PRIDE AND HUMILITY
"Pride is your most noteworthy adversary, lowliness is your most prominent companion." So said the late John R.W. Stott, a surprisingly unassuming man of extraordinary capacities and achievements who is frequently said to have had the best effect for Christ of anybody in the 20th hundred years. His concise assertion about pride and lowliness goes directly to the core of what the Book of scriptures shows the lethal base of our transgressions and distresses.

The Invisible Thread
I was 15 years old when I first realized I was different. Not the difference that makes you popular in high school, but the difference that makes you feel like an alien in your own skin. I was Jamie, a boy on the outside, but on the inside, Sarah screaming to get out.

WE ARE WITH YOU
To my dear queer youth, I want you to know that I see you. I see the challenges you face, the fear of judgment, the struggle for acceptance, and the longing for belonging. These are not burdens you bear alone, they are shared experiences that connect you to a larger community of individuals who understand and support you. I want to continue this conversation with you, knowing that the journey you're on is both unique and shared by many. Every step you take, every moment of doubt or triumph, is a testament to your strength and resilience. In a world that may not always recognize or appreciate your identity.

Letting Go
Words you would never say, thoughts inside fearful to share Last thing you think about when laying head down to sleep The very first thing across your mind awakening to sun’s ray

How do you stop wanting the thing you want most? Want can make us feel and do things we never would When we want, we don’t stop to think about motives

Where's Your Pride Vocal?
I have had the privilege to be able to be an out queer and genderfluid person in most of my spaces. My wife and I are accepted and loved by the people in our lives. Our rights as a same-sex couple are protected. And even more so, I've been able to support and empower queer youth in their identities. Even in the Arctic.

What They Don't Tell You About Testosterone
This article discusses anatomy and needles. Hi, I'm Danny, and I've been on testosterone for two and a half years. When I met with my doctor in early 2022, I was taught the basics of testosterone replacement: how to do it, what it will change, and things to look out for. But like many transmasculine folks, I just took the doctor's word instead of doing my own research - and this means that I was greeted by many unexpected things during my transition journey. I wouldn't change anything, of course. With all the new information I've learned since starting testosterone two years ago, I think it'd be helpful to share with others who are just beginning their journey, or who just have an interest in being a better ally.

My Journey to Peace
My Excursion to Harmony: Conquering Forlornness and Embracing Confinement The quiet used to be a stunning thunder. It reverberated in the vacant spaces of my loft, a consistent sign of the isolation that stuck to me like a subsequent skin. Depression wasn't simply an inclination; it was a presence, a significant burden on my chest that gagged the delight out of life.

My Coming Out Story
I have yet to write about this as anything other than fiction. The only time I've ever, in fact, was a short story I wrote in 2008 when it was happening.
