🔒 Christmas is Not An Escape

Christmas is often framed as relief — a pause, a comfort, a sentimental shelter from the weight of the world. But the original claim of Christmas is far more severe. God does not remove humanity from history; He enters it. This essay reflects on Christmas as commitment rather than escape, and on why incarnation makes neutrality impossible.

🔒 Distraction Is Not Freedom

Modern captivity rarely relies on chains or walls. It relies on distraction — the steady redirection of attention away from truth, cost, and agency. This essay examines how distraction functions as a form of managed enslavement, and why Christmas stands in quiet opposition to it by insisting on presence, embodiment, and attention that cannot be outsourced.

Sunday Article (Dec. 21, 2025): God Enters the Ordinary

Christmas is often imagined as interruption or spectacle, but the Incarnation unfolds almost entirely within the ordinary. This Sunday reflection considers how God chooses to enter history quietly, relationally, and without exemption from human limitation — and why that choice still shapes what faithfulness looks like now.

Free Article 2 (Dec. 21, 2025): Hope Without Optimism

Christmas hope is often confused with optimism — the belief that things will improve, resolve, or turn out well. This essay reflects on a deeper, quieter hope revealed by the Incarnation: hope that does not depend on conditions, momentum, or visible progress, but endures precisely when those things are absent.

Sabbath Article (Dec. 20, 2025): Sabbath in a Tight Season

Sabbath is often framed as rest that flows from abundance, margin, or completion. This reflection explores Sabbath in a tighter, harder register — as rest practiced under constraint, uncertainty, and waiting. It reflects on what Sabbath means when there is no surplus, and why that form of rest may be closer to its original intent.

Free Article 2 (Dec. 20, 2025) : The Incarnation Does Not Optimize

Modern systems are built to optimize — speed, scale, efficiency, growth. Christmas tells a different story. This essay reflects on the Incarnation as a deliberate refusal of optimization, and why God entering the world through limitation, obscurity, and vulnerability challenges every system that equates power with acceleration.

Free Article 1 (Dec. 20, 2025): Advent Is Not Delay — It Is Discipline

Advent is often treated as a sentimental countdown to Christmas, but it is something far more demanding. This essay explores Advent as a discipline of waiting — not passive delay, but active formation — and why waiting is essential in a world addicted to immediacy, leverage, and optimization.
