The homosexual and the evangelical Christian

My experience with non-affirming evangelical sexuality discourse — I’d like to set down some of my thoughts on homosexuality and the place where I find myself in light of non-affirming Christian thought and theology.

I don’t know what my voice is on Medium

I have enjoyed writing using this platform we know as Medium. I have achieved a similar experience using open source software that I can monetize if I was so motivated, but I opted to trust Medium and its audience instead of commit to the work required to market a business…

Christian, you are not loving

A brief reflection on conversations with Christians — There’s a problem with the way some Christians talk to members of the LGBTQ+ community. “I love you so I’m going to tell you the truth” is a manipulative platitude Christians often use to frame their attempts to correct someone else. I recently had a conversation with a Christian friend…

A brief reminder for technical writing

Know your audience — I recently found a note in an old notebook for work and it was from just before the bottom fell out of society in the naïve days of the fall of 2019. There was so much I was excited about then which has all been panned (or “on hold” indefinitely…

or What to Do with Your Time in College — This article was first published in the Mississippi College student newspaper THE COLLEGIAN in September 2013 Let’s begin with a quote from the old American comedian, W.

“How can you live alone?”
