Enjoyed Why I Am Protestant, author @bethfelkerjones.bsky.social. Lots of good stuff in it, an honest and loving instruction on the Protestant church, and the universal church. Among other lessons, what I learned from it helps me find more grace in my spirit for the church, if that makes sense.

Friends, I'm excited that my new writing retreat in workbook form is out in the world. Let me know what you create with it. amzn.to/4q3jHX3

Mary’s ‘yes’ was not a footnote. It was God honoring a woman’s consent so fully that salvation Himself waited upon it. Patriarchy calls consent optional. God calls it sacred. #advent #annunciation open.substack.com/pub/bethfelk...
