While writing the book, I often went down rabbit holes on subjects I wanted to incorporate or expand upon in my story. I realized that my desire to go deeper into essential topics would have significantly changed the dynamic of my storyline. Then it dawned on me: I could write particular "thought" chapters! At the start of writing the book, I outlined these "thoughts" - subject title and a brief description. As ideas came up for these sections, I'd revisit whichever caught the inspiration...

My Gay Church DaysSPECIAL GUEST - Eric FeltesSo often, we are taught to process information in binary thinking. This usually leaves us wondering what is the correct answer - there must be a right and wrong answer, no? For those who have experienced the traumas of religion, we find binary thinking comforting. It allows us to think of our worlds as black and white, good and evil. Unfortunately, this practice negates the complexity of life, sometimes bringing us to a choice between a rock and a hard place.  Eric defies these norms. His faith and sexuality have inspired so many, and I am so fortunate to have h...

Through my evolution after leaving Evangelical Christianity, I started off being wildly tormented by thoughts of eternal damnation. As I started to press harder into discovering my desires and identity, I evolved into the space of being comfortable with the unknown. Once deathly afraid, the concept of "not knowing" has been one of my closest and best friends.
