Fueling seminaries and dividing church history lies one of

The basics of life

Over eight years, a lot of things have changed...and a lot has not. Faith is often thought of as an all-in or all-out decision.

The manuscript is being imported into InDesign. A handful of guest pieces are out for review—submissions to Sojourners, Relevant Magazine, Christian Century, Branded Way, and a few others. Those articles are a way of chipping at the larger conversation this book is meant to crack open. The interviews with Branon

We often wrestle with how to change ourselves. So, we're going to take

There is a failed idea out there that thinks "work" only became necessary after the Fall of chapter 3. However, that's simply not the case. Genesis chapter 3

Spiritual philosophies, shamanic practices, hermitic wisdom, and mystery cults were not fringe curiosities; they were prominent across human history and

Today, we're previewing a section from my "booklet" (about 35,000 words) that is an uncooked “cookie dough” draft building a case for a philosophy for the future. It's called "The Coming of the Son of Man and

It isn’t a neat, tidy process—it’s messy, unpredictable, and takes time. Sometimes, it feels as if the

Across headlines and social media, pundits, scientists, and church leaders fiercely debate whether empathy is a vital value for humanity or merely a tool that feeds our egos and fuels division. This conversation is not abstract—it plays out in boardrooms, on political

All of that was a setup for this post. To summarize 3:1-8, James cautioned his audience against wanting to be teachers since teachers are held to a

For example, when we read that Peter calls us “sojourners and foreigners” in 1 Peter 2, he isn’t simply saying that we are

You're not alone if you still get a kick out of recalling VeggieTales’s pea smoothie-antics whenever Jericho comes up. But behind the Sunday School flannel graphs lies a raw and

Edited Feb 26, 2025 Genesis 3 has been labeled as “The Fall” or some variation thereof. The ESV heading of my Bible says it, as well as the NASB and NIV.

Up until then, you are just doing research." — Carl Jung Do you believe people can change? I do—especially now. From my story to my studies, it's a foregone fact.

- [From Honesty To Heresy:Rethinking What We Hold Certain](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/from-honesty-to-heresyrethinking-what-we-hold-certain-2024/06) - For years, I felt like a fraud, an imposter. It's something psychological like many people experience. I was a pastor, but deep down, my own beliefs were at odds with the doctrines I preached. I had a self-destructive habit of preventing myself from being fully authentic. I wasn't healthy. Leading a church terrified me. This internal conflict eventually led to a breakdown, and it took a rock bottom to force me to confront my fears and the issues within the church itself. I'm not the only one. It's amazing what a simple shift in perspective can do…eh, church?

For centuries, the doctrine of Penal Substitutionary Atonement (PSA) has been upheld in the heart of Western evangelical theology. According to this view, Christ’s death was a forensic transaction: He bore the punitive wrath of God in our place, satisfying divine justice that would normally have sentenced us

For the one who is faithful may grow complacent in his virtue, thinking he has earned favor, while the one who has gone astray is revealed as more fully in need of it." Søren Kierkegaard

Pilate asked Jesus, a question that still echoes through philosophy, theology, and modern comedians. Considering who Pilate was looking at, it could just as easily have been, "What is love?"—a question just as profound, just

For many Christians, the existence of alien life would be problematic for their faith, but not for all. “Who can measure the innumerable galaxies or even conjecture the multitude of heavenly bodies that exist, invisible to our eyes yet

There’ve been a lot more lessons since then. A recurring theme this year has been growing up—both personally and in the world around us. When sobriety finally

Seven-ish years ago, I made one to write a book on the Samaritan Woman at the Well. Early in 2024, I intended to pick up where I left off. The research into John took me to a tipping

This principle, deeply embedded in the sciences and humanities, recognizes that each generation builds on the wisdom, labor, and insights of those who came before. Yet, it also

The book of Joshua is an uncomfortable book for most. In it, we find the complete annihilation of entire communities. The modern reader is forced to wrestle with the utter brutality of it all. I feel, as the modern Christian, trapped with only two seemingly polar opposite options:

But the miracle of Christmas goes far deeper than the polished narratives we preach. It’s about Incarnation—The Word becoming flesh, not in grandeur but in simplicity, humility, and presence. God and

This model, which I first encountered in Moscow, ID, emphasizes the importance of relationships in our spiritual journey. Discipleship and the interpersonal side of Christianity were things sorely lacking. However, it's crucial to understand that relationships extend

