Sip the Tea and Find the truth

  • The Scribe’s Mandate:

    Writing as a Sacred Trust ​I do not write for applause, and I do not write to fill a page. I write because I am under a mandate. ​The Word of God is the ultimate standard because it is immutable; it is the same yesterday, today, and forever. As a writer and a teacher, my… Read more

  • The Dignity We Carry (When the World Offers None)

    ​There is a specific kind of exhaustion that comes with being “unclean.” It isn’t just about the dirt or the sweat; it’s about the heavy, soul-deep degradation of being denied the basic tools of humanity. ​For many, a hot shower or a box of period supplies is a given. For me, during the years I… Read more

  • Running from the Sufferance:

    ​How El Roi Found Me in the Chaos ​There is a profound difference between hearing a story and surviving one. ​When I tell people that Jesus is real, that He saved me and He keeps me! I often see a look of polite confusion in their eyes. They see the person standing here today, but… Read more

  • The Theology of the Runaway:

    ​From the Wilderness to the Remnant ​Pull up a chair and take a sip. We need to talk about a story we think we know, but through a lens most are too afraid to use. We often discuss the twelve-year-old boy in the Temple (Luke 2) as a perfect Sunday school lesson. We focus on… Read more

  • The 360 Restoration:

    Forgiveness Beyond the ‘Unrehabilitatable’ ​Welcome back to God’Sip and Tea. Today, we are pouring out a truth that is as heavy as it is healing. ​If you have ever walked through a fire that should have consumed you, you know that forgiveness isn’t just a “polite” suggestion. When you have survived abandonment, the kidnapping of… Read more

  • My Mission:

    What is your mission? Providing the Anchor ​My mission is to transform survival into stability. Having lived the reality of the streets, I know that the hardest part of being homeless isn’t just the lack of a roof—it’s the loss of a connection to the world. Through Blue Bag Foundation Inc. and the development of… Read more

  • The Tea They Can’t Swallow:

    ​My Breath, His Words ​Pull up a chair. Let’s get real about the “God’Sip.” ​There’s a specific kind of look people give you when you’ve survived things that should have buried you. I know that look. I’ve seen it in the eyes of the “shaken in faith” and the “naysayers” who have read the Book… Read more

  • The Spore Effect:

    Why Good People Turn ​Today we’re getting into something that most people don’t want to talk about because it feels uncomfortable. We’re talking about the “Spore Effect.” You know, we spend so much time focusing on how to grow good fruit in our lives, joy, peace, humility, and gratefulness. We treat these attributes like they… Read more

  • The High Cost of Discernment:

    Why the World Can’t Handle the Raw Truth ​There is a specific kind of loneliness that comes when you realize you simply don’t “fit” into the standard machinery of society. For me, that feeling wasn’t a choice; it was a reality I was born into. I have always been an outsider because of a gift… Read more
