Preserving hard-won lessons from one man’s transformational awakening. The Waking Words Project stewards and funds the museum and curates enclosed exhibits so this archive of lived experience, insights, and practices endures.
These exhibits intertwine to form a circle that reflects the founder’s lived journey. To the left: breakings and awakenings. To the right: reintegration and renaissance.
All are preserved with care inside the museum. At center, The Waking Words Project serves as custodian of the legacy—not about a man, but about wisdom worthy of outliving him.
The purest insights and inspiration emerged as one man awakened from a prolonged sleep of inauthentic living. A transparent account of lived experience that reignited his life—one that may create a spark for the lives of others.
Raw and real offered plainly, with transparency, vulnerability, and a commitment to “pay-it-forward.”
What does the way we move through traffic reveal about how we navigate day-to-day challenges in life? WLHWD challenges us to see the road as a mirror—and our driving habits as a path to greater self-awareness.
The Museum’s Chat-Lab exhibit invites us to question how carefully we think and communicate, and We Live How We Drive dares us to examine how we deal with everyday interactions on & off the road.
Explore what our driving habits reveal about our inner world and interpersonal relationships.
PYGMO PRODUCTIONS is the Kids’ Zone (kids of all ages) within the Museum, offering stories, books, games, and projects designed to spark imagination, stretch understanding, and celebrate the joy of learning.
A variety of entertainment & learning resources are currently in development and scheduled for distribution as the museum’s funding efforts permit. Our first offering is the “Have You Ever Wondered?” series—illustrated books that ask big questions in small, delightful ways.
Chat-Lab invites you to step out of the noise and into a different kind of conversation. Not one driven by outrage, algorithms, or culture war theatrics—but by the courage to pause, think, and ask better questions.
Chat-Lab doesn’t offer hot takes. It offers a discipline of inquiry that’s capable of creating the common ground we’ve been missing.
A safe space to explore gender—without dogma or preconceptions. An open-ended invitation to question and listen without forced conclusions. Curiosity, not labels, leads the way as we practice respectful inquiry and hold honest conversation about identity, self-perception, and social constructs.
A candid, ongoing dialogue about Evangelical Christianity as lived by the museum’s founder. The formation of conscience, community, and hope in contrast with fractured trust and identity. This is the author’s testimony—honoring beauty & truth—without sugarcoating abuse or hypocrisy.
Sober reflections on dogma, hypocrisy, and healing—balancing faith and skepticism; the sacred and the profane; and the physical and metaphysical.
An arduous journey of hard-won recovery from deep fracture—a life remembering itself. From the founder’s long search back to truth, identity, and voice. An unfiltered journal that promises insights about moving from fracture to integration—finding harmony after the shattering.
Recounts the grinding, often brutal stages that made progress possible…a metamorphosis over decades that culminated in the transformation unlocked in “My WAKING WORDS Experience.”
Visitors, parents, educators, and fellow-seekers weigh in.
