About Brian

A kid growing up immersed in fantasy, I woke to reality when I divorced at 28. It turns out that thousands of hours of video games and pornography doesn't prepare a man to be a good husband.

After my divorce, God gave me grace in the form of clarity and remorse. I started looking for answers to my own brokenness and how to live a better, more grateful life.

God has given me a second chance at marriage - one which is Christ-centered and life-giving - a stark contrast from my first. Out of appreciation for His goodness and mercy, I hope to share some of what has changed my heart, and perhaps help others who are where I have been.

Given the nature of my writing, I will not pay-wall posts.
