How did I start this journey?
I didn’t begin with a framework – I began with questions
In a moment of severe ilness
Why have we accepted that that the least of us, don’t flourish?
From High School Students
Does technology really help people?
Can technology be good or bad?
In seminary
What would a society shaped by shalom look like?
Or, are societies destined to go the way of empire?
What follows is a seven-part journey — personal, theological, and analytical.
It begins with my story. It moves through the theological foundation, the framework itself, and a detailed look at what flourishing actually looks like. Then it gets harder: real human systems — economic, political, social — measured honestly against that standard.
The Assessments and Spectrum name what the data reveals: every human system is ordered either toward shalom or toward empire. And The Calling asks the uncomfortable question that wouldn’t leave me alone: if you believe this — what are you going to do about it?
This is a living work. The assessments update. Comments aren’t just encouraged — they’re needed.
