This past summer I did my CPE internship as a hospital chaplain. The mother of a patient was fraught and I spent time with her. She told me she makes handmade ceramics and spent 20 minutes showing me pictures, which made her calm and feel at ease. Today, I was surprised with a gift from her.

As I’m finishing up seminary, one of the things I wish I had on campus during my time was a regular Bible study. Not a Bible study where we apply textual critical methods and insights from the original languages, but one where the text was alive and speaks to us as the still speaking Word of God.

After months of searching, I finally found a new, still in the box, large print NRSV thinline! This copy is really special to me because it is 12 point font, exactly the size I need in the pulpit (I’m an old school Baptist in that regard). Anything below 12 point is getting harder to see. ⚓️

My two mildly hot takes for today: 1. It’s okay to read other translations besides the NRSV. 2. It’s okay to believe in penal substitutionary atonement.

No Other Land—the documentary reporting on the destruction in Masafer Yatta in the West Bank—is hands down the best movie I’ve seen all year. It is gut wrenching, it is tear-jerking, but we are called to bear witness to the genocide in Gaza.
