Study

My doctoral work stands at the exact intersection this site is named for: artificial intelligence and spiritual formation. The guiding question is older than the machines: man was made in the image of God, and now man makes machines in his own image. What does that mean for prayer, for attention, for authenticity, for the soul of a person formed in a world of screens? Along the way the work has passed through the theology of icons and digital mediation, the doctrine of theosis, and the book of Daniel.

I am a builder before I am a writer, so essays appear here when the building produces them, not on a schedule. The first: An Orthodox Ordering of Life’s Resources, on what freedom, time, energy, attention, knowledge, relationships, and money become when they are ordered toward theosis rather than self-actualization.

A series of visual studies rendering the architecture of the Gospels: their language, structure, and patristic readings, drawn as maps and panels. The full gallery will live here.
