Welcome to The Lure by Damon Garcia.

Who am I?

I’m a writer and speaker, and I help people reclaim and expand their imagination by giving a liberative perspective of spirituality and society. When we cultivate a radical imagination we can build a world that’s more free, compassionate and creative. You can read my work here in my newsletter, and watch my videos on Youtube and Instagram. I also wrote a book called The God Who Riots: Taking Back the Radical Jesus (Broadleaf Books, 2022), and I’m working on another one now.

What’s this newsletter?

This newsletter is based on the conviction that God communicates to all of us equally through a mysterious divine lure. Nobody has more access to God than others. Some of us are just paying more attention.

So let’s expand our imagination and cultivate a sensitivity to the lure. Our response to the lure is the embodiment of God in the world through the holy work of liberation.

Join me on this adventure of learning to respond to the lure to a build a world that’s more free, compassionate and creative.
