God of the Mirrors
For every argument there is an underlying premise. A set of assumptions already held, invisibly framing how the argument is received. These frames act as boundaries, shaping what feels plausible, what feels persuasive, and what is dismissed before it is fully heard. Often these premises go unnoticed, undefined, and unchallenged. Presuppositions do much of the…

Love, Without Absolutes
There is a reason love so often becomes the final word. For Christians, for mystics, for those who speak of “spiritual truth” without quite knowing where to place it, love offers something uniquely consoling. It promises an essential coherence underlying the mess of things. It suggests that beneath suffering, contingency, and loss there is a…

Morality Without Cosmic Enforcement
When fear loosened its grip on how I made choices, I expected to feel lighter. For a long time, goodness had been tied to what would happen beyond this life. Actions mattered because something vast stood behind them. A cosmic seriousness made even the smallest choice feel charged with eternal significance. What I did in…

Holding The Sky Open
There is a particular discomfort that surfaces whenever the conversation drifts toward origins. Not just about the universe, but about anything that resists clean explanation. Where did this begin? What caused it? What stands underneath it all? The moment the trail of causes grows thin, many of us feel a quiet urgency to finish the…

Mary and the Repair of a Male-Centred Order
I have begun to wonder whether the story of Mary functions less as a liberation of women, and more as a repair of a theological order that never fully trusted them. Christian tradition often presents her as the answer to Eve, the figure through whom disorder is undone and harmony restored. But the narrative anxiety…

I Am The World
I was taught that God does not want parts of us. He wants all, or nothing at all. I believed that claim for most of my life. I admired it. It promised commitment. No half-measures. No selective obedience. Faith, if it was to mean anything, had to claim the whole person, otherwise it risked belief…

The Bible Is Inspiringly Uninspired
There are moments when reading the Bible honestly feels like an act of disobedience. Yes, sometimes the text says something offensive or archaic, but the deeper disturbance often comes from somewhere else. From the way certain questions refuse to be wrangled into surrender. From passages that will not submit to the theological boundaries we place…

Not All Churches
I have a rule I make very few exceptions for. Don’t debate on social media. Ideas matter. But online, what rarely does is the way they are handled. Most exchanges are performances. Positions are staked, identities signalled, and lines drawn. The aim is seldom understanding. It is recognition. Applause. Survival. Social media rewards vociferousness without…

Defenders of The Faith
Recently, a friend posted in the group chat and asked if anyone could recommend any good books on Christian apologetics. It was a sincere question. There was no edge to it, just the familiar posture of someone who wants to think well about what they believe. It was the sort of question that once would…

God Doesn’t Care about Your Church
I’ve long felt uneasy with the way Christianity talks about itself. Not so much in what it says about God, but in how it decides who belongs, where truth is allowed to live, and how tightly it must be held to remain safe. Faith often begins with relief. A sense of having found something that…
