Joseph

Do you know how it feels to be paralyzed by fear; buried beneath shame; and condemned by guilt?

If so, you’re in safe company.

I lived much of my life in that place.

I write and share reflections along my journey towards wholeness and abundant life as I reject fear and pursue love. I don’t expect you to agree with everything I say; but I hope that you will always leave feeling loved.


A bit more about me.

Here’s a bit of my stats:

  • Born in Texas; raised in a RV traversing the USA; moved to NYC in 2017
  • Left NYC in 2021 to pursue a slower, more contemplative life
  • Currently working remotely as a contract Finance Manager for several companies
  • Home-schooled > B.S. in Ministry Leadership > M.A. in Intercultural Studies
  • Hobbies include running, hiking, hosting, and reflecting
  • Enneagram 2; Myers Briggs ISTJ ISFJ

My Life Manifesto

These principles articulate how I want to live, even though I don’t always meet this standard. I share them so that you might gain a better understanding into how I approach the world.

  1. I listen first and value other’s stories. I grow when I see the world through other’s eyes. 
  2. I express love even when that causes me to feel insecure. Love grounds my convictions and molds my beliefs.
  3. I share authentically. I am radically vulnerable about my experience, because I believe stories promote connection and bridge divides. 
  4. I reject perfectionism. I fail often and learn from it. I am not ashamed to admit when I am wrong, and always look for ways to grow.
  5. I live and work with a communal orientation. I always seek to make space in my life for “the other”.
  6. I glorify my Creator through daily confessing my dependence upon Him and partnering with him to fulfill the purpose that he has given to me.
