What happens when you create a space for honest questions, deep faith, and thoughtful conversation, and commit to showing up every single week? In this episode of Whiskey and the Writings, I’m looking back on our first full year together. We talk about why this channel exists, what worked in 2025, what didn’t, and what I learned along the way. From church hurt and doubt to growth, discipline, and community, this has been a year of wrestling with faith in the open. I also share the numbers, the wins, the struggles, and why consistency mattered more than going viral. And most importantly, I walk you through what’s coming in 2026, including in person conversations, interviews, and new ways to engage beyond YouTube. Whiskey and the Writings is a space for the spiritually curious, the skeptic, the seeker, and those who still believe but maybe not like they used to. If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t fit in church but still care deeply about faith, this space is for you.
