For those saying, “the vaccine permanently alters your DNA” —

There is absolutely no direct evidence of this. None. It’s an absurd claim, and honestly, it’s incredibly unhelpful — especially for the many people who got the shot and now realize they made a mistake.

There are already major flaws in our current understanding of genetics, so what we’re really dealing with here is unproven assumptions stacked on top of other unproven assumptions.

It’s wild to hear these kinds of claims coming from people in the natural health community who also say, “Your body is far more capable of healing than you’ve been led to believe.”

Our beliefs have a huge impact on our biology — and most of you know this.

Why would you condition them to believe their body is permanently broken, their DNA is forever changed, and they’re a ticking time bomb? If your goal is to help those who’ve made a mistake, why not help them remember the brilliance of their body? That alone makes the case for avoiding vaccines in the future.

Received this comment on Facebook:

“You definitely throw nuggets, doc. That said, what's with the click-bait post template here?
The bait itself is very questionable, as well.
"Real, in-person"'... and you've got an APP for that? "The way" sure LOOKS like it's through your bank account. No, I won't go there just to verify my instincts. You're grifting during The Apocalypse! Truly shameful and disgusting behavior. Your type of shill is a dime a dozen, nowadays. We see you. I see you. Yes, I'm calling you out.”


Here’s my reply:


Addressing this one time only. Using this lovely comment I received as an example:

I can tell by the way you’re commenting that you’re not here to have a real conversation, so this is for others who might see this exchange.

The word grifter has a pretty specific meaning: someone who intentionally deceives or manipulates people for personal gain, usually by pretending to believe in something they don’t.

Are there actual grifters out there? Of course. People selling stuff they know doesn’t work, preying on fear, faking their values just to cash in.

So I’ll just ask—what exactly am I misleading people about? What have I said that I don’t stand behind? What values have I claimed to hold that I’m secretly betraying? If you can’t name that, then calling me a grifter isn’t just wrong—it’s slander.

What’s wild to me is how fast people in the so-called “freedom” crowd are to throw around words like grifter or shill the second someone charges for their work. We all say we want to leave the old system behind, build something new, operate from sovereignty and value exchange—but then turn around and shame or attack people for creating something and asking to be compensated. That’s not freedom. That’s the exact kind of communistic ennoscriptment we’re supposedly trying to move away from, right?

Anyone who follows me closely knows how much I already give away for free. And yeah—I’m absolutely going to use my voice to share about the platform my team and I have poured our hearts into for the last 3 years. You’re damn right I am. I’m proud of it. I believe in it. I think it’s an amazing solution for the countless people in the health and freedom space who feel lost, disconnected, and alone. It’s a real shot at building something from the ground up.

You also mentioned in the comments that I could be “gathering a list of dissidents.” If you seriously think it’s more likely I’m doing that on my small, values-based platform—and not the massive tech companies running AI-powered surveillance systems with sophisticated user-targeting algorithms 24/7—you’re high as a kite. That’s literally why we built our platform behind a Private Membership Association. Our membership agreement exists to protect the people in our space and keep bad actors out. That’s intentional.

I believe in this platform so much because I need it too. Yeah, I’ve got like-minded friends across the world, and we link up when we can at events—and I’m incredibly grateful for that. But I live in Texas, and within a 30-mile radius—among 250,000 people—I still haven’t found a local, like-minded community. But I’m willing to bet a lot of money they’re out there. Sure, I could drive an hour-plus to Austin and find alignment—and I’ve got great friends there—but that’s not local. That’s not sustainable community. I’m a perfect example of why I built this—and I believe in it deeply.

Also, you mentioned “The Apocalypse.” I agree. The old paradigm is collapsing. But if we’re going to build something better, we need to actually support the people doing the building. That’s the whole point of the platform—to help people connect, collaborate, and create real alternatives.

And honestly—if you expect me to work for free while supporting a wife and three kids, just to earn your stamp of approval? You’re not someone I want in our community anyway.

Hey y’all! Just wanna clear up some confusion:

Listing your business, farm, school, health practice, etc. is TOTALLY FREE. You can do that here: https://thewayfwrd.com/directory-registration/

To join as a member (man or woman—not a business), the base level is $50 annually (a little over $4 a month): https://thewayfwrd.com/join

If you’re looking to sign up for both, you have to use two separate email addresses (we are working to fix this, but it’ll take time).

So amazing seeing this member map continue to grow (across the world!)

Helping like-minded people find their community.

Hey, y’all—

I’m considering launching a 2nd podcast, where it’s just me sharing my thoughts. That’s it. Recorded on my iPhone (most likely at night when I’m lying under the stars). Episodes ranging from 2 minutes to 60 minutes, depending on what’s on my heart and mind.

Obvi I have my other podcast, but I feel called to share more of my own thoughts as well, in a much more raw way. I love writing, but I feel that some of the deeper expression is lost (at least for me).

Does this sound like something worthwhile? Totally cool with a “no thanks—just focus on your current podcast!”

“The elites control everything.”

Oh yeah? Did they control your ability to be consistent waking up and going to sleep with the sun, meditating, praying, putting your bare feet on the earth, moving your body, breathing deeply, feeling your feelings as they arise, eating real foods, drinking coherent water, questioning your conditioned beliefs, being aware of your thoughts, feelings, and emotions, being aware of how you speak, limiting time on soul-sucking devices, telling the truth, living authentically, spending time with those you love, being present, and living a life of purpose while expressing gratitude for the God of all creation for providing you this beautiful experience?

Every fucking one of those things is totally in your control. You control everything.
