Creation Spirituality is lived through four paths: awe, letting go, creation, and transformation. Together they make a spiral: the sacred dance of living, dying, and becoming.

Each new generation dresses its fear in different clothes: witches, rock music, rap lyrics, foreign dolls, queer joy, or artificial intelligence. The names change, but the spell is the same. Fear becomes a liturgy.

Imagine what would happen if every sermon began, “You are a blessing.”

Across history, satanic panics have claimed to battle evil but who actually benefits when fear spreads?

From the witch trials to the 1980s moral hysteria to today’s culture wars

If religion begins with “you are broken,” spirituality begins with “you belong.” Creation Spirituality starts there: with belonging.

We were not born in sin. We were born in blessing. The cosmos itself is grace made visible: stardust learning to love.

Liberty has no leaders and followers. Freedom does not bow down. Truth does not obey the whims of tyrrants.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public" - Theodore Roosevelt

Nazarene means the branches and refers to Jesus' teaching:

“I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing (John 15:5).”

I choose to live in the Divine Vineyard.

Assimilation removes everything about a person that makes them unique. The reason they are afraid of diversity and individuality is that diverse individuals don't follow blindly.

The Trump administration says more difficult questions, and other changes to the naturalization process, will ensure only immigrants who are "fully assimilated" will gain citizenship.

The test for U.S. citizenship is about to get harder

I will not be calling myself a Christian anymore. I am going back to the older term, Nazarene. I will continue to use the term Christopagan to situate myself in that tradition, but I don't want to do anything anymore that sounds like I a part of any tradition that created Christian Nationalism.

As someone trained in several initiatory traditions, I've wondered if ordination has any role in my life. While it could be some sort of initiation in itself, in many traditions it is more about authority and power... Is ordination an unjust hierarchy or a necessary sign of approval? I don't know.

How to Win at life:

Step 1. Let people do What they need to do to make them happy, mind your own business and do what you need to do to make you happy.

The end.

I've struggled with ordination for a long time. I was raised in an Evangelical tradition that didn't care much about institutional approval. More than that though, I am not sure what the function and purpose of ordination is in the world today. For me it is more about lineage than authority.

We need more Jessica Taylovs and less of the others. Jesse Watters shouldn't even be allowed on air.

What if prayer isn’t what you say, but how you live?
That idea changed everything for me.

Rapture tells us to leave. Christ tells us to love. Where have you seen “stay and heal” in action, and what is one small Kin-dom practice you can begin this week?

Tradition is the spice of life. Too much and it ruins the taste, too little and everything is bland. The best thing is, they can be mixed into new combinations to refresh and enliven us to new experiences.

I don't understand people and movements who water themselves down to where they lose all flavor. We must celebrate our vibrant diversity and not homogenize everything down to gray mush.
