I have been sort of missing in action the past year, and thought it would be worth explaining as I start to get back into the swing of things. When I started back up blogging and podcasting in 2023 I was in the midst of a perhaps naively optimistic battle for my then-marriage. I was …

Last week I posted an essay detailing the sequence of events that led to my surprise expulsion from Peterson Academy, along with at least 4 other students (followed by many others in subsequent weeks).

[First published in The Christian Post] I became interested in potentially misleading accounts of 20th Century revival history when I studied allegations of misconduct against Mike Bickle, the once revered leader of the International House of Prayer.

This is not a hit piece, but “the wounds of a friend.” Nobody from Bethel wants to insult “Papa” Bill and Kris, or the optimistic culture, but my reluctance combined with alarm are probable qualifications to do so.
