I’m working with a team at our church putting together songs for Lent. Each day of Lent there will be a song with some theological reflections. These will be songs that express brokenness, grief, connection with the world, and mortality.

Always on the watch for that pesky squirrel

Occasionally good things can be found on Facebook.

“When male pastors call on us to recover something called “biblical manhood” I suspect they're not thinking of the silent, loyal Joseph submitting himself humbly to his wife’s God-given calling.”

If you live in Michigan or surrounding states, this is a great deal for the best pasties around. #Pasties #UP #Yooper

My 10 year old just said that I was “beefy” and have “pecs of steel.”

I don’t know if I should feel flattered or urgently schedule him an eye exam.

Historians in the time of the early church were horrified about this new religion that empowered women and the poor.

How on earth have we taken that reputation and instead insisted Christianity is about being manly and subjugating women? It's beyond me.

I find that Christians aren’t upset when you quote Scripture & say that we should “lift up the voices of the unheard.”
But when you start identifying who those voices belong to, then many of them do get angry. Because those voices don’t agree with their perceptions of reality.
Who are those voices in America?
Immigrants
Disabled
Bipoc
Women
The poor
LGBTQ
“Those leftists! I hear them everywhere!” They cry in disdain.
Hearing is not listening.
This is how a day off from work should be spent. #doglife
#Introduction I'm Noah! I'm a seminary student (MABTS) at Covenant Theological seminary and youth director at Hanover Valley PCA. I enjoy all things #theology #biblicalstudies #churchhistory related. I'm interested in NT studies and currently researching authority and submission in Colossians. I am married to my high school sweetheart and have two lovely children under three.
Here’s an offish Mastodon #introduction.
I’m a #writer & #artist in #Houston, writing on #faith for outcasts & misfits. Many would say I’m in the #deconstruction camp, but I didn’t grow up in the church so have little experience w/ that.
My bachelor’s is in #behavioralhealth & I had a one day hope to create a #traumainformed ministry at the #Acts29 church where I worked, but that whole mess went sideways & now I write on abuse & trauma in the church.
Thx for reading.