Let's explore my story through the lens of mortality and responsibility, and discuss the neurological side of things. I've hesitated to share parts of it online, especially as they were happening. It's been long enough, we can explore it

Over the decades, from church meetings to AA rooms, this prayer has been repeated together with others from a variety of perspectives. To us, the prayer Jesus offered his audience as a model for "how" to pray

It wasn’t perfect, and I’m still far from having it all figured out. But three years ago, practicing gratitude created enough space in my fractured, alcoholic mind for something remarkable to happen—I started seeing things honestly. It was gratitude that helped

Agape love, as described in 1 Corinthians 13, is inherently curious, seeking to know, understand, and embrace truth. Fear often impedes this process,

Love must be curious—it knows no other way. Without curiosity, love starves to death. Agape love seeks to understand, to delve deeply, and to uncover truth even when it is painful. As Paul writes in

Since getting sober, it has been a journey to get back on my journey. "Studying" and sponging up information is second nature—being teachable, however, is a new habit. Tribes by Seth Godin

Even if disagreed with, even if it's a bit off-based, that's fine. The questions that arise from this is what matters. "The church has lost her testimony. She no longer is of any consequence.

We’ve been here before. Ancient Romans feared witchcraft and “foreign” influences on their virtue and honor, just as Christians have throughout history - they removed women from positions of power in their religion too. When Rome and Christianity merged, they blamed women's fleshly

It’s one of those where the writer of Scripture lays out a big picture, offering a deep answer to help Jesus-followers frame their lives. It’s also one of those passages that preaches well from the stage but doesn't always drift into

It's underway but has evolved, grown, and shifted. I need more time with her. The story of where the idea began and where it is now is, to me, an interesting journey. So, aside from sharing that story, I

Genuinely glad you're here. If you're voting for Trump, you likely have more than one reason. Coming from an American Evangelical ministry background, I feel I understand the motivations of Christians who support Trump. If you're firmly set
- ["Do Not Let Your Left Hand Know..." - Secret Acts and Public Faith](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/do-not-let-your-left-hand-know-secret-acts-and-public-faith-2024/08) - Jesus still goes a bit further with "Do not let your left hand know what your right is doing." At least, my brain thinks he did. Of the other measures Jesus called you and me to take to ensure that we don't mess it up, this one is pretty messed up and borderline impossible. To do this, literally, you have to ensure that all the thoughts and thinking involved in moving your right hand don't even cross to the other side of your brain. Our brains have two hemispheres, and each hemisphere controls the opposite side of the body. These hemispheres are bridged through the corpus callosum, lobes, brainstem, cerebellum, and others.
- [Agapology: The Theological Absence of Love](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/agapology-the-theological-absence-of-love-2024/08) - Over a decade ago, while serving as a youth pastor in Eastern Montana, I read Greg Boyd's The Myth of A Christian Nation. Boyd pointed out a striking irony: despite the history of Christians burning others at the stake in the name of Truth—literally or metaphorically—few are labeled as heretics for being unloving. This quote,

And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed" (Genesis 2:24-25). This last
- [The Hypocrisy of Outrage: The Drag Queen Last Supper Controversy](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/the-hypocrisy-of-outrage-the-drag-queen-last-supper-controversy-2024/08) - The recent Olympics Drag Queen 'Last Supper' controversy riled everyone up, including me—not because it happened, but because of how Christians engaged with it. One pastor posted his concern about the Christian outrage and vehement rhetoric. It went viral. The comments railed against him were harsh, to have more confidence in calling sin "sin" and confronting the evil in the world, that he was sinning by approving of sin. Here's the thing: those comments are evil and sinful. That pastor did call out sin and sinners wouldn't have it. Such reactions reflect a Christian's inability to address their lack of love, faith, and hope, revealing their unaddressed sins. The demand to throw the first stone, I'm sorry people, is a sin. If you're holding a rock in your hand (or have just thrown one), you can't walk away from Jesus without your name written in the sand.

