Creating a safe space for trauma and ND while teaching the historical context of the Bible, specifically about women and gender roles. 🎓 MDiv & MA in Biblical languages and theology
Some scientific studies showed that people need about a 42% rest rate. But, when I did the math, God graciously gave Israel a MINIMUM of a 50% rest rate. 🤯🤯🤯🤯 (It's actually higher most of the time)

This Bible Story Path poster is my most popular item in Etsy - so many people get such use out of my layout and design.
I am looking to get this in as many languages as possible. DM me if you'd like to work with me to get this tool in your language!

Specific archaeological artifacts inspired each figure. They have been carefully designed to reflect the ethnicity and cultures of the Old Testament.
These family heirlooms are not only toys but aim to also be theologically rich, historically accurate teaching tools.
A few years ago I wanted to find historically accurate, ethnically authentic Bible illustrations and toys for my children.
When I couldn't find any, I decided to put my education and research skills to work!
As a result, peg doll sets like these were born!

Lest we think how we treat the weak and vulnerable doesn't matter as much as our doctrine, Jesus begs to differ.
Matthew 25 has a lot to teach about our current climate.
Was honored to be able to speak on the Teach Beyond podcast about the historically accurate nativity!

Learning how to do a proper word study in intermediate Greek has paid off exponentially in the rest of my Bible study and teaching! I 100% agree!

This nativity scene just feels different. Mary surrounded by a community of women caring for her and baby Jesus. The manger near by as it would be in a Judean peasant home. 🥰

18.11.2024 20:58 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0These historically accurate Nativity coloring pages move away from typical presentations of the nativity.
Our coloring pages are crafted to showcase:
-Mary's home birth
-The necessity of women
-The angels as a army
-The Magi arriving when Jesus was a toddler, not an infant
That's amazing! 🤩

Are they going to stand against it in their churches, homes, & communities. When their jobs, relationships, reputations, and income are on the line.
Short answer, they aren't.
Survivors of SA are having a hell of a week. Check on your people.

It's a hard, heavy topic. Looking forward to sharing.
Usually my podcast focuses on women of the Bible in their historical context, but in light of recent events we've been discussing anxiety.
And I'm so glad you're doing this work! 👏🏼

I'm a neurodivergent teacher (ADHD) whose special interest is the Bible and its historical context, specifically as it relates to women.
If you need a trauma/ND safe space to breathe and heal, I hope I can walk with you on this journey.
