Issues related to transgenderism and gender identity is about REAL people first and foremost.
My two cents about the backlash and outrage over the halftime show for Super Bowl LIV featuring JLo and Shakira.
Introduction Vocabulary words. And language. The bane of my academic existence since 6th grade. For each each quiz/test, I had to memorize 20 words and their pronunciation, parts of speech, definition, spelling. UGGGGH. And then came the tests; we would have to take a test almost every other week about said cohort of words to … Continue reading Embodied: Chapter 2, Ten Thousand Genders

I read the preface and resonated with some of the concerns that Preston mentioned from his interactions with his LGBTQ+ friends. Important sidebar: YES! It is possible for Bible-believing Christians to have genuine friendships with people who identify as LGBTQ+! Back to Preston’s story. He recounted a conversation where he was smoking cigars with his … Continue reading Embodied: Preface

Can … Continue reading An Open Letter to White Evangelicals
What a floating dumpster fire 2020 was.
The Bible indeed is living and active (Heb. 4:12). All Scripture is indeed breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16). Some Scripture passages are super applicable, and I can think of no book that provides a framework for what living a godly life looks like … Continue reading Proverbs Tapas
I’m going through one of those “read the Bible in a year” plans so I can remain consistent in the word of God. On Sunday, I read Mark 15 (the false trial, the true death of Jesus Christ on the cross, and his burial). There are times when there’s a Bible verse or passage that … Continue reading “Took courage”
