Welcome to Grunt Works' digital FOB (Forward Operating Base) for the spiritually scrappy and the righteously fed up.

Martinalia is where holy misfits, grunts, and good troublemakers gear up for the work of faith, conscience, and post-combat resurrection.

I am Logan Martin Isaac: former grunt, philosopharmer, and full-time thorn in the side of empire. This space is for dispatches from the frontlines of faith and justice, reflections from the field, and tactical guides for navigating the mess between religion and real life.

You won’t find polished pew-sitters or partisan parrots here. You will find:

  • Gospel truth with a field manual edge
  • Theology that smells like sweat, not sanctimony
  • Stories from the rank and file, for the rank and file

On AI & Authorship

Some of the free content here may be drafted with the help of AI. Why? Because I live with a disability that sometimes makes writing a battle—and tech helps me stay in the fight.

But if you're a paid subscriber, know this: you're getting my full attention and unfiltered voice. No bots. No filler. Just field-tested insight from the frontlines of faith and conscience.

Stick Around

Whether you're here to rethink religion, find solidarity as a veteran or Civilian Ally, or just want theology with a little dirt under its nails—you're in the right place.

Welcome to the war chapel. Eyes open, hearts ready. Let's move.
