What is Faith Over Factions?
Faith Over Factions is a place for solo believers, lapsed Christians, and church-engaged followers who want to grow deeper in grace, truth, and daily faithfulness. We are committed to Scripture-centered living without theological jargon, religious division, political agendas, or heavy-handed traditions. Our mission is simple: grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18).
Who is Faith Over Factions for?
We welcome anyone seeking authentic connection with God. Whether you're journeying alone, wrestling with disillusionment, or deeply rooted in church life but longing for more, you have a place here.
You don't have to fit a mold—just come willing to grow.
Why do you use the New Living Translation (NLT)?
We use the NLT because it faithfully communicates the original Scriptures in clear, natural language. Our heart is to make God's Word accessible, personal, and alive for every reader—whether you're new to faith or have walked with Christ for years.
Do you belong to a specific denomination?
No.
Faith Over Factions is a resource ministry that operates independently of institutional control. We focus on Jesus Christ and Scripture, not on any one group's traditions or labels. Our heart desire is to operate within our core principle that Our unity is in Christ alone, not in human institutions. > Read This Post
Was Artificial Intelligence used in creating this site?
Yes.
To put it simply—ChatGPT is my typewriter. Every word you read here is shaped by my own voice, theology, and lived experience. For over 20 years, I worked in parallel roles across church and corporate spaces—writing Bible studies, teaching classes, and serving in media ministry, while also working professionally as a technical writer, digital content creator and web manager for a Fortune 500 company. This background grounds the content, while AI helps organize and accelerate the process. What you’re reading comes from me—AI just helps me get it onto the page.
To support this project, I trained GPT on my past materials, tone, and INFP personality profile. The AI helps structure and streamline my thoughts, but each post is reviewed, edited, and refined by me before it’s ever published.
Because of a significant visual impairment, this tool allows me to bring what’s inside—what God has placed in me—to light more clearly and efficiently. It’s just a bridge—not the message, not the messenger.
Can I participate if I still attend a church?
Absolutely.
Faith Over Factions is here as a resource to supplement, not replace, your spiritual walk. We are not a church and do not offer pastoral counseling, or the fellowship of the local faith community. Whether you are deeply involved in a local church or exploring faith outside traditional structures, you are welcome to use and participate in whatever is here.
Is there a community I can join?
Not yet — We are exploring a number of ways to engage our users!
We are carefully building an online space for prayer, encouragement, and faith reflections where grace, growth, and safety are prioritized. Until then, you can engage through reflection comments, and our social media channels (YouTube, Facebook Page).
What kinds of topics do you cover?
We explore themes like:
- Overcoming fear
- Standing firm in troubled times
- Growing compassion over contempt
- Living out justice and mercy biblically
- Navigating faith when institutions fail
- Personal spiritual practices for daily life
Each reflection is rooted in Scripture, grounded in history, and focused on living faith out practically.
In addition to these reflections there is the Road Of Redemption Bible survey series that focuses on bringing scriptures to life in a way that focuses on contemporary relevance and personal growth in Jesus Christ. Grab a new Journal and get ready to reflect!
Are political comments or debates allowed?
Absolutely Not.
To protect the heart of this community, we do not allow political debates, party promotions, or divisive rhetoric. We seek unity in Christ, not in earthly movements. Such comments will be treated as spam and rejected from the moderation que.
How can I get involved?
Start by reading and reflecting with us!
You can:
- Join the Reflection Series on our blog.
- Follow along on social media.
- Share your thoughts in comment sections.
- Watch for updates!
Is Faith Over Factions™ a commercial venture?
Nope.
Faith Over Factions™ is a ministry project, not a business. Everything here is offered freely to encourage faith, reflection, and deeper walk with God.
At times, books or other resources containing expanded reflections from this site may be made available for purchase at a nominal price from eBook platforms such as Amazon Kindle. This helps support the work and widen the reach, following the biblical principle: "You must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads out the grain" (Deuteronomy 25:4, NLT; see also 1 Timothy 5:18).
Additionally, A Patreon account will be available for whoever desires to support the work. However, no one is ever required to buy or give anything to participate, learn, reflect, or grow with us. Grace is freely given—and so is this space.
