Good: celebrating our 19th (!) wedding anniversary. Bad: went and saw Captain America: Brave New World. Boring movie, but the collaborative rant/critique afterward was awesome. #TwoGeeks

A brief round up of things I’m reading in print and on the web. This entry includes: Bethel McGrew, a new podcast on art and theology, Oliver O’Donovan, and an exciting announcement about Charles Hackney’s Chosen by the Sword. catechistsquill.substack.com/p/scribbling...

“The year is 2005. Twitter doesn’t exist. We’re all texting each other on our Nokias and BlackBerries because the iPhone hasn’t been invented yet. YouTube is in its infancy. And some guy named Zuckerberg just purchased the domain name facebook.” open.substack.com/pub/charlesh...

Valentine's Day in our house includes Babylon 5.

In this installment of the Artistic Journey through the Life of Christ, we’re looking at works by Lu Hongnian, Gustave Dore, Duccio di Buoninsegna, and Rembrandt. catechistsquill.substack.com/p/an-artisti...

Argula von Grumbach, Lady Eleanor Davies, and Lucy Hutchinson walk into a printing house. A brief reflection on how these women used the printing press to advance their writings. catechistsquill.substack.com/p/the-role-o...

A restful afternoon of writing and research. Worked on a book review, prepared material for next week's class on the transition from the Elizabethan Settlement to the Jacobian period, did some initial reading for an upcoming sermon, and worked a little bit on the novel. #WritingIsRest

A book on church planting, a friend’s reflection on Spotify’s AI roundup, and my son’s first attempt at a screenplay. Just some of the things I’m reading this week. catechistsquill.substack.com/p/scribbling...

Who are your theological mentors? open.substack.com/pub/catechis...

Have you ever tried to create a genogram of your theological influences as a way of reflecting on those scholars, writers, pastors, teachers, and friends who have shaped your thinking? catechistsquill.substack.com/p/you-can-ha...

For those of you who appreciate geeky research-inspired humour: open.substack.com/pub/charlesh...

A helpful essay for educators. open.substack.com/pub/everythi...

"You can have dead mentors” changed how I read books. They were no longer textbooks, they were formative friends who were pointing me to go deeper in my relationship with Christ, cheering me on in my studies, and inviting me to journey with them on their adventures in knowing Jesus more."

"I brought the activity to my students, and they jumped at the opportunity. I was so impressed with my students’ notes. They didn’t write pithy notes. Instead, each one took their time and wrote thoughtful, engaging, and extremely pastoral notes." catechistsquill.substack.com/p/lived-theo...

"In reading Ramsey’s books, I discovered that I had found a kindred spirit: a pastor-theologian who loves art. And, as those who have been in my office know, Rembrandt specifically holds a special place in my life." catechistsquill.substack.com/p/van-gogh-h...

I continue to be both impressed and nourished by this book: “Assurance is more than just providing evidence; it is about eliciting trust.”

I've got another sneak peek at my current writing project up over at The Catechist's Quill this week: catechistsquill.substack.com/p/to-what-ar...

A new podcast to add to my queue: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... From the description: This podcast explores the correlation between faith and art--specifically, cultivating a sacramental imagination for creative practice.

Another excerpt from the book I’m writing: open.substack.com/pub/catechis...

“Discipleship is a participation in continued grace as we are cut to the heart by the gospel and respond by gladly giving back to the Lord what he has given us: our lives.” Dan Alger

Theology 101: If you hear your friend say, “Salvation is going to heaven when we die,” nod, smile, and add, “And awaiting the redemption of our body in resurrection unto eternal life in the new creation.” Friends don’t let friends be Gnostics.

I disagree with so much of this especially these two points: davidroseberry.substack.com/p/faithful-i...

My husband has a new short story up on his site. Be sure to check out "the story behind the story" at the end of the post. charleshackney.substack.com/p/deceivers-...

This book is on my pile of spring reading.

Sigh. I tried it too. And sure enough, this is the response that Google's AI overview put at the top of the Google search:

Appreciating Alger's book on Anglican church planting.

School is back in session. Latin 1 is starting into “Villa et Hortus” in LLPSI, so of course Calico Critters must be involved. #ClassicalEducation
