I’m a writer, podcaster, and former pastor who spent years inside American evangelical Christianity—long enough to learn its language, its fears, and its fixation on the end of the world. I’ve preached the sermons, sat through the prophecy charts, and watched faith get reduced to panic, certainty, and control. Eventually, I stepped away from the institution, but not from curiosity, ethics, or the questions that refuse to go quiet.
The Tribulation Survival Guide was born out of that tension. I wanted to write something honest about end-times Christianity without writing another angry takedown or a dour theology book. Satire turned out to be the only language sharp enough—and kind enough—to do the job. Humor lets you tell the truth without pretending you’re above the mess.
The book is written for people who grew up afraid, suspicious, or exhausted by religious fear-mongering, and for anyone who’s wondered what belief looks like once certainty collapses. It’s a survival guide not for the apocalypse, but for living after fear stops working.
I host the Snarky Faith podcast, where I explore religion, power, and meaning with equal parts skepticism and curiosity. This book is simply an extension of that work—asking better questions, laughing where we can, and staying human in the process.
