This is my Father's world: O let me ne'er forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet. This is my Father's world: Why should my heart be sad? The Lord is King: let the heavens ring! God reigns; let earth be glad!

Though still evangelical myself, I have found sacramental and liturgical expressions of faith the most life-giving in light of deconstruction. Little me would have been worried about works-based faith. Fret not!

A deeply enriching few days in Toronto for the ATS Women in Leadership Conference. What a gift to glean from the wisdom of brilliant Deans, Presidents, and other women in theological education.

My 1 Corinthians graduate seminar is reading through Timothy Brookins' commentary and he kindly joined our class today via video call. It is always fun bringing authors to life for students! Thanks Timothy Brookins!

Do you need your own personal angel to assist you? Nope. Not if you have the Holy Spirit. I try to stay in my lane, but when a prominent televangelist turned presidential advisor turns to Exodus, it's my lane. Exodus 23 is not about you. christianitytoday.com/2025/03/paula-…

My grandmother passed suddenly yesterday and today I was set to teach on 1 Cor 15. Tears were shed and students were gracious. The seminary classroom can be such a beautiful place. "Then the saying that is written will come true: Death has been swallowed up in victory." (15:54)

Year 1 is in the books! Here's one of my favorite snapshots.... The last class gathering of Elementary Greek II was spent at a local coffee shop with my pup (by student request).

Elated to share that Dr. Jesse Grenz (Jesse Grenz), Dr. Lynn H Cohick and I are writing a book together! It is an introduction to the apostle's material world and embodied theology. This book is inspired by and dedicated to NT scholar Dr. E. Randolph Richards. #IVPAcademic
