For months I’ve been investigating allegations against one of the most influential names in Christian rock and the MAGA movement. 2 of these allegations involve minors, two claim they were drugged #dctalk #michaeltait #newsboys

Really enjoyed my conversation with @excompod about the Tait SA allegations: Did ⁦@dctalkofficial⁩ know? Can T make a comeback? Why does the secular media ignore CCM? Why has there been so little scrutiny of predatory allegations within the industry?

A profoundly dirty, sexy, subversive and (in my opinion) absolutely hilarious story I told at the @unsent show. https://t.co/474VJXvgze

Book cover announcement! “On Fire For God” will be on shelves 1/26! The most ambitious, emotionally taxing project I’ve ever undertaken, the story is rooted in American history, yet also unpacks a septic tank of dark memories I’ve never had the courage to speak aloud.

It was such a treat writing this love letter to @denverlibrary for the Spring issue of @denversemagazine Warms my heart that there are still writers, comics, poets, and cartoonists in Denver putting together such a fun, edgy and relevant publication for a local audience.
