Welcome to Belief and Being.

We are all just stories. You are what you worship.

Belief and Being is a newsletter about faith, story, and struggle. I don't believe in better answers, just better questions, and better ways of exploring. What we believe is less important than why we believe it, and how it shapes our lives. Life is full of confusion, paradox, and mystery; let’s embrace a faith that fearlessly embraces it all. Everything is going to be about: What does it mean to be you? What does it mean to be you in the world? What do you believe and why?

We are all just stories. You are what you worship.

As for me, I’m a former content manager for The Chapel a year-long online community of “spiritual misfits” founded by Rev. Nadia Bolz-Weber. I also run an online interfaith discussion group called Together in Faith, Together in Heart (I’ll invite subscribers, here for now). My pronouns are he/him.

My faith background is Judaism and Christianity (think of it as a dual-citizenship) and 12-step. It’s been a lot of choices along the way and hopefully, you’ll find I have something that will aid you on your journey.
