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.

  • It’s Not About Salvation, It’s About Restoration

    So, What is Our Purpose? As I’ve been writing these early essays, something unexpected has come into focus. I’m not talking much—at least not directly—about salvation in the way I was taught. Not the familiar script: “We’re all born sinners, Jesus died for our sins, accept Him, and you’ll go to heaven.” The classic Roman…

  • When God Speaks, Everything Sings

    Field Note April 10, 2025 There’s a thread that runs quietly beneath all things. It’s not always heard, but it’s always there.

  • 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….

  • The Answer Hiding in Plain Sight

    Field Note April 6, 2025 For years, I assumed God’s plan was something deep, mysterious, and complicated—hidden behind layers of doctrine, theology, or prophetic symbolism. Something I’d only figure out if I studied enough, served enough, or just got old enough. But slowly, and maybe reluctantly, I started to notice something unsettling: what if it’s…

  • How A.I. Has Changed Everything For Me

    Field Note April 5, 2025 I have spent decades studying, outlining, mind-mapping, and writing about the biblical worldview. Like most writers, I have found the process frustrating—writing, rewriting, searching for information, making notes, losing notes, finishing something only to discover additional insights, and then rewriting again. And after all that, much of my work remained…

  • I Say I Want It—But Do I?

    Field Note — March 29, 2025 I’m looking for something more than just a place to go on Sunday. I want to be part of a fellowship of believers who are alive in Christ—people who burn with a love for God. People who wake up with a hunger to know Him more and a drive…
