Not Made of Things That Appear
The writings
The founding library, read by the question each piece answers for the Fellowship. Argue with any of it; a claim that cannot survive being argued with is dropped, not defended.
I Believe in You
What faith was before we broke the word
In the Name (The Ambassador)
The phrase we turned into a password
The Sheep in the Basement
The church built a program to save its lost children, took His name off the door, and it did what the pews could not
The Highest Peak
You do not have to be a Christian to follow Jesus.
In Vain
Vain means empty. So is the self you did it for.
For the Love of Dogs
What a frightened dog taught me about the fear of God
Jealous of a Calf
On the fear of God, and the room where it was said.
The Kingdom That Isn't
What Jesus actually does with a demon.
The Way Home Is Down
The problem was never the ledger. It was the gavel.
Both Ends of the Leash
There is a careful body of knowledge about living with an intelligent animal who cannot be reasoned with. Almost none of it resembles what we were taught about God.
Nobody Crosses on Evidence
Not because the evidence is weak. Because the crossing is a change in who is arguing. What opened at the cross was a way, not a place — and the fight you have never backed down from may already be over.
The Novelist DM
You are not the author. That is the good news.
The Knowledge of Good and Evil
A last meal, the first tree, and why the line between good and evil is the thing that keeps us from Jesus
The Mask Comes Off Last
No test tells you whether a word is God's. One tells you where you would be acting from, and the rest is known only afterward.
None but He and I
The Fountain and the Cistern
An idol is not a false god. It is an arrested one.
The Life Is Not in the Book
I heard the music before I could read a word of it.
Secondhand
He didn't lose an argument with God. He handed the question to somebody else.
Not Yet
An affliction you cannot confess to a peer becomes a theory about everyone.
Son of Joseph
Why the list nobody reads argues against the doctrine printed beside it.
The Author Is Not a Character
Two of Islam's three denials guard the gospel's own first premise. The third is where the road forks.
Krishna Is Not Christ
But the devotion is one
The Freedom to Walk Away
God didn't make us prisoners and call it love.
The Distance That Love Needs
Why we are separate enough to love God.
They/Them
The Pronoun as Iconoclasm
A Mother Bird Over the Deep
The pronoun in your Bible for the Holy Spirit is a Latin noun-ending, and nobody ever chose it.
Flow
The best work I do isn't mine.
The Hollow Flute (How to Be Loved)
I spent years manufacturing what was already there.
Nothing to Get
Love is not acquired.
The Machine You Expect
What you bring is what shows up.
Where the Timelines Agree
You cannot feel the fork and you cannot steer between histories. What survives is not the route that scores highest — it is the one its neighbors agree with, and someone has already walked it.
What Was Already There
What Holds You Here
Rising After Falls
The practice is not staying. The practice is the return.
