I’m so glad you’re here.
This is Choosing Human—a newsletter about faith, family, and the future of being human.
The world is moving fast. Technology promises progress, family life feels noisy and rushed, and even the meaning of being human is up for debate. This is a space to pause, reflect, and choose a different way: a fully human way of living, rooted in God’s design for our bodies, our families, and our future.
What You’ll Find Here
I write in three streams, all connected by a single vision: how to live fully human in an accelerating world.

About Me
I’m Samantha Stephenson—author, podcaster, and fellow pilgrim. My work has appeared in Public Discourse, Crisis Magazine, and Our Sunday Visitor. I’m a Paul Ramsey Fellow in bioethics, and I host Brave New Us, a podcast in the top 2.5% globally with over 30,000 downloads and climbing.
Join the Journey
Every week you’ll receive reflections that invite you to slow down, dig deeper, and live more fully human. Some weeks that looks like a prayer at the kitchen table; other weeks, it’s a big question about the future of biotechnology.
If you want clarity, grounded hope, and a vision of life that cherishes our humanity, you’re in the right place.
I’m honored to have you here. Let’s begin.
AMDG,
Samantha
