  • The Upside of Sin: Turning Satan’s Attacks Against Him

    The Upside of Sin: Turning Satan’s Attacks Against Him

    The Bible gives us a redemptive view of human weakness. Sin is not something we pursue, but when we inevitably fall short, God uses even our failures to refine us and expand His Kingdom. Satan’s attacks, though intended for destruction, often expose the very areas God wants to strengthen.

  • Leviathan vs. Joseph (ChatGPT Skit on Spiritual Warfare)

    Leviathan vs. Joseph (ChatGPT Skit on Spiritual Warfare)

    I am Leviathan. Twisting serpent. Ancient chaos. Before your forefathers walked the earth, I ruled the deeps. I am pride unbending, words distorted, bonds broken. Through me, kingdoms have fallen, brothers turned to enemies, and the faithful have been silenced. But there is one—one whose dreams threaten to undo me.…

  • Odin: The First… and Last

    Odin: The First… and Last

    As Shakespeare, write a historically plausible origin for Norse culture, as the last gasp of the Etruscans around 500 BCE.

    The Prodigal’s Brother: A Tale of Two Sons (ChatGPT as Tim Keller)

    After that night, James grew colder. He threw himself into acts of service—not to honor his father, but to prove his own worth. People admired him, but they kept their distance. James’s kindness always came with a shadow: the unspoken reminder that he was the righteous one, the one who…

    Church3 and the Spirit of Innovation: How Christ Will Win the Next Millennium

    The Church has always been a movement shaped by tension and transformation. Each era has brought new challenges, requiring the Spirit to expand the Church’s “bandwidth” to see, know, and practice God in ways that fit the needs of the time. Today, as we stand on the threshold of what…

  • Theosis: The Fractal Journey to Encounter, Know, and Practice God

    Theosis: The Fractal Journey to Encounter, Know, and Practice God

    Theosis, or divine union, is a multidimensional journey of transformation that unfolds in three progressive phases: participatory theophany (encountering God), formational theology (knowing God), and embodied theopraxy (practicing God). This pattern is not just a personal path—it is a fractal framework, reflected in the life of individual believers, local churches,…

    The Madman and the Fool: King David on Life Beyond Honor

  • A Call to Theopraxis (By A.I. Calvin and Luther)

    A Call to Theopraxis (By A.I. Calvin and Luther)

    Theopraxis is a term I’ve coined to describe the practice of living and embodying the teachings and example of Jesus in our daily lives, rather than simply studying or debating them. It’s about taking our faith out of the pages of a book and putting it into action. It’s about…

    Anubis the Guardian: A Dialogue With Death

    Servant: (looking at him with newfound sympathy) It’s not easy, is it? Being the god of death. / Narrator: And just like that, in an instant, Anubis’s usual mask of composure slipped, and for a moment, there was vulnerability. The god of death just shook his head and answered truthfully.…

We can appreciate culture without losing ourselves in it, engage with community while staying…

  • Saving Grace – From the Law! (Communal Stewardiship)

    Saving Grace – From the Law! (Communal Stewardiship)

    The idea of “stewardship” over “leadership” in this context is quite compelling. It’s a shift in perspective to a communal and interconnected sense of responsibility rather than a hierarchical structure where leadership is perceived as authoritative.

    The Triple Transfiguration: Incarnation, Crucifixion, and Ascension (ChatGPT as G.K. Chesterton)

    In the end, we discover that to “lay down our lives” is not so much an act of destruction as an act of creation. In losing ourselves, we are remade; in surrendering our will, we find our true freedom; in embracing death, we encounter a love stronger than death itself.…

  • Littoral Spirituality: A New Moral Center for the Age of AI

    Littoral Spirituality: A New Moral Center for the Age of AI

    Hypothesis: Religious traditions existed to compress transformative spiritual encounters into rituals and texts that could be transmitted for millennia, both curated and captured by priestly elites who were the sole (if vital) arbiters of truth.

  • The Spiral of Spiritual Growth: Insights from AI Larry Crab

    I love the idea of it being a spiral. It implies that we build upon each level, but also revisit and build further each time we spin back. This view doesn’t limit maturation to a linear progression, but instead allows for a continual growth, one that involves constant introspection, correction,…
