I preached Sunday that empire begins by attacking a nation’s memory. Pharaoh’s first move in Exodus 1 is forgetting. 3 days later came the plan for warning signs outside the National Museum of American History. Before laws change, the story changes. Forget the immigrant, then fear their children.
Empire Begins by Attacking Memory: When the News Caught Up With the Sermon
Empire begins by attacking the nation’s memory. Pharaoh’s first move in Exodus 1 is not enslavement but forgetting. Three days after I preached it, the Times reported the plan for twelve warning signs...

Four years ago I posted about @carenote.app. A spiritual director friend wrote back: "If you ever want to build something for spiritual directors, I have some ideas." #buildinpublic
Today the thing we built together is out. It's called Directee.

Almost 40 years after I first visited colleges, I’m doing it again with my daughter. Colleges have a lot to say about what their education will do for her, their ROI. I’m increasingly interested in a more important question: Who will she become? #college #tours

Phenomenal: College Tours, Formation, and Who We Become
Touring colleges with my eldest, one question keeps going unanswered in every admissions presentation: who will she become as she studies there?

At a housing training this spring, a presenter walked us through the math behind building a small affordable project–it reframed how I think about the whole debate. I wrote up a little reflection on what I learned, including the question I can't stop asking: who is going to close the gap? #a2council
Affordable Housing Is Harder to Build Than We Want to Admit
Affordable housing isn't built by demanding it, it's built when the math works. A look at the financing gap behind every project, and who closes it.

Continuing to enjoy the SaaS journey, especially now that @carenote.app has reach my short-term financial goals. Customers are invested, it's easier to sell to new customers, and AI has been a huge multiplier for me personally. #buidinpublic

Looking for solopreneurs between $1k–$9k MRR to connect with. It can be lonely building @carenote.app. I’d love a regular connection point with others at or just past this stage of business growth. DM me if interested. #buildinpublic

I spent 40 minutes in a future 11-year-old me could only dream about: an autonomous robot writing code using only my voice. I built a way to talk to Claude Code while out on a walk. Since starting to use CC over the past month, I was worried I'd always be tethered to a desk. That fear is gone. Wow!

I did something hard today. I announced CareNote v6 and emailed 400+ users a sneak peek of what’s next. A lot of anxiety released. v6 is a ground-up rebuild—faster, more secure, more capable. One timeline. One place. One system. Built to hold care better. #buildinpublic
CareNote v6: One Timeline, One Place, One System
CareNote v6 unifies notes, updates, and reports into one interaction timeline. Rebuilt privacy, email intake, and SMS-first care coordination.

Hey 🏗️, Just finished an onboarding call, it was recorded and is being transcribed, mined for insights, and accessed by AI sales coach for next steps. This is the world I've wanted to make sure I stay on top customer onboarding and engagement. So nice! #buildinpublic

Hey 🏗️,
Finally, have my internal CRM up and running with daily tasks. I just completed the first task generated by my CRM. It’s nice to see all my trials and leads in one place and to know exactly where they are in the sales funnel—and what my next step is to close them. 🙌🏾 #buildinpublic

Hey 🏗️, Playing around with agentic coding tonight. I created something really beautiful. We processed 171 customer calls—transcribed, classified, extracted pain points and promised features. And then the agent refreshed and wiped the database without a backup. $115 and hours gone. #buildinpublic 😤

Hey 🏗️,
It’s been a wild 24 hours. I lost a sizable new customer yesterday, which stings even though you understand it. Then today, I gained a customer worth more than 3x that amount.
Building a SaaS is an emotional ride🎢. The swings are real. #buildinpublic

I’m feeling grateful today. I’m finalizing the terms for our church to receive an interest-free loan to pay off our mortgage.
It’s the result of a lot of behind-the-scenes work, relationship-building, and persistence. I created the conditions that made this possible and I’m extremely proud of that.

I built a command today to auto-generate my CareNote release notes. Since I use commit messages as my release log, AI can read and summarize them into a blog entry. And it worked—I can now automatically create the content I used to do manually. 🙌🏾 #buildinpublic