The problem is that America doesn't understand Nietzsche—we understand what the American church has taught about their feelings about what Nietzsche said. Christians teach Nietzsche as a threat, that he was trying to kill God. I remember hearing about

What kind of person do you think she was? For many, she was a promiscuous woman who had been shunned by her community. For much of church history, this is how she has been taught: a woman whose sexual escapades had been exposed in the public spotlight. This is how I had been taught my whole life, from middle school Sunday school lessons through bible college courses. I've heard it preached this way in 2024. You will find no shortage of commentaries and blog posts affirming this conclusion
- [Faith Redefined & The Evangelical Disconnect](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/faith-redefined-the-evangelical-disconnect-2024/07) - Faith is a pivotal point in Evangelicalism. Recently, I was working on a client website, an Evangelical organization I have personal experience with from my time as a pastor. In one of their documents, they discussed their purpose as helping people grow in Jesus and share "God's saving grace with those who don't know Him."

Was Trump's assassination attempt divinely prevented? Not in the way American Protestant heretics are claiming. Nero and Cyrus could have both made such claims while Jesus was killed by a government that wasn't of his Kingdom. According to our scriptures, other scriptures, philosophy, and reality, sure, we could say God providentially

I had a much longer draft on this post-debate, but then Saturday's shooting happened. Someone was murdered because of our politics, and it could have been worse. Let's also acknowledge that more ugliness can happen. But why? How did we get here? What is wrong with us? Are you happy with
- [Rediscovering the Matriarch: Sarah's Legacy](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/rediscovering-the-matriarch-sarahs-legacy-2024/07) - We humans love simplicity. We reduce intricate complexities to black and white, ignoring the intricate complexities of nature and reducing the supernatural to a set of rules that would make a great board game. We do the same thing with the Bible - we paint over the whole with whatever flavor we wish to taste. The joint nature of Abraham's blessing often escapes notice. We often let Sarah play a background role in Abraham's story. But God didn't relegate her to the sidelines. He told Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. I will bless her, and moreover, I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall become nations; kings of peoples shall come from her" (Genesis 17:15-16). The promise was for both. Also, God told Abraham that he could not call him "my" princess anymore. She is a princess, with or without Abraham.
- [An Evangelical Intervention: When Patriotism Becomes Idolatry](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/an-evangelical-intervention-when-patriotism-becomes-idolatry-2024/07) - There's a dissonance, a discordant note that cannot be ignored. It's skewed, and ripe for manipulation and exploitation. Perhaps it feels comfortable, a familiar battle cry that resonates within your echo chambers. But if it incites anger and shuts down genuine dialogue, if it echoes the same primal sins that have plagued humanity since Cain and Abel, then it's demonstrably not the Gospel Jesus preached. It's precisely this distorted gospel that's hemorrhaging members from churches across the nation. It's the reason a new generation, the "Exvangelicals" and "Deconstructionists" you readily dismiss, are walking away. They're the fruit of a poisonous tree, a movement born out of disillusionment and a desperate yearning for authenticity. They are a living testament to the corrosive effects of a gospel that has lost its way.
- [Beyond John 3:16: The Serpent In Redemption](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/beyond-john-316-the-serpent-in-redemption-2024/07) - John 3:16 often feels like a cliché, plastered on billboards and game signs, stripped of its profound meaning. But let's shift our focus to the verses just before it, where Jesus draws a parallel between Himself and the serpent Moses lifted in the wilderness. This imagery is not just historical or theological; it’s deeply personal. We, like the Israelites, grumble and turn against each other, becoming snakes in our impatience and selfishness. The serpent on the pole wasn’t just a divine solution; it was a mirror, forcing them to confront their sin and shame. Similarly, when we look at Jesus lifted on the cross, we’re invited to face our darkest selves, recognize our capacity for both harm and good, and embrace the transformative power of love and redemption.
- [Love Thy Neighbor, Not Thy Cause:Examining The Rainbow’s Genesis](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/love-thy-neighbor-not-thy-causeexamining-the-rainbows-genesis-2024/06) - PRIDE Month is that time of year when rainbow flags are everywhere. On the interwebs, repeated posts from our Christian brothers and sisters appeared discussing the merits of LGBTQ's choice of rainbow. Here are a few examples: Let's explore the idea: Not the idea that something in creation shouldn't be used as a symbol by
