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…
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…
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).

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…
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!
Another year, another pile of books. This year I tried to read a mix of quality fiction and relevant nonfiction but spent much of the year in a reading slog, so if you have book recommendations, please leave them in the comments below and I'll add them to my 2024 TBR. These are the best…
Sagas of Siegyrd is a serialized noblebright fantasy available to read each Tuesday at The Sibilant Sword, a Christian blog devoted to sanctification through storytelling. With grimdark dominating much of the fantasy genre, it’s refreshing to find a story that promotes virtue, one I would be happy to read to my three daughters when they…
