It's 10am on Saturday, December 31, in Santa Rosa, California. It's cold and dark and absolutely pouring outside. I'm still in my pajamas and sitting in my bed with my laptop and my coffee. Apple Music is shuffling through my Replay 2022 playlist, and I'm diving into...

It's #NationalComingOutDay, and every year I think about how I grateful I am to be on this side of the closet door. It's been over 6 years now since I decided to live in congruence with reality, and although I can't say that it's been all rainbows and unicorns, I've...

It's June 19, 2022, and I'm just now writing my annual Pride Month post. I know, I know... It's not like me, is it? I haven't even put the obligatory rainbow filter on my social media profile pictures! I guess it's just a different kind of Pride Month for me this...

I've spent much of my Saturday talking with Christian fundamentalists on Twitter who are telling me I can't be a gay Christian. This is nothing new. I've been having these conversations for over five years now, and I know that God has called me to this kind of...

It's become a tradition of mine to look back through my Instagram on New Year's Eve and reflect on the past twelve months. I did it two years ago as I was traveling to Fort Lauderdale for my first Q Christian Fellowship conference, and then I did it again last year,...

Before I started "Pray Away," the new Netflix documentary about conversion therapy, I dug out my journal from the fall of 2002. I had just come out to my wife and ministry colleagues that spring, and I had started Christian counseling to deal with my "broken"...

Alejandro and I watched the documentary Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher (available to rent on Amazon Prime Video for $1.99) a few weeks ago, and I can’t stop thinking about it.  Friends, the simple fact of the matter is that the Calvary Chapel and...
