A guided journey to love without asterisks.
Shaped by years of walking beside an LGBTQ+ child—and written from the perspective of a dad formed in a conservative evangelical world—this eight-week email journey invites anyone with an LGBTQ+ loved one to discover what it means to love more deeply, more freely, and without asterisks.
Who is this for?
These words rise from the heart of a parent, but they are not only for parents.
They are for anyone who longs to love more deeply: a sibling, a friend, a coworker, or anyone whose presence in your life matters enough to fight for.
They are written from the perspective of a dad shaped by tradition, still searching, still learning, still being renovated along the way.
What you'll find inside
This journey has been nearly a decade in the making, distilled into two or three emails a week over eight weeks.
Told with honesty. With flashes of humor. With threads of scripture. With music that carried me when words ran dry.
And if the thought of reading yet another email feels heavy—I get it. That’s why every message is also recorded, so you can listen instead, like a podcast. Together they even form a complete audio book album you can keep in your music apps.
It is not a program of religion, but it speaks especially to those who feel the weight of faith, family, and culture in the choices they make.
Each message brings a story to sit with, a question to wrestle, and a practice to try...small steps that open big doors of connection.
Even if you already stand as an affirming ally, there is fresh vision here. Enough to make the journey worth the ride.
No cost. No fine print. No asterisks.
Just a walk, together, toward the greatest of these:
Love.
YES! Sign me up for the Metamorphosis journey!
Along the way, we'll explore:
- What unconditional really means | How to uncover and remove the hidden fine print we've attached to our love.
- The cost of silence | Why saying nothing speaks louder than we intend-and how to find our voice.
- Signals and noise | What interferes with connection, and how to tune in to what matters most.
- Early steps vs. perfect ones | Why progress matters more than arriving with all the right answers.
- Safe spaces, real labels | How to recognize whether an environment is nourishing or harmful for the people you love.
- The voice in your head | Learning to separate what is truly yours from what was handed to you by tradition, culture, or fear.
- Faith, scripture, and excavation | Wrestling honestly with belief while holding fast to love.
- Moments of pride and presence | What it looks like to show up in ways that speak louder than words.
- Friends who stay, friends who fade | How to grieve losses, honor loyalty, and build circles of true belonging.
- The renovation within | How this journey doesn't just change how you love-it changes who you are.
