Maybe We’re Asking the Wrong Questions

There is something strange happening in modern spirituality. We live in an age of artificial intelligence, smartphones, quantum physics, instant communication, self-driving technology, and refrigerators that apparently know when we are running low on raw cow’s milk (moo). We can communicate with someone on the other side of the planet in seconds, ask a machine to summarize two thousand years of Christian theology, and watch a documentary about ancient Egypt while sitting on the toilet. And yet, increasingly, we are... Read more

Smell the Dog Doo Doo

We’ve all heard the advice: Stop and smell the roses. It’s on coffee mugs, Pinterest boards, and probably hanging in someone’s kitchen next to a decorative rooster. And honestly, it’s not bad advice. We need moments where we slow down, take a deep breath, and simply enjoy the goodness that’s right in front of us. The warmth of the sun, the sound of the waves, the laughter of our kids, a good cup of bone broth (mmm delicious), or... Read more

I have a confession: I’ve won a lot of arguments in the shower. You know the kind. You’re shampooing your hair when suddenly your brain remembers that Facebook comment from three days ago. This time, however, you’re brilliant. Every comeback lands. Every point is airtight. Somewhere in your imagination, the stranger admits defeat, apologizes for everything wrong with modern civilization, and nominates you for “Most Reasonable Human Being on the Internet.” Then you dry off, make a protein shake (me...

The Holy Chaos of the Modern Family

The other day I caught myself arguing with my computer. Not metaphorically. Actually arguing and using profanity that even Tony Hinchcliffe would shit his pants over. The screen was frozen. Emails were piling up. My phone was buzzing. One kid needed a ride to soccer. Another was complaining about being bored. My youngest was doing what five-year-old’s do best—creating problems nobody knew existed ten minutes earlier. My wife was sitting ten feet away working from home too. And in that... Read more

The Sacred Art of Missing Out

Part III: Finding God in What You Didn’t Click On Let’s talk about a spiritual discipline nobody is promoting. Not fasting. Not silence. Not waking up at 4:30 a.m. to journal beside a candle while a guy named River softly plays acoustic guitar on YouTube. I’m talking about missing out. Just… not being there. Not seeing the post. Not reading the article. Not watching the breakdown explaining why civilization is apparently collapsing because a billionaire tweeted something weird at... Read more

Part II: When Your Neighbor’s Robot Is Holier Than You There was a time—not that long ago—when “Keeping Up with the Joneses” meant your neighbor got a nicer grill. You’d notice it.You’d pretend not to care.And then, three weeks later, you’d somehow own a slightly better grill like it was your civic duty. That was manageable. Now? Your neighbor has an AI running his calendar, making decisions, optimizing his day before he’s even brushed his teeth. He’s got income... Read more

Part I: Blessed are the logged off Let me confess something that feels borderline un-American in 2026: I don’t always know what’s going on. Sue me. BUT, other times I know too much… No breaking news…breaking news all the time.No hot takes…one hot take after another.No “wait, did you see this?!”…”I didn’t see shit!” It is fucking exhausting! That is why I hop off as much as I can just to enjoy… silence. And instead of panic, I feel peace.... Read more

Mormon Rap and Living in the Now

Last updated on: July 31, 2026 at 12:54 pm By Jordan Hathcock

Looking back on my years in Mormonism feels a little like flipping through an old yearbook… if that yearbook also occasionally tried to convert you. Some memories are meaningful. Some are confusing. And some are unintentionally hilarious in a way that makes you go, “Wait… we were serious about that?” Time does that. It takes what once felt massive and defining and gently moves it into the category of “Well, that was a chapter.” Not the whole book. Just a... Read more

Riffing in an Algorithmic World — Part III By now we’ve established a few things about life inside the algorithm. First, it knows your habits. Second, it thinks it knows your personality. Third, it definitely knows you were googling something weird at 1:14 a.m. Which raises an uncomfortable question: If the algorithm is predicting your life… are you actually living it? Because a lot of what passes for living online is basically spiritual fast food. Fast opinions. Fast outrage. Fast... Read more

The Algorithm Knows Your Soul (And It’s Not Impressed)

Riffing in an Algorithmic World — Part II In Part I, I argued that algorithms have basically become our digital prophets — minus the sackcloth, plus push notifications. Since then, things have escalated. The other day I started typing a text and my phone’s AI autocomplete finished my sentence before I even knew where I was going with it. Not “close enough.” Not “vaguely accurate.” Perfect. Which means somewhere in the cloud, a server now understands my thought patterns better... Read more
