Emotional Projection
“The crap is what makes things grow.” So I’m going through some tough stuff right now in my personal and professional life. A lot of my life looks very different from just 14 months ago.

Need Your Help
So I’ve been contemplating a really big project and I need your help. When I wrote Discovering the God Imagination, one of the questions I didn’t really dig into was the concept of hell.