- [A Widow's Two Mites on Perspective & End Times](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/a-widows-two-mites-on-perspective-end-times-2024/06) - We may be tempted to embellish the story or to assume we know how it ends. Neither Mark nor Luke lets us have the pleasure. Once Jesus talks about her, she doesn't show up again. Jesus doesn't say that her rent will be provided, will have food the next day, or that her unspoken health condition will be healed. There is no promise. A poor widow, in that time and society, gave the last coins she had and left with no answers.
- [Jacob's Legacy: Fatherhood, Faith, And Forgiveness](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/jacobs-legacy-fatherhood-faith-and-forgiveness-2024/06) - Jacob's family has drama and issues. We can forget that these stories are about humans and that it was messy and not so cleanly scripted as we read them. Jacob was selfish and his family was a crap show. When his favorite son falls prey to the children Jacob fathered, Jacob's lifelong pursuit has born its fruit. He now swam in the wake of the mess he made.
- [Avoiding Change: Why We Don't Believe People Can](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/avoiding-change-why-we-dont-believe-people-can-2024/06) - In a last post on faith, I mentioned that I love Ted Lasso. Allow me to show some more of that love. In the previous seasons, Roy Kent, a quiet, gruff man, has been trying to change. He finally comes out to his group of men and asks for advice. It's a big moment for
- [Egongelicalism #1: The Clash of Ego in Evangelicalism](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/egongelicalism-1-the-clash-of-ego-and-evangelicalism-2024/06) - The work of creating an image of myself who already exists, the work of trying to push that up and out while keeping the real me hidden and safe inside, and the work of dealing with communication breakdowns so I can filter Reality for the sake of my Ego is exhausting and unsustainable. From Genesis 1-3 through the Gospels and to Revelation, Ego is humanity’s issue. Jesus's Gospel was clearly an invitation to kill our egos and do the opposite—love.
- [Beyond "Just Don't Lie" – Authentic Acceptance & Why Mantras Matter](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/beyond-just-dont-lie-towards-authentic-acceptance-amp-why-mantras-matter-2024/06) - Now "Just don't lie" is about me not lying to myself and accepting reality as it is. It's been getting down to levels of not letting myself be distracted or hide behind convenient circumstances. It's also helped me talk about the good side, the good in reality, and me. It's not like any of us are entirely bad or even mostly. I can fixate and inflate my insecurities and ego quickly beyond what is real. The inverse is also true—I can avoid and minimize my insecurities so they disappear from notice. "Just Don't Lie" is about being as I am right now and allowing reality to be as it is.
- [Let's Talk Faith: Living Beyond Church Compliance](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/lets-talk-faith-living-beyond-church-compliance-2024/05) - Faith is not an acknowledgment of truth or trusting in an eternal destination. It's much simpler. Faith is about this world and now. It's the story you decide to write. It's holding to a narrative and acting in such a way as if it were already true. Faith is messy because it head-on crashes into our current narrative. It’s choosing to let go of the ego, reacting differently, and living faithfully in daily moments. As Ted Lasso says, 'Belief doesn’t happen just because you put it on a wall.' Faith is about living in love and goodness, committing to a way of life that changes the narrative for ourselves and those around us.
- [Savior In Chief - Almighty Trump](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/savior-in-chief-almighty-trump-2024/05) - It won't take reading many of my posts before figuring out I'm not a supporter of Trump - I wasn't during his first election. Even more so now. This image was created for a post on 1 John, love, and what it means to be "antichrist" in the context of John's epistles. The first graphic
- [We Could Be AntiChrist: The Real Antichrists in John's Epistles](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/we-could-be-antichrist-the-real-antichrists-in-johns-epistles-2024/05) - Let's consider how our fascination with finding antichrists assumes that we aren't one. Christianity has been around now for 2000 years - that's a lot of generations of humans. What if we have been in the church and in the gospel of an antichrist the whole time? What if we are "the antichrist"? What if we've been looking at the Gospel wrong all along? The Gospel then might seem, to us antichrists, as a wrong gospel.
- [A Tale of Two Paths: Blessing and Curse in Genesis](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/a-tale-of-two-paths-blessing-and-curse-in-genesis-2024/05) - The book of Genesis opens with a beautiful image: God creating the world, declaring it "good," and showering it with blessings. But beneath the surface of this paradise lurks another theme: the curse. From the moment Adam and Eve's eyes are opened, humanity's relationship with both blessing and curse unfolds. It keeps playing through out Genesis until chapter 50.
