Byrd in Your Box is a spiritual sauntering of sorts, throwing my darts as I look for solidarity in the true alternative community that makes up the followers of Jesus. In that, we don’t accept the sentimental and the curated. We name the ugly and hunt for the beautiful. As Frederick Buechner put it, we tell the truth: the gospel as tragedy, comedy, & fairy tale.

The search is ours, and the revealing is Christ’s. It’s always a gift.
