A Message from the Editor

We are all works in progress, and that is where the magic happens. I truly believe that I am a product of everything I have loved and everyone who has loved me. This journey of love isn't a straight line—it’s a winding path filled with unexpected challenges, unfolding promises, and constant surprises. Sometimes life is polished, but more often, it is beautifully messy.

My mission through this website has been to create a space where we don't have to hide those rough edges. But leaning into grace doesn't mean staying silent. True love requires the courage to speak out against injustice and the radicalism that seeks to divide us. To embrace the 'unfinished' is to also commit ourselves to the work of healing a broken world. As a pastor, a gay man, and a fellow traveler, I invite you to join me just as you are. Let’s stop waiting for 'perfect' and start leaning into the grace of the unfinished—and the bravery of the outspoken. Let’s embrace this beautiful, messy, and courageous life together.
