What If I’m Just Doing This On My Own?
Field Note, April 17, 2025 A question creeps in sometimes. It usually happens when I’m quiet and alone. I’m often staring at a half-finished essay or rereading what is already written.

Field Notes from My Journey
Not every insight comes as a fully developed essay. Some arrive mid-step. They come quietly, personally, and sometimes uncomfortably. This happens as I walk with God and try to make sense of what He’s teaching me.

What If the First Step Is Unlearning?
Field Note: April 6, 2025 I used to think the hardest part of following Jesus was learning what He wanted from me. Turns out, it’s unlearning what I thought I already knew. Admitting this is uncomfortable. Most of what I believed early on about God, faith, and discipleship did not come through study or Scripture.…
