This week I had a chance to speak with @karenod.bsky.social, a leader of the @feministtheology.bsky.social vanguard. It was a blast. We may have even decided in real-time to co-edit a volume on something. Full conversation at: personalistmanifestos.substack.com/p/radical-sp...

Thanks @drempel.bsky.social, and DM if you want some articles/book suggestions I can send that might be helpful.

My colleague Joel Korytko and I had such a fun time talking about Genesis, civilization, and the city, we had to break up the conversation into THREE parts. First two available now. Third part? Dropping next week. personalistmanifestos.substack.com/p/genesis-ci...

I’ll tell ‘em it was deepfake if need be. 😉

Well, whatever state you two were in, it brought about prophetic lucidity! 😂

What does faithfulness in a moment of geopolitical flux, tension, hostility & war look like?
