Who am I?

First off, welcome to the page. Whether you found this through Instagram or somewhere else, I’m glad you’re here. My name is Ethan Taft. I’m a young man growing in my faith as a Christian and striving to have a positive impact in accordance with my calling.

At times, I feel unqualified and wrestle with self-doubt. But God has set me on this path — to share my journey and help others. So far, it’s been a wild one, full of both pressure and beautiful moments. I don’t have a PhD, a doctorate in Theology or History, and I’m not ordained in ministry. I’m just a person like you — someone who thinks deeply, prays often, studies hard, and asks questions about why and how our world is the way it is. I often see things from different angles than the mainstream narrative.

My ultimate goal is to help Christians strengthen their faith and build an unshakable bond with God. But alongside that, we’re also human beings — fathers, mothers, citizens, members of society. That’s why I also write about history (Christian and general), culture (marriage, discipline, mental health, etc.), and world events (politics, global news, and issues shaping our daily lives).

My hope is that my writings spark deeper thought, encourage reflection, and perhaps help answer questions that have been on your heart.

What do I get by subscribing?

Free Subscribers

If you subscribe for free, you’ll receive occasional public posts and updates. To be honest, not super frequently — because my Instagram already offers consistent free content through carousels and reels. That’s where you’ll continue to find plenty of value.

Paid Subscribers

For $7/month, you’ll unlock another layer — a space where I can go deeper without censorship or restrictions. On Instagram, I face shadow bans, algorithmic throttling, and a character limit that keeps things surface-level. Here, I can speak freely.

Here’s what you’ll get:

  • Expanded daily posts — Each day, I’ll take one of my Instagram carousel topics and expand it with more detail, depth, and sources for your own exploration.

  • Weekly exclusive report — A full article on theology, history, culture, or world events that will not be shared anywhere else.

  • Community access — The ability to comment on posts, engage in discussion, and join a private subscriber-only chat with like-minded peers.

I know $7 a month may not seem like much, but it allows me to dedicate time and focus to pursuing this work with excellence. It keeps me independent — free from brand deals or outside pressures that could water down the message.


This is more than content. It’s a mission: to equip, challenge, and strengthen others to walk faithfully in a confused age.
