If you’re a vegan Christian who finds yourself in debates with non-vegan Christians, it is helpful to show them that God’s perfect will according to the scriptures is peace and harmony among all creation, which includes a merciful, plantbased diet. That is why I started this video series, to go through the bible and highlight […]
Of all the objections to veganism, I think that one of the most confused ones of all is the claim that vegans “anthropomorphize” animals. Interestingly, this point is misunderstood not only by non-vegans, but by secular vegans as well, and I’ll explain why. But first, let’s define anthropomorphize. According to the dictionary: anthropomorphize
As Christians, our hearts should break for the things that break God’s heart. It seems to me that most people are under some sort of weird spell that blinds them to the unfathomable amount of cruelty and suffering that takes place every day in the animal industries.

(Col 3:2, John 6:27, Matt 6:19-21, 1 […]
One of the core aspects of God’s character is love. The love of God, agape love, is giving and sacrificial. This beautiful, selfless love was demonstrated most clearly at the cross. As believers, we know that while we were still sinners, Jesus died for us. As followers of Christ, we know that we were commanded […]
As a Christian vegan, one of the most common objections to veganism that I encounter when talking to other Christians is, “But man was given dominion over the animals.” So I want to talk about this very important concept that I believe has been deeply misunderstood.
