This story is personal. And it’s an urgent question Christendom must contend with: why are white Christians the meanest people on the internet?

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

Hi, I’m Eric.
I’m wrapping up twenty years in the U.S. Navy—a career that took me from special operations to aviation to the frontiers of science.
I nearly lost it all by burying trauma beneath the illusion of achievement, drowning it in alcohol, and turning away from the very thing I needed most: love.
Now I’m writing my way back.
The Recovering is where I make sense of healing, fatherhood, and the messiness of becoming. I write about war and recovery, gratitude and grief, parenting and purpose.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

Finding balance in routine and falling into the steps of adulthood is tricky! I share a chunk of my experience here in my new post.
We can't all be Carrie Bradshaw.
I guess I’m too old. I stuck it out for 32 minutes. When the guest proudly announced he doesn’t vote, I lost any interest I still had. Felt like I could sort of see Tim feeling the same way, but if this kind of programming can pull young male fasc-curious types to the light side, go for it.

Substack is in danger of collapsing under its own weight. There are just too many worthy accounts here now to expect readers to cough up $5 for every writer they want to read. There needs to be some kind of subscription/revenue sharing mechanism so subscribers aren’t constantly asked for money for every damned article they’d like to read. Sell tokens. Punchcards. Come on, SS, INNOVATE ALREADY.