- [Faith Doesn't Matter: The Implications of 1 Corinthians 13](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/faith-doesnt-matter-the-implications-of-1-corinthians-13-2024/05) - Love is greater than faith. In the Christian realm of systematic theology, this could shake people to their existential core. Paul had no problem voicing Love matters more in every way that matters than Faith. It's the same thing he said in the opening verses: if you have faith but not love, you're nothing and gain nothing. James' stance on good work equaling faith is basically the same concept: real faith produces good works (all examples "loving" people) or else that faith is dead.
- [Living Truth in Love: A Radical Call From Ephesians 4](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/living-truth-in-love-a-radical-call-from-ephesians-4-2024/05) - Being "true" is a whole different thing than just speaking truthfully. We can choose what we will be truthful about and ignore the rest. We can defend and justify ourselves almost without ever a thought. Speaking truthfully is hard without letting our twisted perceptions mess with our words. Speaking truthfully in love feels sometimes humanly impossible. Being true in love…well, ok...that is not just a check box or a step - it's an ideal and a complete way of living and thinking.
- [Trying Writing Right This Time](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/trying-writing-right-this-time-2024/04) - What's changed is me, finally. I'm not done yet, but there's been an embarrassing amount of issues, from minor to deep hidden, that just aren't the same anymore. When I finally learn something, I tend to learn it. It's all or nothing with me often. The writing was held back before by too many insecurities and dysfunctions. I am ready for something different. It's arrived, and now I feel like I've bitten off more than I can chew.
- [Good & Bad Figs: Is Our Faith Rotten?](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/good-bad-figs-is-our-faith-rotten-2024/04) - God seems a lot less concerned with a nation's status and reputation in the world than we are. God doesn't see nations as set realities. They, like clouds, exist from the ones before and will be recycled. Nations come and go but God wants the heart of people. Later, He would intentionally drive Nebuchadnezzar crazy just to teach him that human kingdoms are delusional. The Apostles still thought Jesus was going to "restore the kingdom to Israel" (Acts 1:6) after his resurrection. God has been up to something much bigger for a lot longer. His actual Kingdom is "not of this world" (John 17:16).
- [Shedding Layers: My Journey of Deconstruction Here](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/shedding-layers-my-journey-of-deconstruction-here-2024/04) - The lead-up to Easter was a whirlwind of emotions. Layers of insecurity peeled back, revealing a raw sense of self. It was both terrifying and exhilarating. Sobriety had brought progress, but purpose remained elusive. I was deconstructing the "me" I thought I was, desperately searching for the "me" I was meant to be. Fear, especially the fear of what others thought, had long been a snare. But as I surrendered to a higher power and embraced the true Gospel message, a newfound peace settled in. It wasn't about escaping the storm, but learning to navigate it with a more open heart. "Egongelical" – that's the word I came up with to describe this new faith journey, one that integrates psychology, mindset, and a healthy understanding of self with the core tenets of Christianity.
- [An Abridged Sobriety Journey: Dealing with my inner children](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/an-abridged-sobriety-journey-dealing-with-my-inner-children-2024/04) - I tore myself, humans, and gods apart looking for answers to get a handle on myself. I got some 2 and a half years ago. I kept flailing for a while, picking things up along the way. I wasn't a small ship. I was a freight liner. Changing directions makes its own waves.
- [Unmasking Love: Beyond the Facade of Validation](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/unmasking-love-beyond-the-facade-of-validation-2024/04) - Genesis 2:25 tells us humanity was "naked" and "unashamed." That's right before the serpent messed up our narratives. When Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, they saw themselves differently. Shame showed up, and everything changed. It makes sense, then, that whatever God would do to fix the world would involve dealing with that shame. Shame gets in the way of love for us humans.
- [UnBabeling The Tower of Babel - Redemption World Politics](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/unbabeling-the-tower-of-babel-redemption-world-politics-2015/12) - Originally written in 2015The Tower of Babel is an epic story of the global separation of people and it is contained in only nine verses of the biblical text. I have been chewing on it for several months since I last taught it at my youth ministry, specifically on the implications of technological development across languages. I will be leaning

