Following Jesus ✝️𓅦𓅦𓅦
Self-professed followers of Jesus the Messiah on Nostr. Protestants, Roman Catholics and Orthodox welcome. (No LDS or JWs)
A Good Day of Building
Reflecting on a day of calm progress, small improvements, and the quiet satisfaction of building something meaningful.
Local-First Software and the Rhythm of Rest
Exploring how local-first architecture reflects deeper principles about independence, resilience, and rest.
The Sabbath and the Joy of Building
Reflecting on how meaningful work can sometimes feel like rest when it aligns with purpose and calling.
Identity Before Platforms
Platform accounts have dominated the internet for decades. Cryptographic identity offers a fundamentally different model where individuals control their own digital identity.
The Return of Personal Computing
Modern software has gradually shifted control away from users toward platforms. Local-first architecture and cryptographic identity may represent a return to the original promise of personal computing.
Quiet Infrastructure Wins
Durable technology rarely arrives through hype cycles. The most important infrastructure is often quiet, simple, and built for long-term reliability rather than spectacle.
Gratitude and the Quiet Work of God
Gratitude often reveals the subtle ways God is working through ordinary moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed.
The Discipline of Gratitude
Gratitude is not merely an emotion but a discipline that trains the heart to recognize goodness even during uncertain seasons.
Gratitude Changes the Shape of the Day
Gratitude does not erase difficulty, but it changes how we experience the day by revealing quiet moments of grace that are easy to overlook.
"The church is the one place on earth where the logic of the world is turned upside down!" Wednesday of Reminiscere 2026
If you want to be great, you serve. If you want to be first, you become a slave. This is the exact reversal of every human ambition, every human calculation of worth and status and advancement. The church is the one place on earth where the logic of the world is turned upside down, where the last become first, where losing your life is the only way to save it, where dying is the way to live.
Nostr Authentication Is Simpler Than OAuth
Modern authentication systems have become extremely complex. Nostr-based authentication offers a radically simpler approach built on cryptographic signatures.
Building Continuum
Continuum explores a local-first environment for managing Nostr identities, signing events, and preserving durable authorship.
The Identity Layer Is the Next Infrastructure War
Identity is quietly becoming the most important infrastructure layer of the internet. Password systems and platform-controlled identity models have reached structural limits. Cryptographic identity — especially systems like Nostr — introduces a fundamentally different approach where users control keys and services verify signatures rather than storing credentials.
Building With Keys: A Practical Roadmap for Sovereign Systems
A practical guide for founders, consultants, and technologists who want to implement cryptographic identity into real-world systems without rebuilding everything from scratch.
Sovereign Identity and the End of Account Lock-In
Account-based platforms create dependency. Sovereign identity dissolves that dependency by separating identity from platform. This article explores the structural implications of portable cryptographic identity and why this changes how software businesses should think about user relationships.
The Consulting Layer: How Nostr Authentication Becomes Revenue
Nostr authentication is not merely a philosophical alternative to email/password systems. It is a structural shift that opens practical consulting pathways. This article outlines how cryptographic identity, when implemented correctly, becomes a revenue-generating architecture for businesses that want lower friction, stronger security, and long-term digital sovereignty.
🔒 Nostr as an Authentication Layer for Consulting Engagements
Email/password authentication is insecure and liability-heavy. This article outlines a practical model for implementing Nostr-based cryptographic login in consulting environments.
🔒 Replacing OAuth with Nostr in Enterprise Workflows
OAuth centralizes identity in Big Tech providers. Nostr decentralizes identity to the individual. This article explains how to integrate Nostr authentication without rewriting enterprise systems.
