August Pause 2026

Time for a breather. Back in September.

I take an August and a February pause every year. My writing pace is intense, and so these regular six-week breaks let me step out of the publishing routine, refresh myself, think more, and explore ideas I don’t normally have time for.

I’m in the garden, sitting in the shade, looking at the golden grass, wondering if the rain will ever return to the South Downs. The heat itself feels like a reason to pause, to slow down and not rush about. It creates space to reflect.

Since March, I’ve continued exploring Full-Strength Christianity, and that series will continue to run from September.

I’ll also continue my series ‘The Technological Christian’, which examines technology from a Christian perspective and asks how believers should engage with it.

I started a new series of personal reflections on the Psalms this term. I have found this to be especially rewarding and will likely continue to publish these.

I’ve also started to produce monthly PDFs. The first on how I read the Bible, the second on Anglofuturism philosophy, and the most recent tackled whether the Bible actually claims the Earth is 6000 years old.

During this August break, I’ll focus on finishing my book on the Beatitudes, aiming to have it out before Christmas.

And after finishing my two-year series on the history of King Alfred, I plan to turn it into a book too, possibly releasing it in the new year..

When I return in September, and finish the current two series, Full-Strength Christianity and The Technological Christian. I’ll begin an extended series on the Charismatic and Pentecostal churches. I’ll be examining where they go wrong, with particular attention to spiritual abuse.

In addition, I’ve been asked to write a series on Mormonism, which I’m looking forward to exploring in depth.

I’ve noticed a new SubStack feature that lets writers tailor sections of an article for non-subscribers, free subscribers, or paid subscribers. I’ll be using this more. So, if you’re not subscribed to Tower of Adam or my other Substacks, you’ll see less of what I produce. I’d encourage you to subscribe.

At the Tales of Old England Christendom SubStack, I will begin exploring and defining Anglo-Saxon Christianity. The aim is to see whether the framework of that earlier Christian age can offer useful depth and insight for Christians today.

Over August on AngloFuturism BLAST, I plan to finish the short series on culture concluding with whether we live in a fascist society. I will also continue the series on the traumas of Great Britain. Alongside these, I intend to write a 10,000-word AngloFuturism arts manifesto. I’ll publish this as a free PDF for subscribers to this SubStack, probably in the Autumn.

Agloria SubStack will still remain the home for my miscellaneous ideas. In the coming term, I will use it to look at Christian mysticism and connect that work to the series on Charismatic and Pentecostal movements.

I will also continue to write about my philosophical idea, Relationalism. The argument that relationships possess an identity of their own beyond the individuals involved. In what might appear to be a strange move, I will see how this relates to business and organisational theory. A PDF on the subject is likely to appear in the New Year. And if it proves to be popular, I’ll look to write a book on it.

The PDFs that I am thinking of doing in the new term will include one on the Anglo-Saxon Saints and how they can inspire us today. I’ll also be looking at where the Trinity appears in the Bible.

I plan to do one on the contradictions in the Bible too, and how to view them. And then one on the implicit astronomy in the Book of Genesis. I have already written about this in my Heavens of the Hebrews book, but this will be a briefer analysis of my arguments.

Finally, I’m investing in a 4K camera. I’m planning to start creating video content again. I stopped about 2-3 years ago. I enjoyed it, and saw my Instagram account grow quite a bit, but it never translated into growth on my SubStack. This was a time before Notes, so I’m going to publish them here instead.
