We have a growing number of clubs on the BridgeCity Global campus where our community members organize around a variety of topics like deconstruction, gardening, wellness, politics and even art. Each of these clubs host activities throughout the week that keep our community connected and growing.
I've been especially proud of this endeavor because it didn't come from me. I didn't organize it. I didn't facilitate it. I didn't plan it. It wasn't even my idea. And yet in the past three months, clubs have been a key driver of community engagement. Real conversations are taking place between people in Canada and Malaysia, Hiroshima and Miami, and the list goes on.
To me, this is a MAJOR win for the mission of Bridge City. In order for people to LIVE BETTER they have to BUILD BETTER. But people can't BUILD BETTER until they can CONNECT BETTER <-- That's the assignment. We're not building echo-chambers, we're building ecosystems. Between our clubs, groups, teams, movie nights, Sunday Sessions and monthly house parties, our members are reorienting themselves and reclaiming what living means to them. I am deeply honored and highly privileged to be in this position, in this moment.
Our Life's Big Questions Club is hosting a month long reflective conversation on the BIG questions that people are seeking answers to after leaving religion. This club is organized by one of our members from Australia who has been with us since November. She lives in a context where she cannot yet be open about her nonbelief, but over the last few month's our community has been able to provide her and countless others space not just to grieve, but to breathe. From a sociological perspective...this is the method to counter the madness. #KeepRising

I just released a new workbook on WyndowShop to accompany the Everything With Jesus Video. These are incredibly helpful for those who want a deeper dive into these subjects including vocabulary, resources and social insight.
Everything Wrong With Genesis — Student Workbook is a guided companion for anyone unpacking how Genesis shapes identity, morality, and institutions. Written for deconstructing thinkers, small groups, and facilitators, this workbook breaks the subject into course-ready modules (Creation, Adam & Eve, The Fall, Gender, Divine Violence, Flood, Babel, Chosenness, Literalism), psychological insights, sociological analysis, a glossary, curated study resources, and discussion + capstone prompts. Use it as a self-study guide or as the backbone for BridgeCity-style discussion sessions and MasterMind modules that rebuild epistemic confidence, moral agency, and community without authoritarian frameworks.

Today I get to share something that makes me genuinely proud.
BridgeCity is expanding in a real way. This past week, students and faculty came together to establish BridgeCity @ Mississippi State University as an official campus club!
This is what it looks like when our mission leaves the screen and becomes structure.
When Connect Better. Build Better. Live Better. starts becoming a footprint.
BridgeCity @ MSU exists to carry our culture into a campus environment:
Forward-thinking
People-centric
Life-affirming
This is BridgeCity being BridgeCity — in a new place, with new builders, and new momentum.
So I’m celebrating today. And I’m asking you to celebrate with me.
If you’re connected to anyone at Mississippi State, tell them BridgeCity has a home on campus now
This is how movements grow: by real-world nodes where people can connect, build, and live—together.
Welcome to the family, BridgeCity @ MSU.
Keep Rising.

We're building a Family Feud for an upcoming BridgeCity Game Night. Would you mind helping out by giving your HONEST answer to some of the game questions?
Here's the first one: Name something people are unlearning after leaving religion.

In today's video, we unpack why the science vs. religion conflict is so often dishonest at its foundation. We explore how strawman arguments, category errors, and false equivalencies keep the conversation performative rather than productive — and why science and religion are not competing ways of knowing in the first place.
