this channel is equal parts the bible project, school of life, nerdwriter1, and shut up and sit down. by that, i mean that this channel aspires to combine tim mackie's wisdom and christcentered worldview with the emotional and philosophical insightfulness of alain de botton's video catalog. this framework is then applied to media that, i deem, has merit beyond mere entertainment (in this way, the videos on this channel will present like one of evan puschak's video essays). i admire how the board game videos of quintin smith and co. provide a warmth and companionship, one that makes it feel as though you are sat at the table right across from them (i hope you'll hear their influence in my colorful and playful metaphors). this in mind, my videos aim to discuss the very things worth sharing a cup of coffee over or exploring on a long walk with a friend. all things told, this channel is a response to the things that inspire me most and the things in life that are worth a second look.
