Belated #sblaar25 post: I had the privilege of reviewing this wonderful book by @jeremiahcoogan.bsky.social, @candidamoss.bsky.social, and Joseph Howley at this year’s conference. It was a pleasure to read and you should definitely check it out!

I did not take as many pictures at #sblaar25 as I have in the past, but it was still a great conference. Love getting to hear exciting new ideas and meet up with friends (new and old). See you next year in…Denver? I think?

Nothing like arriving at your gate 2+ hours early. Wonder if that will get me to #sblaar25 any faster?

Something something. Alt-ac weekend. Something something.

If you’ll excuse me, I’ll just be over here telling him he’s fearfully and wonderfully made while the world yells out that he’s a problem to be solved.

Packed up some of the office tech to create this mobile podcast recording studio. Worked really well for its first time out! Looking forward to continued recording-flexibility in our future!

A little rack rebuild is good for the soul.

Living my best alt-ac life (in a shirt I swiped from our keyboard player when she wasn't looking).

Wrapped up a book review today (VERY late). It's...pretty critical...

I did not have "9yo son becomes obsessed with classic Britany Spears" on my 2024 bingo card, but here were are...

(For context, a Tenacious D cover of "...Baby One More Time" is on the Kung Fu Panda 4 soundtrack.)

May his memory be eternal.
Opinion | Pope Francis, dead at 88, was a pontiff for the 21st century
Jorge Mario Bergoglio becoming pope was a singular event, likely not to be repeated in our lifetimes.

Got to play this limited run (1 of just 300) beauty today. Was tempted to bring it home but didn’t. I’m counting that as great personal growth.

Pleasantly surprised to see this a few weeks earlier than expected. Congrats to @christycobb.bsky.social Kat Shaner and all the contributors. Looking forward to digging in.

RIP my women's bracket. Between NC State's loss yesterday and ND's loss today, I just lost my whole national championship matchup. 🤦‍♂️

Rep. Al Green is, thus far, the only person in that room doing their job…

11 years ago today I accepted an offer to join the PhD program in New Testament/Early Christianity at Loyola Chicago. Seems like yesterday (and also like a million years ago)...

Another Saturday night doing the alt-ac thing. But this time I'm on guitar, not on the sound desk.

Always fun getting new gear on the desk.
