Really enjoyed being in a #SBLAAR24 panel on gender and Revelation. My paper highlighted how men in our field continue to undercite women and gender minorities. It was striking (or not) how few men were present for the panel.

If you're going to be at #sblaar24 and would like to have a chat about the work of the Centre for the Study of Bible and Violence (CSBV) or be interested in working with us, I would love to meet with you! DM me or catch me in the book hall!

In our big hurting world this photo from my college kid gives me so much hope. She started helping manage the greenhouse during her first week on campus: today she proudly found these newly grown roots waiting to greet her. Keep rooting and growing, young dreamers everywhere

Pastors, this might be worth following up on. We have a rare opportunity to intervene with young people (and seniors) to mitigate radicalization. Both groups are targets for recruitment. Don’t be fooled by the islamophobic myth that only Muslims radicalize young people. Christian extremists do too.

I know there is a lot of talk about Bluesky being hostile to Gazans (and I know that my post started a lot of it) but I want to say that of all the platforms I’ve been on I haven’t seen a more organized group to defend Gazans- not Palestine- I’ve seen plenty of that other places- but actual Gazans
