Happy International Women's Day!
In celebration, I'm making a youtube video about Deborah! One of my hobbies is watercolor painting, so I'm starting a series called "Bible & Watercolor" where I record myself talking about the Bible while painting!

Christmas is a time to remember that God draws near to us, sees us, and hears us.
Last month, I attended the ETS, SBL, and AAR conferences for biblical scholars! I heard so many interesting papers and met so many brilliant people.

Asking “is ______ a sin?” is misses the point.
You’d be hard-pressed to find the word “sin” used with an indefinite article in the Bible, cuz sin ain’t really about a list of rules.
Sin is the destruction of shalom.
The point ain’t to avoid “sinning.” It’s to not live in sin.

My Substack post for April & May is available! Boundary Breaker: Table Fellowship explains that by eating with "sinners," Jesus redefined the boundaries of who would be considered in or out of the community of the People of God. Link in comments!
There are opportunities for pastors to be pastored, but it's rare for lay leaders to receive that kind of spiritual care. Thankful. /end
As a female volunteer in complementarian spaces, I've done a lot of the work of pastoring without recognition or support. I didn't expect my cup to be filled, but here I am, full, loved, and cared for.
Waiting at the airport, heading home from a pastor's conference. I went to network which went well but I wasn't expecting how healing it would be. 1/
