This is a topic that feels a little strange for me to write about because there was a time in my life when I would not accept accountability in any form. To say I reacted badly when anyone tried to hold me accountable would be a massive understatement. I wasn’t willing to let others do…

I was remembering a conversation I had many years ago. At the time, I had just gone from building power lines to working in IT for a massive online trading corporation with offices around the country. It was a big shift, not just in the work itself, but in the culture. I had to learn…

My wife said something this morning that made us both laugh. She looked at me and said, “You’re always in a good mood now, even when you haven’t slept… and it’s kind of creepy!” She said it because I hadn’t slept well last night, yet here I was this morning still happy, still in a…

Happy Friday! Have you ever heard of “mental Kung Fu”? I hadn’t either, at least not outside the martial arts world. The phrase might sound mystical or exotic, like something reserved for monks or fighters, but it really isn’t. It’s actually really simple. “Mental Kung Fu” is just applying the principles of martial arts like…

I woke up to another beautiful day here today. As part of my daily morning routine I checked in on the recovery community across a few platforms. There’s almost always something encouraging there.

Today is a beautiful day here in Santa Fe! The ravens are flying, talking to each other as they ride invisible currents in the air.

Have you ever found yourself as an adult still craving approval like you did when you were a kid? Still hoping someone notices you and says something like, “Hey, you’re doing really good” or something like that? I didn’t realize until recent years just how much of my life was shaped by chasing that. I…

I spent most of my life searching for a spiritual path that I could feel and see the truth in. One that was me, not one I was told to believe or threatened with hell if I didn’t. One that I could feel the truth of with every fiber of my being. Christianity never did…

Yesterday we spent the entire day driving. Not just driving to get somewhere, but driving to look. Exploring areas in Rio Rancho and Bernalillo, thinking about where we might be moving to in the coming months. New roads, new neighborhoods, and new views. There’s something sorta weird about that kind of day. You’re not quite…

Is there ever such a thing as a “holy war”? Personally, I think not. Ever. Yet there seems to be a growing “chorus”, particularly among some Evangelicals,suggesting otherwise. There are even reports of military leaders framing the war with Iran in explicitly religious terms, as if it were somehow tied to bringing about the Parousia,…
