What Is Christendom — And Why Is It Suddenly Everywhere?
I’ve been hearing a certain word a lot lately. Not “Christian nationalism” — we…
Grace in the Margins
Maybe you love Jesus but don’t recognize the Christianity you were handed. Maybe you’re holding your faith with both hands and a lot of questions. You’re in the right place.
I’m Hope Turner — a faith and culture writer, published author, and MA in Biblical Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary. I write about the places where faith gets complicated and grace shows up anyway.

You’re tired of choosing between your faith and your questions
You believe in Jesus but you’ve been told your doubts are dangerous. They’re not. They’re the beginning of something real.
“
You’ve been hurt by the church but haven’t given up on God
There’s a difference between the institution and Jesus. This is a place that holds both of those things honestly.

You want faith that engages the real world
Justice, immigration, trauma, politics, mental health — if faith doesn’t touch these things, what is it actually for?

About Hope
I write about the hard, true things.
Most nights, when the lights go out and everyone is asleep, I wrestle. With the parts of faith that don’t resolve neatly. With the ways Scripture is harder than I was taught. With the question of whether the church I love can be honest about the harm it has sometimes caused.
That wrestling is where this blog was born. Not as a place to perform spiritual certainty, but to document what honest faith actually looks like — doubt and devotion together, theology and trauma held in the same hand.
I hold a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary and have spent over ten years in ministry. I’m a published author, a ghostwriter whose work has appeared in Forbes and Entrepreneur, and an SEO content strategist for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations.
