Grown Folks Faith: When Belonging Gives Way to Becoming
Author's Note: Grown Folks Faith explores a quiet misalignment inside a long-standing social and religious system: Christianity as it is often practiced versus what it claims to embody. Rather than critiquing belief itself, this essay examines how systems meant to cultivate humility, love and transformation can drift into elitism through habit, identity and unexamined contrast. The misalignment rarely announces itself as failure; it appears as friction—spiritual one-upmanship, exclusion masked as certainty and belonging that replaces becoming. By tracing the developmental arc of Israel in the Hebrew Scriptures and reflecting on lived Christian experience, this piece looks at how systems shape people over time, how power and identity subtly reorganize meaning, and how maturity is often resisted by the very structures designed to nurture it. This is not a proposal for reform. It is an act of attention—toward a system many inherit, few question and almost all are shaped by.

I Wasn’t Lazy. I Was Lost
I remember the feeling of the duvet—heavy, microfiber, and smelling slightly of stale coffee—pressing me into the mattress at 2:00 PM on a Tuesday. Outside, the world was humming. People were "crushing" goals, ticking off to-do lists, and moving with a terrifying level of purpose.
