Welcome to Reforming Thoughts!

This site exists as a place to think deeply and honestly about things that matter.

Theology. Faith. Identity. Struggle. Hope. The world we live in—and the world to come.

The name Reforming Thoughts is intentional. It reflects a conviction that our minds are not static, nor are they neutral. We are always being shaped—by Scripture, by culture, by experience, by pain, by the past.

If we are not being conformed to Christ, we are being conformed to something else.

Reforming is both a theological commitment and a personal one. It points to the long tradition of the Reformation and Reformed theology, where sola Scriptura, grace, and the gospel stood against distortion and drift.

But it also points to the slow, sometimes painful work of God renewing our minds, reforming our thoughts—pulling us out of patterns we didn’t even know we had, helping us see clearly what we once could not.

As a second-generation Vietnamese American, a theologian and former pastor, and someone deeply shaped by both trauma and grace, I write here from that in-between place—between cultures, between past and present, between what we confess and how we wrestle to live it out, between the already and the not-yet.

This space is for reflection. For wrestling. For growing. For reforming our thoughts. For those who want to think with nuance, feel with honesty, and believe with conviction.

And above all, it is for those who long to see everything—our stories, our wounds, our identities, our theology—reformed and transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
