Ministry of the Abiding Spirit

"Tying the Room Together, One Soul at a Time."

About the Reverend

Capt. Rev. James Bruehler, D.D, Ph.D..
Ordained April 12, 2022 | Abide University and Institute

Welcome to my quiet corner of the web. I am a fully ordained Dudeist Priest, holding a Doctor of Divinity in Metaphysics. My ministry isn't about uptight rules or aggressive dogma; it's about taking it easy and finding the strike in a world full of gutters.

I am here to help you abide. Whether you need a spiritual sounding board, a bit of eastern-western wisdom, or just someone to help you navigate the "ins, outs, and what-have-yous" of life, I'm here to listen.

My Philosophy:
I believe in the ethos of Dudeism — taking it easy, being true to yourself, and treating everyone with the kindness you'd expect at your home alley.

Note: This ministry is a labor of love. I do not solicit donations, I am not a 501(c)(3), and I seek no profit. I'm just here to spread the Dudeist way.

Contact & Communion

Connecting with the Rev

I prefer genuine, one-on-one connection. I do not use bots, I do not use automation, and I certainly don't do "mass marketing." If we are connecting, it's just you and me, Dude to Dude.

If you have my number and we are conversing, know that our communication is sacred and private.
