Video Shorts #1: How does the gospel reclaim Eve? Mary Magdalene’s story

Thanks to the good work of videographer Ryan Schnurr. These two-minute video shorts work for individual […]

On writing too loudly (or awakening the prophet within)

I am getting better as a writer at penning a sh&*%* first draft. Thank you, Anne Lamott. I guess when I really think about it I’m not as afraid as I used to be about writing too loudly. I mean, life can be tragic and hard, people, and writers have to talk about it. It […]

Book Look: Q&A with author Elisa Morgan, The Beauty of Broken

Welcome to a new feature on the blog. I’m planning to occasionally interview authors who are expressing their Christian faith and their theology through writing books.

The man behind the woman

He shovels the driveway, cooks amazing meals, makes plans and suggestions for both of us to avoid inconvenience and hassles, and rises while it is still dark to meet with Jesus. Left brained, he is. Fixated on numbers, strategies, and troubleshooting. Right brained, I am. And capable of driving the wrong way for 45 minutes […]
