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?
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…
Why I’m Not A Complementarian
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…
What are Breath Prayers? (New YouTube Channel)
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.
Describing the Elephant in the Room
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…
Tuning to Truth: Conspiracy Theories and the Church
We recently had a gentleman tune our piano. When my husband called to make the appointment, the gruff voice on the other end of the line said brusquely that he was the best and the most affordable and that we needn’t bother calling anyone else. It wasn’t a boast, just a simple fact. Over the…
Sacredent®’s Natural Family Planner Available Now (or Later)
Picture this: It's first thing in the morning. The baby's crying. There are older kids to feed, showers to take, clothes to fold, and the dog still needs to go out (you hope he hasn't made a deposit on the rug). Amidst all this, you're looking down at that fuzzy little blue plus sign, thinking oh, no, not again. We get it. God's timing can be awfully inconvenient.
The Immovable Object: An Easter Poem
This, the paradox: What happens when An irresistible force Meets an immovable object?
If You Like Shai Linne… (Christian Hip Hop Recs)
These artists have been redeeming a genre typically associated with the worst types of worldliness. This is not an exhaustive list of all that's good in Christian Hip Hop (CHH). There are plenty of other great Christian artists in the scene (e.g., Caleb Gordon, Json, S.O.) but these are just the ones whose sound I…
Hypermasculinity is a Problem in the Church
This blog as a whole is intended to address women, but this excellent video from Gavin Ortlund over at Truth Unites easily applies to the discussion of gender (biblical expressions of both male and female) within the church. Dump your cultural ideas of masculinity. Christ is the ideal man!
