Field Note Archive

These aren’t essays or studies — they’re trail notes.

Some were scribbled in the middle of a spiritual thunderstorm.

Others were just thoughts that wouldn’t leave me alone until I wrote them down.

Not all of them will age well.

Some might only be helpful for a moment — and that moment may have passed.

Others might still be simmering with something true.

I’ve left them here not because they’re polished,

but because they’re part of the journey.

Mine… and maybe yours too.

  • Searching For The Biblical Worldview

    I’ve come to see that there are many Christian worldviews, but there can only be one biblical worldview. I hope what I’m sharing is pointing toward that distinction. Most worldviews are not built out of nothing. They usually begin with real observations about the world. People notice that reality exists, that patterns repeat, that cause…

  • When Sorrow Is Not Sin

    I need to be clear about something, because confusion here causes real harm. Depression and anxiety are often treated in Christian circles as spiritual failures, as if sorrow itself were evidence of sin, weak faith, or God’s displeasure. That idea does not come from the New Testament, and it does not survive careful reading of…

  • On Coincidences and God’s Care

I understand what people mean. God is sovereign. Nothing catches Him off guard. Our lives are not random or meaningless. All of that is true. But…

  • Who We Are Now

    One of the quiet sources of confusion among Christians is not a lack of Scripture, but a lack of clarity about who we are now. The New Testament does not describe believers as sinners trying harder. It describes us as new creations. The old has passed away. All has been made new. We have been…

  • A Better Resolution for the New Year

    I’ve made more New Year’s resolutions than I can count. Decades of them. And lately… not so many. Mostly because I never seem to keep the ones I make. But the older I get, the more I realize something important: that might actually be a good thing. Success in life isn’t found in being faithful…

  • Why Grace Still Feels So Hard to Believe

    Thinking about Santa and the whole “naughty or nice” routine stirred something in me again — something deeper than holiday folklore. It made me realize just how far we’ve drifted from the true meaning of grace. It’s human nature to want to fix what we break.And honestly, in most areas of life, that instinct is…
