Isaac Deitz Working out my faith through writing.
Helicopter Science
I was dating a girl once, I liked her. She was one of the first girls that I’ve ever dated where I didn’t have some fairy-tale story behind meeting her, pursuing her and falling in love with her. I’m a storyteller by profession and I’ve always loved telling people elaborate detailed romantic stories on girls [...]
A Place I Used To Know
Theology is a good thing. But like every good thing, sex, tobacco, alcohol, humor, relationships, water, etc it can be dangerous. The hard part about writing this blog is that people that love theology and seminary are the ones that would least likely take any heed to this and the people that like an [...]
They’re With Me
Without realizing it, I’ve been building up bitterness towards the church and the funny thing is we can always find someone to join you in this bitterness. Get together and talk about all the things that the church is doing wrong, what they need to do and how judgmental they are. Sadly ironic. But whatever, right, they [...]
Music of the Gospel
This year has been the best year of my life when it comes to outward accomplishments and lifelong goals achieved. My career has boomed and I’ve been doing more creative work than ever and it doesn’t feel like I’ve worked a day this whole year. Spiritually, it’s been the opposite, it’s been rough, really rough.

I Will Find You
I will find you lost sheep, even if you don’t know you’re lost, even if you didn’t mean to get lost, I will find you. Even if you are currently lost and want to return but don’t know how, I will find you. Just wait and try not to stray too far, but even if [...]
It’s Not About The Shark
Movies aren’t about the trailer. They aren’t about what the trailer wants you to see. That’s the bait to get you to the theater. When you get there, it becomes about the hero’s goal and his conflict. In storytelling there is inner conflict and outer conflict. A universally relatable story has both. Inception wasn’t about [...]
Cool Among the Nerds
For a long time I’ve been struggling with some doubts of my own. Not doubts of whether or not God exists, etc. But I’ve been feeling my passions for Jesus fading. To the point where I couldn’t read certain parts of the Bible or listen to sermons from people that I used to love hearing [...]
The Gospel According to a Nerd
Being in a the spotlight, even a little, bit seems to require me to have some kind of stance or set opinion on certain things. I think that’s why it’s really important not to put your identity on your fame, status, following, career, friends or anything else. Because once you put your identity on a [...]
Me Too
I’m not sure if my heart has grown more hard towards things that are Christian or that I’ve grown more aware of dishonest Christianity. I think it’s a mix of both. I’ll admit before I keep writing that I’m not in the greatest place with God right now, but I also think this is a [...]
