Misc.
Years ago I developed a passion for walking in the woods. This site was first developed as a way to share my love for backpacking through my online journals. Soon, I was discovering other areas of life that I enjoyed “walking” through – and so I continued to journal. This site is now dedicated to more than just taking a walk through the woods. It has become a collection of resources for those who “walk” in other ways. Feel free to read, share, and comment on what you find.

The Nephilim and the Book of Jude
As some of you may know, a number of years ago I wrote a book called, The Nephilim: A Monster Among Us. It’s a fictional piece written as a defense of the Christian faith and of the New Testament. In my book I also tried to raise some doubts about the wildly popular notion that […]
Understanding Conspiracy Theories
Was COVID-19 designed to kill Republican voters? Did the moon landing actually take place in a movie studio? Was the World War II Holocaust a myth? Was the election stolen from Trump? Is Bigfoot the result of government genetic testing gone bad? If you’re a Christian and you love a good conspiracy theory, then this […]
Why I Am Not Jehovah’s Witness
I’m getting back to my series of ‘why I am not’ blogs. In this series I’ve been taking a look at various faith expressions and discussing why I don’t belong to that particular camp. Today, I’d like to address why I am not Jehovah’s Witness. Most of you are probably familiar with this organization. They’re […]
Examining Troy Black’s “War” Prophecy for 2022
Sometimes Youtube likes to make suggestions on videos that they think that I’d like to watch. Well, just the other day, a video popped up on my feed called, “God Showed Me a Coming Sign of War in 2022.” This is a prophetic message from a young man named Troy Black. He’s a Youtuber and […]
Why I Am Not Muslim
I’d like to begin a series of blogs that I’m calling, “Why I am not.” In this series, I’d like to take a look at various faith expressions and explain why I do not belong to that particular camp. A number of months ago I did a video on why I am Christian and not […]
Can We Lose Our Salvation?
Can we lose our salvation? If you’ve been following along on this blog, then you know that lately I’ve been dealing with topics and scripture related to Calvinism. As I’ve explained, I used to be a Calvinist and had once held tightly to those doctrinal beliefs. However, I have since abandoned those beliefs. Calvinism is […]
Who Are the Nephilim?
Who are the Nephilim? That’s the question that I want to take a look at today. This is a question that keeps popping up in my ministry. The night before I posted this blog, an inmate in the jail asked me the question during Bible study. I know that a lot of people have the […]
The Trump Prophecies Examined
It was June 2020 that I first saw Dana Coverstone’s original dream video. Like many others I began to follow some of his subsequent dreams in order to determine if they would come true. While doing my research I soon became inundated with videos on Youtube. Its algorithms apparently thought I was interested in prophetic […]
