My name is Levi Spires. I’m a follower of Christ.
I’m also writer and Uber driver. Each ride is a log for the fire, the fire that's burning inside me to make human connections and tell stories.

I drive strangers every day. People wanting to journey from A to B. Maybe looking for a rolling sanctuary. Maybe looking for a conversation. Maybe a little of all three.
And I wonder to myself, what is happening to the world? What changes are about to come?
