Faith, hope and questions.
I’m a writer, speaker and editor with a deep passion for justice and for telling stories that help make sense of our beautiful, complicated world.
Blessed are the Undone: Testimonies of the Quiet Deconstruction of Faith in Canada, co-authored with Peter Schuurman, began with a set of questions about the Canadian Church and carries forward the theme of justice that threads its way throughout my work. Since its release, our book has been hitting best-seller status on Amazon in Faith Deconstruction and the Sociology of Religion, as well as Politics and Government.
Kristin Kobes DuMez, best-selling author of Jesus and John Wayne, wrote a Substack post in May 2025 about our book that you can read here!

Canadian Christians frustrated with the Church have come ‘Undone’ and are leaving politely, almost apologetically, in what this book dubs a Quiet Deconstruction. Blessed are the Undone asks: what aspects of faith are being questioned, and why?
Weaving in church history, cultural analysis and their personal stories, Bick and Schuurman use canoe camping to illustrate the twists and turns of the spiritual journey. Whether you feel like you’re up the creek without a paddle when it comes to faith, or if people you love have lost their bearings, this book is for you.
