Here on Rapture Day, I should tell you about my $3 ebook that includes an 80-page "the Rapture happened, and a group of ex-evangelical young women were left behind" novella, spinning off of my novel. Only available here:

Again already? That's awesome. I have prepared a complete history of the Rapture leading up to Tuesday's Rapture:

Feel like this is one for @jasonkirk.fyi and @vbs.bsky.social

Rewriting history is one thing. Folks are trying to rewrite the present now.

Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and keep the door of my lips. (Psalm 141:3)

"Maybe today will be the day it happens" — like half the verses from Isaiah through Psalms or vice versa

I’d like to highly recommend @vbs.bsky.social at this time, where Jason and Emily discuss the parts of the Bible that mention feeding the hungry and taking care of the poor.

Trump's insistence that he wants to try to get to heaven feels to me a huge exemplar of what is inherently problematic with western expressions of Christianity: that it is transactional, it's about results, it's about the endgame. Jesus' call to follow is an ACTIVE call. It's rooted in the present.

Can I tell you about a far more influential Creator

"The Bible that Dobson weaponized against millions of us tells us in dozens of ways that it is OK to feel good about evil people running out of chances to inflict evil. It also tells us there is no better revenge than refusing to pay hatred forward," writes @jasonkirk.fyi. sojo.net/articles/opi...

Christian 1: well, we did it. No more pagan gods. A universal faith Christian 2: sure is buddy. The holy gospel. God's truth. Just the father, the son, and the holy spirit. Who of course proceeds from the father and from the son Christian 1: the fuck did you just say

I had a lot of fun talking about something I don’t understand or want in my life at all!

sipping coffee, listening to the VBS podcast

Downloading the Good News

VBS is back! And they're talking about fighting bears! Seriously though, this podcast has been extremely informative and entertaining as they read through and contextualize the Bible. Bonus points if you have any roots in 90s/00s Christian music and pop culture.

NEW VBS LET’S GOOOOOOOOO

Finally!

I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: You can now listen to a podcast episode about volcanic wizard battles and magically rematerializing nightmare women and the world's worst bear shaman and more

Hey Bluesky, wanna talk about religion lol - New episode! TWO HUNGRY BEARS VS 42 YOUTHS with @edsbs.bsky.social ! - Also: Where the name Beelzebub comes from, why Elijah was indisputably the greatest athlete of all time, defending yet another allegedly evil Bible lady, and more!

And no I won’t be endorsing anyone from the pulpit.

POV you are Moses:

That's not what my youth pastor said

OK enough doomscrolling for me here’s TikTok favourites

Job:

According to Genesis 12:3 and Numbers 24:9, Ted Cruz must support anything that goes by the name of "Israel," whether or not it has anything to do with the small, brief, and ancient kingdom that went by that name. This does not explain his cursed support of Texas sports teams

How about you Switch 2 studying the Holy Bible

Can I tell you about someone whose message will never destruct

Come on down to the podcast church for people who like and/or hate church and/or have no idea either way

All this talk about the throuple from hell but no one is talking about the throuple from heaven. That’s right, motherfuckers. We’re pivoting to the holy trinity.

I just started this podcast and it’s a lot of fun. I grew up non denominational and minored in religious studies at UT; I appreciate the perspectives here.

Can I tell you about someone else who flew

The prophet Elisha while balding near two bears:

Happy Mother's Day to God

That's right folks, listening to the podcast counts as church attendance. Your personal records have been updated with a gold sticker

Couldn't agree more. There might be a pop quiz or something

I think the new pope should be you

"The pharaoh’s chariots have been cast into the Red Sea." — Exodus 15:4

Biblical scholarship and wine advice, what's not to love?

The podcast is back. Emily is very annoyed by King Solomon, and @pastortrey05.com shares with us the wisdom of minds such as Jesus and Bomani Jones

can't say I care for the NKJV translation
