WordCrave is about exploring faith, language, and the craving behind the Word we live by — from scripture to story, from mystery to meaning.

I’m a software developer who codes by day and wrestles with hard questions by night (and sometimes at the same time). I’m a Christian who refuses to check my brain at the door. When someone says “that’s just how it is,” I hear, “we haven’t thought about this deeply enough yet.”

I write about the questions that keep my brain buzzing until I’ve pulled back the curtain—and, more importantly, until I understand why the answer works. Expect clear logic, skepticism toward lazy thinking, and zero tolerance for intellectual surrender.

I’ve gotten pretty good at seeing how things fit together, which means I’m often right—but “often” isn’t “always,” and I know the difference. If you can show me where my logic legitimately breaks down—hey, thank you! You’ve found a bug in production. Now I want to reproduce it, understand what it is you’ve found, and get things working again.

Published occasionally—only when it’s necessary. No filler, just the good stuff when it matters.
