Tell us more about you… And why should I subscribe?

You might say, there are already a lot of political newsletters out there. What makes you different?

I’m doing this — in part — because I couldn’t find anyone speaking with kindness, calm, and love about politics; as well as hope and a small bit of faith, too.

In my opinion, there is too much anger in politics. And I will do my best to bring the spirit of Lincoln into each thought I share on here.

I will also have an optimistic and positive tone to every post. I’m actually optimistic about the future, but I’m not naive. Even if we take some punches or get knocked down in the days and weeks to come, the “better angels of our nature” must climb back to our feet and never surrender.

Okay, I hear you, I hear you. You want to know more about my political views and I want to save you from spending hours digging through my past posts on social media.

At the most general sense, I’m a proud moderate. And I believe our government works best when there’s compromise and bipartisanship. So, I do my best not to be a flame thrower.

I also want to be clear that I’m not in the GOP and I’m not in the Democratic Party. (And I’m not a fan of Trump, MAGA, isolationism, and all the weird stuff the progressives throw out.)

See? I have no tribe. I’m stuck in the middle, mostly alone.

So I live on a narrow sliver of ground. This narrow sliver of ground is made even more narrow by the fact that I’m an evangelical Christian (which I know is now a dirty word), but I’m not a Christian nationalist. I’ve tried to come up with a different term than evangelical Christian, since some of them can be quite judgy and mean, but I can’t seem to come up with a better word.

The bottom line is I’m a follower of Jesus and I do believe (and feel compelled) to try to save as many people as I can from hell. That makes me an evangelical Christian, and just as I can’t do anything about the fact that most Marines are arrogant rear-ends, I can’t do anything about some of the angry church people that harshly judge (and do more harm than good).

The reality remains: I’m a Marine. I’m a Christian. And I pray I’m different than most Marines and Christians.

Moving along, I’d love to have more time to write posts on here on a more frequent basis, along with more time to devote to my defense podcast, my faith podcast, the books I’m writing, etc, etc.

I’m a creator at heart, and I feel called to speak to people, but I currently work a full-time job. It’d be nice to have more time to focus on these projects, so if you feel compelled to put $5 toward the cause per month, that would help me reach my long-term goals.
