If healing doesn’t stop empire, if love doesn’t save you, if the vow gets you killed, what is the point? RIP Alex Pretti

If God is rain on your hair, is there still no God? I promise I’m not trying to convert you!

I left church because I love God. Why is it important to have conversations about the Christian God?

I have a difficult time with the word “healing.” #exvangelical #disabilitytheology #disabilityadvocate #liberationtheology #chronicillness #progressivechristians

Through my work in trauma theology, Holy Saturday has become an important day to me, both as a motif for existing in between life and death, & as a day in which to dwell not rushing to the resurrection. Not all things are resolved in victory. Trauma can be explored in this liturgical space

I have a 12th stellium so…it unearthed a lot of triggers and I’ve had to confront reliving my traumas a lot, learning the difference between past and present reality. Grew a lot. not without cost.

Mildly terrified about it moving into my first house 🫣🫣🫣

Post X-odus intro: I’m a writer, calligrapher, teacher, director, & mystic queering divinity here as I write my book, Trash Abbey: a journey to transform what we call holy in everything religion has taught us to reject & fear.

I want so desperately to tell you about the #queer #disabled #menstruating #ugly #brown God that I call Christ. I want so desperately for you to feel safe in your skin. I want to relieve the pressure to name your longing.

What book on #disability, #disabilitytheology, #queertheology, or #queertheory is on your holiday wish list? Especially if you already have a library copy that you are resisting marking on.

If cultivating attention is prayer, on these apps demanding no more than your short attention spans, how do we utter holy things?
