of the many things I do—am learning to do—at the Institute for Cultural Evolution. This one was a lot of fun to make, in collaboration with Steve McIntosh (Steve McIntosh). I'm no "pro" video editor, but I'm learning the joys and sorrows of

If crab can, maybe I can too.

"sCrap to Sculpture" may or may not be a new TV series I am creating in my backyard, where I blur the line between sincerity and bullsh...play. A little bit of practical know-how, creative process, and theological/spiritual reflections.

This conversation is part of why the Midwestuary 2025 was one of the best conferences I’ve ever attended. Well done, Paul Vander Klay!

What a beautiful ending to a rich weekend of conversation. I got to pray with Sam Spencer, Rod Dreher, Dion, Jeff, and Chris at a lovely OCA cathedral (Holy Trinity). Unsurprisingly, our estuary conversation ethos bled into fellowship hour—I almost didn't have time to go pee

AUSTIN THEOLOGY NERDS: Our Church (St. John the Forerunner Orthodox Church) is having Jordan Daniel Wood present this Saturday (8/30) on his most recent book, The Whole Mystery of Christ, and St. Maximus the Confessor. DM me if you're in the area.

TLC/Estuary folks: I'm going live today at my usual 11:30 a.m. Central Time. Would love to see your faces. Bring something to share—a poem, a song, a takeaway from midwestuary! youtube.com/live/Fb3G3W8md…
