Starting at the age of twelve, Smithwick began working with his father and mentor, the legendary steeplechase jockey, A.P. Smithwick. Patrick worked his way through college by exercising Thoroughbreds at the major East Coast racetrack and by competing in steeplechase races at Belmont Park, Monmouth Park and Saratoga, as well as at hunt meets, such as The Maryland Hunt Cup and the Grand National. He received a Bachelor of Arts from Johns Hopkins University in 1973 and a Master of Arts in Creative Writing from Hollins College in 1975. In 1988, he received a Master of Liberal Arts from Johns Hopkins University, and in 2000 his degree in Education for Ministry. A newspaper writer for several years, Patrick began teaching English, philosophy, photography, and journalism at both the high school and collegiate levels. In addition to his trilogy of memoirs–Racing My Father, Flying Change, and Racing Time–he has written The Art of Healing: Union Memorial Hospital and Gilman Voices, 1897-1997. Patrick lives with his wife Ansley, formerly the Associate Head of Oldfields School, on the Monkton horse farm where he was raised. In his latest book, War’s Over Come Home (TidePool Press, May 16, 2023), Patrick departs from the horse-centric themes and subjects of his Racing Trilogy and focuses on his family’s plight to reunite with his war veteran son, Andrew.

Michael Camp is an author, podcaster, faith deconstruction coach, amateur historian, and a former conservative evangelical. He spent 25 years as an evangelical missionary to Muslims, an aid worker in Africa, and a leader in conservative/charismatic churches before experiencing a huge faith shift. His specialty is drawing on history to help people deconstruct from conservative Christianity and reconstruct Jesus' subversive path of peace without religion. Michael runs a deconstruction support group and a Religious Deconstruction Workshop that sheds light on historical views of the Bible, church, and salvation. Moreover, it introduces cognitive/philosophical techniques that make faith deconstruction easier. He also facilitates empowerment projects for the poor in East Africa thru his local Rotary Club in Bainbridge Island, WA. He lives near Seattle with his wife Lori where he hangs out with grandchildren, hikes and bikes the Pacific Northwest, and plays bad rounds of golf.

Spiritual Director, Speaker, Writer, Soul Friend, & Coach

I have been a speaker at The Wild Goose Festival (3 times), The Embrace Festival, The Lion and The Lamb Festival, and Christianity 21. I’ve blogged for Elephant Journal, Huffington Post, and now primarily for Patheos as “The Holy Kiss.” I’m the author of Discovering Fire, and Kissing Fish, and am the administrator of the Kissing Fish Facebook fan-page. I am also a contributing writer for the John Shelby Spong weekly newsletter “Progressing Spirit,” and serve on the Board of Directors of ProgressiveChristianity.org

I am an experienced wedding officiant (including premarital counseling), and help grieving families celebrate and remember their deceased loved ones through personal and meaningful funeral, memorial, and celebration of life services.

Those things are nifty, but I’m just a human—a fellow human being who’s learned many things the hard way in life. I turned 50 three years ago and experienced a text-book midlife crisis as part of that transition. I've taken deep dives in a wide range of spiritual practices and personal development work and am committed to helping others in life.
