Hi there, fellow seeker.

My friend Stevie once told me that I was going to be the one who convinced her to go back to church. It’s not the first time I’ve heard this from a friend. Or the second.

Please know this: My project is not meant to get you back to church. Or to church for the first time. It’s not meant to make you do or think or act in any particular way regarding church at all.

I’m much more interested in how much people need to find and make meaning in this life, but how the institutions—like church—that once helped generations of people do that (for better or for worse) are in decline, gone, untrustworthy, harmful, etc.

I am interested in the places and moments and people where something sacred, what I call the divine, is revealed and experienced. And more than anything, I want people to find those places and moments and people and engage with them and be transformed by them. Over and over and over. For me, that’s church. But it might not be that for you, and not only am I OK with that, I’m thrilled to know that you know that about yourself. Because that’s a start for finding what does help you find things sacred and holy in your life.

I have so much more to say about this, but for now, let me just say, welcome.
