On the surface, this book may seem very far removed from the events of yesterday. But if you read between the lines, you’ll see this is exactly the kind of vision we need to build beyond the events of yesterday. Highly recommend.

Sometimes having empathy for your neighbours is a radical act.

Demonic powers. Call it what it is.

This new one from John Swinton is short and accessible but packs a necessary punch. A great entry point into his work.

Rupture.

Time for an ICE protest at the Mennonite Heritage Village

All in favour?

Mumford & Sons collab with Justin Vernon? 2011 me would be freaking out right now.

The thesis statement for my course, The God who Speaks, in meme form:

I’m generally pretty low church, yet here I am teaching an intro theology course structured around the Apostle’s Creed and beginning each class with morning prayer from the BCP.

LOL

Simulated phishing attacks are electronic reminders that we live in a fallen world.

"The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy. But from the fracture, we can build something better, stronger and more just." Wow.

Oh good!

Trying to figure out what to listen to on the way to daycare this morning: 2 y/o: “I want paw patrol” 4 y/o: “I want silence” 2 y/o: “we don’t have silence” Truer words have never been spoken.

I really appreciated this conversation with @joncoutts.bsky.social and Erik Freiberger on belonging, AI, and disability theology.

I’m a pretty big sports fan but ngl I didn’t even really clock that the NFL playoffs were happening.

I’m a firm believer in needing scholars in the church’s trenches, and that those leading churches should be always be seeking further education. However, why is it the case that those who *boast* of being at the intersection of church and academy so frequently have the worst takes?

Whatever the result of Trump’s actions, it’s going to take years for America to build up the trust of the rest of the world again.

Winnipeg is the place to be!

This is the way.

This (from Tricia Cooper, Debbie Patterson, and Tyler Sneesby) looks great. See you there on Tuesday night?

The Jets are so back.

We love to see it.

Fantastic read on NHL dads.

🎶 Welcome to the Jüngel, we’ve got fun and hermeneutical extensions of Barth’s doctrine of revelation 🎶

About to get Anderson-pilled (this is @collincornell.bsky.social and @natewall.bsky.social’s fault).

TIL that David Booth and Milan Lucic are both playing on the same professional hockey team in Scotland (Fife Flyers).

Why is it that the people writing “Soli Deo Gloria” on their posts are often the most “hey, look at me!” people out there?

Don't miss this webinar with @janebarter.bsky.social tomorrow! cssrscer.ca/resources-ne...

This is so stupid.

I’m assuming that everyone who likes this is going to join us this year, right? Right???

There’s never been a better year to join the *Canadian* Theological Society.

Still time to submit a proposal for CTS 2026. cts-stc.ca/2025/11/14/2...

Tonight.

New one for me today: used the word “schekjbenjel” in a sermon.

Me after the Jets finally win two straight:

It’s the Society of Christian Ethics’ Annual Meeting this weekend (I’m not there), which reminds me of the time I attended where a senior scholar chairing my session waited until the end of the Q&A to ask me how my proposal could work when disability was necessarily equated with suffering.

The Gavin McKennada sweepstakes are on.

Growing up, we were taught in school that Canadians and Americans were the best of friends, evidenced by the largest unprotected land border in the world. So forgive me if I still am struggling to wrap my mind around threats to our national sovereignty.

Exodus 1 tells the story of a foreign people growing in power and the ruling nation oppressing them out of fear of the other. Let the reader understand.

Grifters gonna grift.

I printed this out and put it up in my office as a reminder both for my students and, more importantly, myself.

Playing with a working definition of theology for an intro course tomorrow. Thoughts? What do you like? What am I missing? “Theology is the prayerful study of the living God, revealed to us in Scripture, for our ongoing worship of God and love for the world.”
