Things I’m asking. Things I’m sitting with. Things I don’t have answers to yet.
✝️ Faith & Meaning
I spent most of my life certain — certain of the supernatural, certain of life after death, certain of the framework I’d been given. Then I spent about five years in genuine agnosticism. I’m not sure I’m fully there anymore, but I’m not sure I’m back where I was either.
So: What do I actually believe? And perhaps more honestly — does it matter if I can’t be certain?
I’m also sitting with the parable of the Lost Coin. If God rejoices when the lost are found, does God grieve when they remain lost? What does divine grief look like — and what does it say about the nature of God?
👨👧👦 Parenting
I love my kids more than I know how to say. But I worry the world they’re growing up in is so different from the one I grew up in that we’re sometimes speaking different languages without realizing it.
How do I bridge that gap? How do I make sure they know — really know — how loved they are, even when I don’t always know how to show it in ways that land?
🇺🇸 Society
America feels like it’s at another crossroads — and not for the first time. I think about the civil rights era, the unrest of the ’90s, and now the mid-2020s, where the scope has expanded but the pattern feels familiar: a government deciding which people are worth less than others. The targets have shifted — immigrants, trans and nonbinary people — but the machinery feels the same.
How do we get out of these cycles? And what’s my responsibility within them?
