Darrell McGowan, the author behind this blog is a Southern California writer, pastor, funeral celebrant, and father. Yes2RedPill, the author’s screen name, is a reference to The Matrix – specifically, the scene where Neo chooses reality (the red pill) over the fantasy most of humanity lives (the blue pill.) Darrell is a progressive Christian pastor serving First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in downtown Fullerton, CA, USA. He passionately pursues helping people find deeper meaning and purpose in life. These writings are a byproduct of the author’s commitment to live a deeply reflected life based on the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. You are invited to share these writings as widely as you choose and requested to give credit to their writer, though Darrell is delighted to know his words have been helpful to others, whether or not any readers remember his name.
