Next up: Berkeley

Very excited to share that I’ve accepted the position of Visiting Professor of History and Theology at Virginia Theological Seminary. Grateful for my time at Yale & giddy about this next chapter.

Prepping to teach the theology of Jane Eyre with my Brontë Sisters’ black tea blend on a rainy day

My interview with the one and only Krista Tippett is live! You can listen to it by looking up The Leader’s Way on all the podcast apps, and you can watch it with video on Spotify and YouTube. Are mystery and gentleness what we need right now? Listen to find out.

At the airport Starbucks, they gave me a mocha instead of a latte. The way I see it, the chocolate found me in a time of need, and I can’t be blamed.

To teach is to learn, my friends. Teaching a workshop on contemplative prayer, I was told of the practice of prayer coloring! If you need me, I’ll be here with my markers until further notice.

It’s about the little sparkles these days, like a student baking scones for class

Trying to balance valuing spaciousness with the demands of late-stage capitalism and career advancement. Send help.

Standing before a room full of seminarians is so humbling. My students are some of the most incredible people I have met, and I have so much respect for them and their vocations. The semester is off to a strong start with students grappling with questions of what (whether???) Anglican theology is.

“This has been my favorite class that I have ever taken.”

Too relatable. I have similar pictures of me holding a printout of my MPhil thesis and holding my PhD thesis and … I do not look the same 😅

Yes and Amen!!! 🙏

My cat, an idiot: Those ornaments look exactly like my toys. Why can’t I play with them?

Me, pinnacle of animals: That felt frog wearing a top hat is to celebrate The Lord

After being a Gregory of Nyssa nerd for many years, I’ll be physically attending my first NAPS conference this year - who will I see there?

It’s beginning to look a lot like … Nellie

Big yay to this!

42: Immigration and Apocolypse with Yii-Jan Lin Professor Lin tells us all about her new book Immigration and Apocolypse: How the Book of Revelation Shaped American Immigration.
