The more I followed Jesus’ upside-down logic, the more I realized something was amiss. Something was definitely off. So I started digging. The article drops tomorrow, 7 a.m. Subscribe tonight to get it in your inbox. evolvingchristianfaith.substack.com/

Years ago, I thought I knew what the Christian Testament said about hell. Then I started reading it more carefully. You might be surprised at what’s in there. Tomorrow's article drops at 7am CST. Subscribe to get it in your inbox. evolvingchristianfaith.substack.com/

Tomorrow's article begins with six words that may make you uncomfortable: "𝙈𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪." Not to a form of certainty. Not to another dogma. Not even to my theology. But to something far more important. Subscribers get it tomorrow morning evolvingchristianfaith.substack.com/

Most theodicies ask "How can a loving God allow evil to exist in the world." My theodicy now asks a different question... "What if God is the Cause of Evil?" Tomorrow at 7 a.m. Central, I’m publishing the most challenging article yet in my series, "Giving Birth to God"

At what point does faith lead to...

The liberation that Jesus brings isn't just a metaphor for spiritual liberation.

Twelve years ago today, this wee lad entered his home as a three-and-a-half month old puppy. That makes today one of the highest and holiest days of the year in this household. Happy Gotcha Day, Loki

The highest and holiest season of the household has arrived! The Birthday Extravaganza is March 16th, 17th, and 18th. It celebrates the birthdays of Loki, Annabelle (passed), and Lugh. Loki (the white one) is officially 12 years old today. Official birthday pics to come.

𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙫𝙪𝙡𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚. But it's in those times that I get to experience the care and support that comes to me through my community. Grace is not some abstract concept. It's a Reality we embody in our flesh and blood. It's who we become when the need for it arises.

When I finally realized that I was an expression of the Divine Depths, the power of the revelation wasn't felt primarily as a sense of personal connection with God. The power of the revelation was felt primarily in the sense of connectedness to all things in and through God.
