Welcome to Cultivated.This is the starting point — an introduction to what this is, how to read or listen, and a little about the faith I grew up in (the one so secretive it forgot to name itself). Whether you like to follow things in order or prefer to jump around, you’re in the right place.

Each chapter is a breadcrumb, a fragment, a piece of the story — because that’s how memory works, and honestly, that’s how my brain works too.

Mentioned in this episode:

The rules (no TV, no jewelry, no pants)

The feeling that leaving would cost you everything

Glossary + References for the curious (workers, conventions, and more)

How to subscribe and why sharing helps

Why this is not a retirement plan

However you got here — I’m really glad you’re here. Thanks for being curious.Link to First Episode:01. What Am I Now? I’m cultivated.
