Thoughts
& Theology

with Rick Beck­man.

Meet Rick

I lived Chris­tian­i­ty (as a Bap­tist → Nazarene → Pres­by­ter­ian → Brethren). Then I tried putting it behind me (as an athe­ist).

Yet here I am, years lat­er, unable to escape thoughts about Chris­tian­i­ty, and believ­ing that so much in our world could be bet­ter with bet­ter under­stand­ing of it.

I’m a father, a fiancé, and kind of a dork, but I over­think every­thing, per­haps espe­cial­ly faith!

Why read here?

Respect

No imper­son­al ads, no inva­sive track­ing, no pop-ups, no nags. I kick it old school around here because the new school inter­net treats vis­i­tors like a com­mod­i­ty.

You aren’t.

Honesty

I’ve been earnest­ly attempt­ing to under­stand the Bible since just about the start of the mil­len­ni­um. I’ve been wrong plen­ty. I may be wrong now. Let’s find truth togeth­er.

Genuineness

If you’re annoyed by how fake every­thing seems thanks to influ­encer cul­ture and over-zeal­ous search-engine opti­miza­tion and AI-gen­er­at­ed con­tent, then we have that in com­mon. All my con­tent is mine, not the machines’.
