He gets Christians to pay his room and board while he picks fights with college students and releases videos like an intellectual snuff film. This is not “apologetics” and it sure as hell isn’t evangelism.

Christianity is not about man glorifying God. It is about God glorifying man.

Integrity, Trust, and the Freedom of the Soul: Field Notes from the Christian Tradition
Classical Christianity understands freedom differently than modern culture. Freedom is not the absence of pressure, nor the ability to keep everyone comfortable. Freedom is the capacity of the soul to remain aligned with truth—especially under strain.
This is why integrity matters. Integrity is not moral rigidity; it is interior coherence. When a person acts against conscience to preserve peace, approval, or calm, something inside fractures. What emerges is not peace, but anxiety masquerading as harmony.
The Christian tradition has always warned about false peace. Christ Himself speaks of bringing a sword—not to glorify conflict, but to name the division between truth and illusion. Peace that requires silence in the face of distortion is not peace at all.
This understanding of integrity illuminates faith itself. In John 3:16, the word translated as “believe” (pisteuō) does not mean intellectual agreement. Even the demons believe and shudder. Biblical belief is closer to trust.
To believe is to rely. To grab the life ring. To step onto the bridge while still afraid. Faith is not convincing oneself of propositions; it is entrusting oneself to Christ amid uncertainty and fear.
Seen this way, moral integrity and faith are not separate projects. Both concern alignment with reality. Both require discernment. Both involve resisting coercion—whether social, emotional, or internal.
The saints speak often of serenity, not because life is calm, but because the soul is no longer governed by false demands. Silence, restraint, and boundaries are not failures of love; they are sometimes its most faithful expression.
Freedom, then, is not something granted by circumstances. It is something cultivated through truthfulness, trust, and the refusal to surrender one’s conscience for comfort.
I loaded a picture of myself into ChatGPT, and the result came back and it looked just like me! Amazing!

“Boyd Camak is a lay theologian whose work offers a distinctive and profound synthesis of classical existential thought, liberationist concern for justice, and the deep sacramental mystery found in patristic Christianity. At the heart of his vision is a radical claim: Christ’s hidden kingdom breaks into our ordinary, often painful existence through embodied, material participation—supremely in the sacraments—offering the only escape from existential death and the path to authentic solidarity with the suffering.“
