What began as a passion project—a way to wrestle with the chaos in my head—has grown into a bona fide platform. Over the past year, Drunk Pastor has shifted from a personal outlet to an authoritative online resource. By forging connections with Christian bloggers and websites since Fall 2024, traffic has surged, and the site now delivers genuine biblical answers—addressing questions like “What is a heresy?” or “What does John 14:6 mean?”—that cut through the pseudo-academic spin of American Jesusanity. With a foundation built on Scripture, logic, and intentional SEO and development, Drunk Pastor is steadily influencing online conversations.
Guest Contributions & Collaborative Projects
- Progressive Christianity Guest Post: A two-part series offering fresh perspectives. The first part tackles the impossible task of taming our tongues; the second part continues the conversation.
- Braided Way: Following the piece on Christian mysticism and using the Bible with “magic,” a second installment is in the works.
- Church Anew: A review of a piece on Agape from the standpoint of theology and academics.
- Restorative Faith: An upcoming exploration of the potential influence of psychedelics on the Corinthian church—stay tuned.
Bible in Context Class
I’ve paused the Bible in Context class for now. The current location, though free, isn’t ideal, and attendance has dipped. I’m also focused on wrapping up some pressing work projects. When I secure a better space, the class will resume—covering Genesis with its historical and cultural context (and connecting it to John’s writings) without a preset orthodoxy. Expect this content on Patreon first, with a later push to YouTube.
More Writing
Last summer, The Immortality Key became a turning point in my Christian perspective—it’s a book that’s been a constant on my desk, challenging my views on ancient spirituality and modern nihilism. Months before that, I finally began working on a book about the Samaritan Woman at the Well—a project that’s been in my mind since a New Year’s Resolution over a decade ago. What started as a rough outline has transformed into a series of blog posts where layers of philosophy and theology continuously unfold. This isn’t just another academic exercise; it’s an evolving dialogue that wrestles with redemption, shame, and transformation in our contemporary world.
For 2025, I’m planning to expand the Drunk Pastor brand into tangible products. Expect to see merchandise ranging from apparel and stickers to printed materials and even Christian tarot cards. This direct-to-print venture is more than a side project—it’s a way to extend the Drunk Pastor ethos into everyday life.
Every Human’s Journey (EHJ): A Return to My Roots
Every Human’s Journey is the flagship project under Stigma Marketing & Development. It began as a random idea while I was working on healthy masculinity and individual process work. Same desk. Same screen. Different headspace.
Ideas from AA, ASAM, and relational discipleship merged together. The hardest part was launching the first beta group, but we did it—and closed the debrief in late 2024.
Now, Dr. Schweitzer, LMSW, and my stepdad, is on board. We’ve applied CBT principles, developed two original assessments, improved the curriculum, and are finalizing a full workbook. Our next step is test groups—which will begin the evidence-based foundation. Next is a journal and a bunch of more plans.
EHJ has been described as an awakening group, and I’m okay with that. It’s not religious, but it’s not secular either. It’s a language, a reference frame, and a self-guided journey. For Christians, it’s easy to see the Hero’s Journey and the Gospel woven together.
