Today, in my normal role as Associate Rector, I had the privilege of preaching and presiding at the Eucharist. This week, in light of the decisions made by the SBC, the denomination that raised me and taught me to love and study God’s Word, the gift was particularly meaningful.

I just finished this haunting book from @Profkins . Tightly argued history leaves the reader challenged to think and live and exegete faithfully. A must read.

I'm incredibly grateful for the support I've received. I entered the week under a heavy writing deadline. Once that Hebrews commentary is submitted this weekend, I'll be able to express my gratitude personally and properly.

On a long drive to a retreat, I listened @BethMooreLPM ’s memoir. I laughed out loud, wept, slapped my steering wheel in agreement, and was led into prayer and worship. I am so grateful to have begun this time with her powerful testimony of God’s undying goodness.

I appreciate the desire to show that sex is part of Christian discipleship, but this article misinterprets intercourse, confuses male pleasure with Christ's sacrifice, opens the door to the oppression of women and the false idea of God as a sexual male. @butlerjosh @TGC

I respect the conscience of those whose exegetical conclusions are different than my own, but my prayer is that women everywhere will have access to resources so they can discern this question for themselves.

I so appreciate @bethfelkerjones years of work on theology and bodies, resisting random and oppressive symbolism: "Bodies can matter as bodies. Bodies can just be what they are: good because created by the Good Creator, beautiful, a way to connect to God and to others."

My husband surprises me with romantic things sometimes, but yesterday, because he is our church’s liturgist, he surprised me with a proper preface. It certainly fit the Scripture text for the day, but it also ministered to my heart and soul. I was teary as I got to proclaim it.❤️

Curious about the arresting image on the cover? It's an icon of Mary and Jesus in the midst of the burning bush. In the icon tradition it was communicating Mary's virginity, but it was the perfect image for the book because I argue the Incarnation teaches us how to name God.
