Notes on the questions of the faith I’m still living — doubt, trust, weariness, grace. The press gathers trusted voices across the Church’s traditions on one hard question, so you aren’t left to re-invent the faith alone.
You Don't Have to Justify Your Existence
Friend, I have always wanted to prove my worth — mostly to myself, but also to others who could provide a mirror in which to see myself as more than I secretly believed I was. This way of living hid below the surface of everything else but was the force that drove every other behavior. To move beyond this self-salvation, I am learning to live according to these four theological principles:
These four principles are the spine of You Don't Have to Justify Your Existence. They are told as a life rather than a list, with endnotes naming the tradition behind each claim. If you'd rather sample first, the chapter that carries them most plainly is The Weight I Couldn't Carry, and it is free to read on the site. Harvey |

The book is You Don't...
Friend, Ignaria’s public research app has been discontinued. Though it was a useful tool, Ignaria never reached critical mass. It wasn't the sort of tool people returned to daily, and finding a market to adopt it was both expensive and largely ineffective except when customers told their friends and acquaintances. Admitting the business was a bust felt a bit like a heartbreak, and I decided to cut my losses on the few thousand dollars and probably a couple of thousand hours I'd invested. Not...
Friend,Three in the morning, and I was simply awake. I wasn't worried, wasn't afraid. This has been happening more since we moved back to Tennessee. So I got up and reached for a novel instead of something useful, then my Bible, then a question I couldn't shake. Usually, I'd use the early hours to create something useful. And by useful, I mean something I could sell. I always have that drive to provide. But lately, I've felt a bit like I'm treading water, with something weighing me down. So I...