Sometimes they add a qualifier to the end, such as, "...saved by grace" or "...in need of a Savior." On the surface, it sounds pious and humble. Such sayings are often innocent attempts at being accepting of each other's flaws
- [East of God](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/east-of-god-2015/12) - *Re-post from December of 2015, text unedited.If you pay close attention as you read through the first chunk of Genesis, you will notice a directional movement of people. When Adam and Eve are exiled from Eden, they go east (Genesis 3:24). Then Cain wanders east (Genesis 4:16). Later, God brings Noah back west when He
- [As a slave his master](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/as-a-slave-his-master-2015/11) - I find the time we live in intriguing...on multiple levels, but allow me to select one of these to dissect. In our time, the resounding cries for social justice, the avid support of non-profits, our lofty respect of volunteerism, and the aroma of eagerness from companies to slap "Fair Trade" or to use cancer research
- [Likes Don't Last: My Social Media Detox and Recovery Back](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/likes-dont-last-my-social-media-detox-and-recovery-back-2024/04) - A lot has changed. A lot. My beliefs, personality, practices, habits, etc. A lot has not changed. My beliefs, personality, practices, habits, etc.What had started as a retreat to deal with insecurities became a journey back to find my actual voice and to put out into practice what I only had been working on in "here". Shame was a part of it, again. Fear of disapproval, what people might think of me as compared to who I was, their judgments of my recovery, and harder ones had to be reprocessed.
- [To Be Our Kids: Facing My Reflections and Shame](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/to-be-our-kids-facing-my-reflections-and-shame-2024/04) - When we're all born and conceived even, we know nothing but the world we are being brought into. The world already existed. Your terrestrial experience began as a thing that was brought into the world of other humans. You are your parents' child - it's a fact you can never get away from. No matter what I say or think, the role of the parent in my life was the only connection I had in the world I was brought into. It is where your story starts.
- [Evangelicals' Trump-Sized Plank - The American Church and Its Republican Gospel](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/evangelicals-trump-sized-plank-the-american-church-and-its-republican-gospel-2024/04) - Your "god" isn't what you spout - it's your church name, comfort, and control. Your Jesus is Pilate and Nebuchadnezzar - You chose Barrabas and killed God. You ignore the prophetic warnings from God to His people about this that are for you so you can preach what you want to others. Hypocrisy, one-sided expectations, and an ornate and intricate manmade system have replaced Jesus' Gospel. Your systematic theologies are born from men and what is on God's mind. You force right answers into wrong questions. You are the abuser and the people abused. You're Trump expecting God to be chill with you putting words in His mouth. He isn't. Trump will fall, just like Nero.
- [What "is Finished?" - A Look Beyond the Traditional Interpretation](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/what-is-finished-a-look-beyond-the-traditional-interpretation-2024/03) - What if We've Been Preaching "It is Finished" Wrong? Here is a thought: Jesus' last statement is more about what is already in the Gospel of John than it is what our 2000 years of theologizing over 3 words.
- [A Reluctant Journal Convert: An Unexpected Gift](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/a-reluctant-journal-convert-an-unexpected-gift-2024/03) - The act of translating thoughts into written words is a surprisingly mindful process. It forces me to choose language, consider structure, and reflect on my handwriting. Seeing my thoughts laid bare is a powerful tool for self-discovery. Sometimes, rereading entries reveals inaccuracies or forgotten details. Journaling helps me adjust my thinking patterns and develop healthier self-talk.
- [Don't let your left hand know - Beyond Show](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/dont-let-your-left-hand-know-beyond-show-2024/03) - Do your deeds secretly, say your prayers in secret, and fast in secret. Ensure that you take steps so your intent doesn't become something else. I pray for things or might do a good thing but the intent behind it was selfish, for my security and significance. When I mix up the purpose of prayer, giving, or fasting, I'm turning it into an echo chamber of self-worship. I can't see anything else but me in everything else. So, make sure I take steps so other people won't know.
- [Voices in My Head - Learning to Talk to Myself](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/voices-in-my-head-learning-to-talk-to-myself-2024/03) - "What do you feel when you're talking to yourself?", they answered without hesitation "Guilt." That guilt and shame about talking to ourselves actually keep us in the same patterns and thinking the same thoughts that produce the behavior that produces the life we wish would be different than it was. And I am so good at it.
- [Getting Out & In A Church I Don't Believe In](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/getting-out-in-the-church-i-dont-believe-in-2024/03) - I was not where I thought I should be for the journey I was on – things had to change again. One of the areas in the category of "Things That Have To Change" was my public posture and putting my voice back out there, taking risks, more relationships, and doing some of the things I love to do but don't have an outlet for, Drunk Pastor being a part of that. Going to churches and figuring out how to engage with people on spiritual and theological matters again is another part of it.
- [God of The Unknown - Embracing Uncertainity](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/god-of-the-unknown-embracing-uncertainity-2021/04) - God's intervention in history and life is not necessarily through frequent, direct, or dramatic means but rather almost like He stitches and weaves a thread with a few pregnant moments when He reaches in. It is because He writes a redemptive narrative through the almost unnoticeable peculiarities that peculiarities are to be found on every

