In revealing and frank essays he reimagines a faith without dogma, centered solely on Jesus’ doctrine of love, humility, and self-denial.

There are moments in life when you no longer know if what you’re feeling truly belongs to you… Or if you’re just quietly carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. I know that inner space well—the one where you feel like you’re always too much… or never enough. You’re surrounded by people, yet you feel exposed. It only takes a word, a glance, a subtle shift in the air… and everything inside you starts to vibrate. You absorb. You sense. You feel. Even what others deny. Even what no one dares to say.

Clearing is a gentle but powerful way to release the old stress you're still carrying from your life history, as well as transform how you're affected by the energy around you each day. Many people experience immediate shifts in their energy during a clearing, and significant change often unfolds in the days and weeks afterward. In fact, clearing has even been described as "accelerated meditation" because it can lead to a sense of calm and happiness that typically results only after years of a mindfulness practice.
