Enter the literatureThe Bastard Saint
Books, essays, poetry and limited work about the lives people inherit and the freedom they may still author.
I am a writer, Army veteran, father, and the founder of Impossible Everyday. I grew up in Georgia. I served in various conflicts and in various roles, including as a helicopter crew chief. I have survived financial collapse, unemployment, the IRS, and more than a few decisions I would happily prevent another man from making.
I write books. My work ranges from humor in My Angel Wears a Helmet, through masculinity in The Coward’s Roar and Feral Masculinity, to shame in Such Pleasant Smells. 1/1 is coming soon.
The Bastard Saint became the home for that literature. Beautiful Heresy became the public argument. Impossible Everyday asks what happens when an idea stops being something I write and becomes something I have to attempt.
Podcasting frightens me. Becoming publicly recognizable frightens me more. That is precisely why my first FAFO encounter begins there. I do not want to stand outside the premise and sell courage to other people. I want the camera running while I discover what my own prediction was worth.
This is not proof that every ambition succeeds. It is proof that an assumption deserves evidence before it is trusted with a life.
The work
Books. Public arguments. Direct encounters.
The same question runs through all of it: how much of a human life is being decided by beliefs that were never examined?
The argument
Bring Joe inBeautiful Heresy
Public writing and live conversation about masculinity, faith, belonging and the cost of borrowed certainty.
