I am so grateful to the brilliant & incredibly kind Dr. Lynn Cohick for this endorsement. Go check out her podcast, The Alabaster Jar! It’s awesome!! Oh, and feel free to pre-order my new book. That would be cool too.

My word for 2025 is Release. For two reasons… 1) I have 2 books scheduled to RELEASE this year. 🎉🎉🎉 2) It’s time for me to RELEASE a lot of pain, anger, & sorrow that I have been holding so tightly. Do you choose a word for the year?

This low-key made my day. I didn’t even post the bit where they called me “Chaotic Cupcake Scholar,”which actually sounds like my perfect brand.

When people who visited my church would ask me “Do you allow women to teach?” (Normally after a woman had just taught) I would respond “no, but we do empower them to.” I don’t allow someone to teach. I merely recognize their giftedness and God’s call on their life.

Me: *glasses on, nose buried in the book of Judges, scribbling notes about trauma* My 22 yr. old paramedic daughter: Hey Mom, wanna watch Hot Frosty? Me: *immediately on the sofa with a blanket & hot cocoa* No regrets.

I was asked if I could turn my ETS paper on the Levite’s concubine, trauma & the corruption of religious authority into a book. And I said no. Then I said maybe. Now I have a new document open on my laptop. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Today’s mission…baking cupcakes to take to my daughter’s fire station tomorrow. So. Many. Cupcakes. And a buttercream tsunami.

Came home from a wild, amazing & inspiring conference week to this… (also came home to a pile of copy edits & emails but let’s not talk about that).

I’m trying to look professional & credible among my fellow scholars, but when I sit down my feet don’t touch the floor. Short girl life.

I was told last night by someone who almost didn’t recognize me that I should have warned y’all that I’m wearing my glasses at #ets24 #sblaar24. Long story, but at least I won’t walk into a wall…hopefully. So here’s your warning…and the fit for the day.
