About Me

Picture of Paul

It means the world to me that you're here. I write mostly to get out of my own head, and tend to focus on culture, faith, church hurt, and emotional and spiritual health.

I long to live an authentic life marked by faith, family, friendships, and joy. If what I write resonates with you and you choose to subscribe, I'd consider myself even more blessed. 😀
