Definitional Dancing I: Atheism

Words are fun things. Someone who can spin them together beautifully has earned my respect. I think of those like Ravi Zacharias or C.S. Lewis. Their works combine intellectual rigour with what seems like poetry. It's beautiful. That's why we're going to work through a 3 part series about definitions. Fun! Actually, these are definitions that kind of …

You’re Allowed to Challenge my Beliefs

In one of my summer jobs as a student, I had a co-worker who was also a Christian. I remember overhearing some other co-workers talking to each other about how they shouldn't talk about certain subjects around my Christian co-worker. I cannot speak for my brother in Christ. Perhaps he wouldn't like to be challenged. Perhaps …

The Most Shocking Thing Ever Uttered

You've probably heard it said that the teachings of Jesus are great, even if people don't believe him to be God as Christians do. His teachings like: "love your enemy", "love your neighbour as yourself", "Do not worry about tomorrow, for each day has enough trouble of its own" are recognized by almost everyone as being, …

The Post Script I Never Had

I just finished a 4 part series telling my story. In the final post, I originally had an excessively long P.S. that was, strictly speaking, completely unrelated. So, rather than have a super long set of asides, I set aside my asides for another day. Today, my friends, is that day. In part 4, I …

My Story, Part IV: Home

I'm doing this series in order for readers to understand where I've come from and why I'm so passionate about Christ. This is the concluding part of a long series about God as He's worked in my life (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3). If you're just joining, I'd recommend starting at the beginning. But now, …

My Story, Part III: Feeling

This series is a recounting of God's story throughout my life (Part 1, Part 2). I want to do this because I'd like readers to know the broader context of my writing. I want you to understand why I even care to write about Christianity. I would recommend starting at the beginning, as this post won't …

My Story, Part II: Numb

This is part 2 of sharing God's story in my life. As explained in Part 1, I'm sharing this in order to encourage you and provide you a personal and broader context for my writing. I ended Part 1 with my decision to become a Christian around the middle of high school. But that was just …

My Story, Part I: Beginnings

I mentioned in An Introduction to PP that I wanted to share my testimony, despite the prospect being quite unsettling. Although this is a site that will be largely devoted to philosophical explorations of the Christian truth claims, I wanted to share my story so readers can understand where I've come from and why I'm writing. If …
