Minister. Fueled by coffee. Theology reader.
PVD to RDU. Spoiled Pats & Celtics fan.
We have to offer people in our churches more than just repackaged pop psychology.

I put off reading glasses for far too long. Game changer.

Why is volume 16 of the Church Dogmatics Study Edition the only volume out of print? Been looking for one for years now

From my experience working with college students, deconstruction is less a rejection of Christian doctrine itself than a frustration with doctrine as exercised in very narrow streams of the tradition.

Students lacked exposure to the rich and broad roots of the Church.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

Rejoice and be glad because great is your reward in heaven.

Just a UNC grad and die hard Pats fan trying to make sense of my sports worlds colliding like the time Elaine started hanging out with Susan.

This is crazy.
not only does murdoch own bible gateway, he uses your bible reading habits to determine your "preferences, opinions and emotions” and sells that info to whoever he wants.

If you're interested in Bonhoeffer, please read this. Also, make sure to check out the biography written by @charlesmarsh.bsky.social. Bonhoeffer is such an important figure for this moment and it's crucial to understand him rightly.
"There no such thing as a Bonhoeffer Moment" -- my new reflection on how best to read Bonhoeffer right now:
There have been many appropriations of Bonhoeffer’s story. I’m grateful for this helpful reflection grounded in his real and complex history, from @vjbarnett.bsky.social:

Why are the roads and highways in NC so poorly lit? Driving around Cary and I feel like I'm in the woods of Vermont

In what can only be described as a massive parental failure, my children are currently watching Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Sequel.
