01. i’m texas born + bred
–

My blood runs with real Dr. Pepper + Mrs. Baird’s bread. I am constantly on the lookout for yellow queso anywhere I go. I can recite the Texas Pledge of Allegiance and will perform it on demand, even if you didn’t demand it of me.

02. i have three kids + one husband.
–

I really like hanging out with my family. Our preferred activities include: whining on hikes, kitchen dance parties, and staring at our devices in the same room together. We also really love to eat. That’s probably our favorite thing.

03. i am a zac efron apologist.
–

If you gave me zero minutes to prepare, I could give a thirty minute TED talk on Zac Efron’s entire career in film, why he needs a new agent, and how he was absolutely robbed from getting an Oscar with his performance in “The Iron Claw.”

04. I’m a self-taught bible nerd.
–

No shade to seminary, but I never went. I taught myself how to study the Bible based on other brilliant scholars and teachers, and am constantly learning new things. My favorite Biblical topics are the tabernacles and temples, the life of Jesus, and Ecclesiastes.

want me all up in your inbox? i promise it’s fun.

JOIN ME ON SUBSTACK

I’ve been writing on the internet since the heady days of xanga, but the Ui is better on substack. instead of angsty posts about caedmon’s call lyrics, now I’m writing for and with disentangling believers, post-evangelicals, and those burnt out and frustrated by white Christian nationalism and the cultural Christianity complex™️. I’m writing for everyone who feels angry and confused about the gap between how Christianity is presented in america and how jesus asked us to live as his followers. the disenchanted, the disillusioned, and the barely-hanging-on are welcome. this is a space for doubters, questioners, and anyone just flat out tired of pretending to have all the answers.

We’re also invested in tomfoolery, shenanigans, and benevolent horseplay. not much is that serious over there.
