I was in an argument the other day about Kanye’s church and whether or not he was qualified to pastor a church. The conversation ended in frustration and a little bit of anxiety around the notion of starting a church and who is qualified to lead one. Another argument about church but this time with […]
The Authenticity of Christianity
A long time ago, back in 09, I sat in my black ’03 Volvo on a Friday night and cried. It was given to me by my mother after she upgraded. This particular night, my car was more than just my transportation, it was my altar. I had just finished having sex with […]

Recently I read an article with the simple headline “Kanye considering starting a church.” I immediately thought I must ask my friends about this and see what they think.
