More than a decade ago I walked straight into a mirage. A faith I found on my own suddenly became entangled in the faith of others and ever so slowly my own strands tying me to who I always knew, was so tethered that I found I had tied myself to man.

I’ve been promised the kingdom. Not in some far off future where my flesh lays six feet beneath the ground. But now. I had to ask myself why the kingdom felt so distant, unbearable and nothing like what was promised.

I walked away from everything I knew to find what I’ve always known. The following will be my own journey. A journey I hope you’ll feel inspired by. A journey, that perhaps you’ll decide you too need to be on.

I don’t proclaim to have the answers. In fact, I guarantee I will have more questions than answers. If I’m being honest, the questioning has always led me deeper into a spiritual journey than any man given answers.

I’m asked to dig deep into the spirit, not plant myself on earth. Digging myself up has been painful and isolating at times, but the kingdom is near.
