Telling the good, the bad, and the ugly truth about Christianity as I see it.

From Groaning to Glory: Hope in Times of Suffering & Loss
In this message, preached in the wake of a sudden personal loss, we sit honestly with what it means to not know how to pray, and we listen for what Paul says is happening underneath our silence: the Spirit interceding for us with groanings too deep for words. From Solomon's ancient prayer for wisdom to the modern ache of doomscrolling through a world that feels like it's coming apart, this sermon traces the distance between our confusion and God's confident promises to never leave us nor forsake us, and to work all things out for our good. (Sermon Preached at New Hope Presbyterian Church, Gastonia NC, 07/26/2026).

I Finally Stopped Fighting the Voice in My Head
What if the “voice in your head” isn’t something to silence, but something to understand? What about all the voices in our heads? How can we discern our inner voice from all the other voices we hear? In this conversation, we explore the tension between inner chaos and inner clarity, the difference between overthinking and intuition, and what it might mean to hear God’s voice outside the pressure of religion. Steven returns to the podcast to share his journey of leaving religion, questioning everything, and slowly reconnecting with a quieter, more grounded sense of guidance that didn’t demand certainty or perfection. Along the way, we talk about silence, story, mental health, prayer, and the practice of being still and listening. This isn’t about having the right answers. It’s about learning to stop fighting the voice within and discovering how life changes when you finally do.

Psychedelic Experiences Brought Me Back To God Part 1
Steven Eudy has been my friend for many years. We met each other through a mutual friend, who you will hear about in this episode, who was a Pentecostal pastor, friend, and colleague of mine. He felt Steven and I were kindred spirits. He was right. Steven and I have been through a lot of life changes over the years, including changes in the way we relate to our very Pentecostal childhoods.
Steven is an entrepreneur, musician, and thinker—which makes him a great conversation partner on this podcast. In 2024, he lost his home and more when Hurricane Helene tore through the mountains of North Carolina, leaving mounds of destruction in its wake. Yet, he has continued to grow in his career and maintain his guitar store, The Guitar Trader (https://theguitartrader.com/), in West Asheville.
A couple of weeks ago, he messaged me and said, “I had a moment of what I believe was clarity and I have decided to re-embrace Christianity… on a 90-day free trial basis… I think it would probably make a good podcast episode.” We did not talk again until this recording. Here, Steven tells his story of faith, psychedelics, leaving church, ketamine treatments, and finding God.
