The most dangerous historical mistake isn’t forgetting the past.
It’s remembering it in a way that lets us claim righteousness while excusing harm.
This essay asks where we actually belong in the stories we tell about ourselves.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how scripted our public conversations have become, how rarely we actually listen anymore, and what that costs us as human beings.
I wrote about it on the latest Substack.

Waking up to breaking news out of Venezuela and renewed questions about power and constitutional limits.
Five years after January 6, I published an essay this morning about what that day revealed—and what we chose to do with it afterward.
Not a hot take. An invitation to read.

This essay grew out of a question a friend asked me over dinner:
“Do you feel more Jewish or more Christian?”
It led me through history, faith, and the limits of choosing who we are.
If you have time and space today, I’d be grateful for your reading.

We talk a lot about civility.
Less often about when confrontation becomes a moral imperative.
I wrote about this through Jesus, Dr. King, and lived experience.

Greg Smith of @pewresearch.org has studied religion in America for 20+ years. We explore what the data actually tells us about belief in 2025:
✝️ Religious affiliation is holding steady
🙏 Gen Z is not as secular as you’ve heard
📉 And most Christians say faith ≠ party loyalty

This is about the challenges one faces and internal tools required to engage on such fraught subjects as "politics & religion" - not coming from a place of an expert who's got it all figured out; more from a fellow traveler who's learning along the way.

I've been appreciating Substack more so than other platforms (but don't tell Bluesky air traffic control). Anyway, when you get a chance to digest my latest over there, it'd be great to hear your thoughts and engage.
