I've launched a Substack with Broadview!

A new partnership has landed on Substack! I’m delighted to share Wilderness Times — a collaboration between Broadview and, well, me.

Many of you will have read some of my op-ed pieces published by Broadview before. My latest one dropped just yesterday.

Wealth on that scale is never earned — it’s extracted, writes Rev. Bri-anne Swan

I remain especially grateful for their coverage of my relationship with Ramiro Gonzales in the lead-up to, and the aftermath of, his execution last year. Broadview has also offered space to sit with current events that tug at my heart through a lens shaped by my faith in a God who moves towards justice and life.

Wilderness Times is both an expansion and a deepening of that relationship.

And I’m excited for it.

So, what is Wilderness Times?

The world feels messy. Wilderness Times leans into that mess with faith and curiosity. It’s about learning to navigate uncertainty and remembering that the wilderness can be a place of holy transformation. Along the way, I’ll be sharing spiritual responses to fast-moving news, and reflections on justice, hope, and resilience.

By signing up, you’ll receive a new article from me every other Sunday morning beginning November 30 — just in time for Advent! The hope is to increase that rhythm to weekly, ideally by mid-February. Broadview has kindly made Wilderness Times free for everyone, though they’re grateful if you choose to make a tax-deductible charitable donation.

(Bonus: you'll also receive my silly digital collages featuring my darling pigeons!)

I hope you’ll consider joining me in the wilderness. I’ll be far more active on Substack than I have been on this page.

In hope, peace, joy, love, and holy resistance...