It was a Saturday. The morning started around 4 am with me staring at the ceiling of the Neurobehavioral Inpatient as a suicide risk. They also needed to detox me down from a .406 BAC for a few days. One of those nights, the haggled few of us with
- [Shrewd as Serpents...learning to be innocent](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/shrewd-as-serpents-2024/03) - Jesus was, in essence, teaching his apostles to be like "that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world" (Revelation 12:9). The catch is that we have to be that while being "innocent as doves."
- [Navigating the Abyss: Embracing Chaos, Discovering Order](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/navigating-the-abyss-embracing-chaos-discovering-order-2024/02) - “I say unto you: one must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star. I say unto you: you still have chaos in yourselves.” Nietzche In those moments when we find ourselves alone in the storm of existence, panic and confusion set in. It's the awareness of our

I at least suck moderately less at it now. Starting almost two and a half years ago, I finally learned how to lean into myself. I thought, then, that I had learned an exclusive and unique skill,

## Categories

- [Biblical And Theological](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/category/biblical-and-theological) - Let’s get into the meat of it—where faith, scripture, and theology meet real life. This is where we explore the Bible in ways that are raw, challenging, and far from tidy. Expect questions that don’t come with easy answers and theology that wrestles with both the head and the heart. If you’re tired of cookie-cutter sermons and want to dig deeper into what faith looks like in the trenches, you’re in the right place.
- [Personal & Recovery](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/category/personal-and-recovery) - This category gets real about the struggles of life, relationships, and recovery. Expect honest reflections, laced with humor, about the challenges of living a life this side of sobriety. We’ll explore the ups and downs of recovery, wherever the heck I’m at in life, and what is currently on my mind. No sugar-coating here, just the messy journey, the hope, and the pursuit of a little more peace (and maybe less spilled wine).
- [Social And Political](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/category/social-and-political) - Let’s talk about the messy intersections of faith, society, and politics. These aren’t soundbites or easy answers—they’re hard conversations about justice, culture, and the systems that shape us. It’s not about picking sides but about living authentically and intentionally in the tension. Bring your questions, your doubts, and your courage.
- [Church](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/category/church) - The church is complicated. It’s beautiful and broken, messy and meaningful, and often doesn’t live up to its calling. Here, we peel back the layers of tradition, culture, and doctrine to talk honestly about what’s working, what’s not, and where we go from here. Whether you’re hanging on by a thread or already out the door, this space is for grappling with faith community and what it really means to be the body of Christ.
- [Uncategorized And Random](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/category/uncategorized) - Not everything fits neatly into a box, and that’s okay. This is the catch-all for thoughts, ideas, and stories that need a space to breathe. It’s the wildcard section—a little messy, a little unpredictable, and completely honest. Because sometimes, life doesn’t come with a category.
- [Philosophical and Psychological](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/category/philosophical-and-psychological) - Faith doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It collides with philosophy, psychology, and the big questions of existence. This is where we explore the inner workings of the mind and the soul, asking how ancient wisdom and modern thought can shed light on who we are and how we live. Whether it’s stoicism, existentialism, or the science of mental health, we’re not afraid to dive deep.
- [Gospel of John](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/category/gospel-of-john) - The Gospel of John offers a unique and profound look at the life and ministry of Jesus, diving deep into themes of identity, purpose, and connection with God. On Drunk Pastor, this category explores John’s Gospel not just as a theological text but as a story that meets us in our humanity—our doubts, struggles, and search for meaning. Here, we’ll break down the rich symbolism, the intimate encounters between Jesus and individuals, and the overarching message of hope, grace, and truth. Whether you’re grappling with questions of faith, wrestling with addiction, or simply looking for a fresh perspective, these posts aim to connect the timeless words of John with the raw realities of life. Join me as we reflect on how this Gospel speaks to our authenticity, challenges our assumptions, and calls us to a deeper understanding of ourselves and God. Let’s get real about faith, grace, and what it means to live out this story in a messy, complicated world.
- [Patreon Posts](https://drunkpastor.com/blog/category/patreon-posts) - Exclusive to our Patreon supporters, this category provides access to premium content, including advanced theological discussions, philosophical musings, and personal reflections on faith and recovery. Subscribers gain deeper insights into the Drunk Pastor’s journey and the ongoing conversation surrounding Christianity and addiction recovery.
