When I first began writing Divinely Interrupted, I sat down with my Bible, a journal, and the Holy Spirit and simply started teaching. My intent was sincere: I wanted people to know Jesus, to love Scripture, and to feel less alone in their faith. But looking back, I also recognize that I wasn’t trained to read Scripture in its fuller context. I didn’t understand how theology, tradition, and story hold the Bible together. I thought the Bible, a journal, and the Holy Spirit were enough, and while that’s a beautiful start, it isn’t a healthy or complete framework.
In hindsight, I can see how much my understanding of Scripture was shaped not only by my own upbringing but also by the culture around me, the evangelical church model I was formed in, our Western consumer mindset, and a faith system that often prized certainty and performance over communion and formation. I didn’t mean to mislead; I was simply learning out loud within the only framework I knew. What I wrote came from where I was, and for many of you, it seems God still used those reflections to meet you where you were. For that, I’m deeply grateful.
That said, while I’m not abandoning Divinely Interrupted, I am going to reorient it, just as my faith has been reoriented. This will remain an open space for reflection, a place where I write as a disciple in formation, not as a teacher. I may write one thing and later write something entirely different as I continue to learn and unlearn. The posture here is humility and curiosity, not authority.
At the same time, my faith has always intertwined with my work. The marketplace has become one of the most sacred spaces of my discipleship. My career in fintech isn’t separate from my faith; it’s one of the ways I get to live it out. That’s why I created Between Builds: to give language and shape to what it means to live faithfully in the messy middle, between belief systems, between jobs, and between the person we were and the one we’re becoming.
Some of you may remember that I tried launching a Substack once before. The vision was right, but the timing was off. So, I stepped back, paused, learned, took a career sabbatical, and waited. Now, the time seems right to begin again. The podcast is live, the Substack is active and growing, and I have a small team that helps me bring the vision to life with consistency and care.
So while Divinely Interrupted remains a place for quiet reflection, Between Builds is where I’m writing more regularly about the integration of faith, leadership, and life. If you’ve resonated with my writing here, I’d love for you to join me there, where story, formation, and marketplace calling all meet.

Thank you for walking with me through all of this, the unraveling, the fog, and the reorientation. Our good, good Father has been faithful every step of the way, and I’m learning that discipleship is less about mastery and more about being met, again and again, by grace.
With love and gratitude,
