Really proud of this piece I wrote for Mockingbird Magazine!

Itโ€™s being featured today as the church remembers Mary Magdalene.

What a special place!

We are back at HoneyRock, Wheaton Collegeโ€™s camp in the Northwoods of WI, where Iโ€™m serving as Camp Pastor for a couple weeks preaching and leading devotionals for staff.

Camp was a pivotal part of my faith journey as a kid so itโ€™s such a privilege to serve in this way.

In its place, I received this celebratory letter highlighting the recognition of *The Mary We Forgot* Brazos Press. #honored #encouraged Next book in the works!

I recently accepted an invitation to be a Senior Fellow in the The Center for Pastor Theologians. Iโ€™m grateful for this community of ministry leaders and scholars, and the ways our gatherings have enriched my writing and speaking.

Book Review: The Mary We Forgot: What the Apostle to the Apostles Teaches the Church Today - CBE International Jennifer Powell McNuttโ€™s latest book explores the life and legacy of Mary Magdalene through biblical interpretative methods, Scripture, and Christian history.

"What I found most refreshing about her book is her genuine love of our amazing Jesus, and how she was able to demonstrate that Mary Magdaleneโ€™s relationship with Jesus helps all believers, men and women, better know our Lord."

The Mary We Forgot: What the Apostle to the Apostles Teaches the Church Today The Official Magazine of the Christian Reformed Church

"In 'forgetting' Mary for who she was, we have also 'undervalued' her as 'the first witness to the resurrection, and overlooked, particularly in the Western church, as the 'apostle to the apostles,โ€™'."

Two Marys at the Cross: The Body Keeps the Score At the crucifixion of Christ, two women experienced the battle of good and evil within their own bodies as lightning flashed above the cross.

This Holy Week I've been reflecting on two of the women who witnessed the death of Christ in a profoundly personal way. I hope my reflections deepen your gratitude for the cross this weekend. With thanks to @jpowellmcnutt.bsky.social

Today, I walked down the street where Zรผrich reformer Zwingli once lived to the Theology Faculty at the University of Zรผrich. At the invitation of the Reformation Institute, I taught a class on the Reformation and the Bible. Students were a delight, and I left just glowing #ILoveBibles Thankful!

Thank you for reading, Jack, and for your support! Iโ€™m blessed by your words and glad to be connected to you. I enjoyed zooming with a class at Talbot who read the book. Iโ€™m grateful for how the Lord is using the book to bring clarity and encourage others in the faith!

Just had the final edits accepted for my first article in Mockingbird Magazine, and Iโ€™m grateful. Canโ€™t wait to share my piece on Mary Magdaleneโ€™s Witness.

If you donโ€™t know the magazine itโ€™s exquisitely done: artistic, richly theological, culturally attuned, etc. Highly recommend! mbird.com

Iโ€™ll be lecturing on the history of the Bible, meeting with doctoral students, and giving a plenary address at the conference on Pauline Exegesis. All the while Zรผrich is marking the 500th anniversary of the Reformation so I canโ€™t think of a better place to be!
