I'll keep this short and sweet since I'm sure most of us have been inundated with news of the horrific murder of conservative and Christian Charlie Kirk, but I do think there's a lesson here to be learned for those of us in the church. I'm not the first and I won't be the last…
The Rebellion of Korah (Numbers 16:1-19) 16 Now Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, who were Reubenites, took men 2 and rebelled against Moses, along with some of the Israelites, 250 leaders of the community, chosen from the assembly, famous men. 3 And they…
Recently, I had a video pop up in my YouTube feed about a young Christian woman who decided to wear only dresses for 30 days and document her journey. The title had included something to the effect of the process being "life-changing." Of course, sucker that I am, I clicked. Since that video, YouTube has…
I know, I know. It's weird. It's speculative. It's often meandering and not entirely straightforward or cohesive. But it's my first attempt at writing a sestina, let alone a double sestina, and I make no apologies. For those unaware, a sestina is a kind of circular form of poetry, characterized by repeated end words in…
I always thought this would happen to someone else, but never to me. Even now, in the aftermath of my first miscarriage, there's a surrealness to the whole thing. Surely, part of it is some built-in self-preservation, the abstraction of misfortune, the distancing of oneself from unsavory realities. Death, pain, loss--these things befall others. These…
Recently, New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho dropped a recruitment video, enticing young men to join their academic ranks. For those who haven't seen it, I'll link it here. The video is fairly boilerplate in what you'd expect from Wilson and Friends. There's the nod to Christian Nationalism (a movement rife with exegetical error),…
Is this blog sinful? About a year ago, Allie Beth Stuckey asked a similar question of her podcast. Her question stemmed from 1 Timothy 2: if women are not permitted to teach or exercise authority over a man, then is it sinful for her to host her podcast? This question is obviously pertinent to this…
In light of the recent events that have taken place within the Southern Baptist Convention, I thought it'd be a good idea to talk more deeply about biblical gender roles. Before we begin, I want to make it clear that this is not a post about the SBC specifically (particularly since I'm not affiliated with…
Breath prayers are certainly not the only form of prayer a Christian should utilize, but merely another means by which we can commune with God.
My brother (over at The Sibilant Sword) recently started a YouTube channel titled, "Don't Hear What I'm Not Saying," and while being a clever name for a channel dedicated to tackling theological confusion, that phrase also encapsulates so much of the communication breakdown we face in the church. As many of our readers know, our…
