Feminist reflections on the resurrected Jesus (a sermon on Luke 24:36b-48)

Hi friends, Last month I had the great joy of being warmly welcomed into a new-to-me church to speak. Plus I got to take a ferry ride to get there, and meet Oscar the Bird King after! At the gracious suggestion of the pastor who invited me to preach, I spoke quite a bit from…

Out there on the web: book excerpts and bonuses, all the Audre Lorde quotes, and more

Hi friends, It’s been a minute (more precisely, since November) since I’ve done an “out there on the web” post, meant to draw your attention to what I’ve been writing in places that are not here. These are a few things I’d love to share with you: New Year New Substack The new Substack is…

Nice Churchy Patriarchy launches today!

Hi friends, It’s today!!! I can’t believe this book is finally out there in the world. A man told me recently – unasked, of course – that publishing a book is like giving birth but harder. This struck me as a confusing mix of kind of funny but also highly offensive to all humans who…

What are you currently learning? (Part of) a sermon on Acts 10:1-23

Hi friends, I recently got to preach at my church on Acts 10:1-23. Peter and Cornelius, what a story. I’d encourage you to take a look at the passage here. The church service is also recorded here (and the sermon starts here around 56:53). The way I see it, there are three main thoughts that…

Two weeks until book launch!

Hi friends, It feels like a bit of a strange time to be launching a book into the world. By which I mean, it’s a strange thing to hold all of the pain and grief and oppression of our world—and especially, currently, of the Palestinian people—while also holding the goodness and joy, the things to…

Reflections on (the beginnings of) a podcasting journey

Hi friends, These days I’ve been spending a fair amount of time reaching out to podcasters to see if they’d like to talk with me about Nice Churchy Patriarchy. I’ve been pleasantly surprised, so far, to find that a) people say yes! and b) being a guest on podcasts is a bit more fun than…

All the authority issues: reflections on a year of Patheos blogs

Hi friends, I recently concluded an almost-year’s worth of weekly-ish blogging with Patheos. I wanted to try to sum up the journey here—including lots of links, in case there are posts you haven’t seen yet but want to check out. Lots and lots of links. You’ve been warned. After kicking off the blog with some…

The gifts no one wants to receive (reflections on a Kirkus Review)

Hi friends, A few weeks back, I submitted my book manuscript (Nice Churchy Patriarchy) to Kirkus Reviews. When I saw last week that their review was ready, I was a little nervous to take a look. Apparently they have a reputation for being “unsparing.” (The good news is that once you receive your review, you…

Calling all with a “Grand Mother spirit”

Hi friends, This week I want to offer you two poems. (Well, one’s definitely a poem; the other is debatable, but it’s not not a poem. So I’ll just be calling them “two poems” for short.) We talked about both of them in the “God, Gender, Power” class I’ve been facilitating at my church for…

Out there on the web: women in the book of Daniel, church expulsion, climate crisis & lament, and labor exploitation in church

Hi friends, Hope the end of this week finds you ready for a restful weekend. I’ve been reading Trica Hersey (aka the “Nap Bishop”)’s book Rest is Resistance, and it certainly has me thinking about what it looks like to steal away moments of rest, reflection, daydreaming, and napping throughout the week. Not just because…
