Race is currently a hot topic, and I am a white woman married to a black man. Needless to say, I regularly learn new aspects of my whiteness, sometimes on a daily basis. The majority of the time, I learn new things simply by existing alongside my husband. Occasionally, he directly speaks to a blind … Continue reading Black Lives Matter: I Will Always Be White

Black Lives Matter: Confession of Whiteness
The timing of a post like this is always difficult to discern, but I think it’s important that I publicly state that black lives matter and confess some aspects of my whiteness. I live and was raised in the deep south, and growing up, I never really understood the extent of racism that still permeates … Continue reading Black Lives Matter: Confession of Whiteness
3 Things Needed to Walk with God
Confession: I am playing catch up for the next several blogs. Eventually, my goal is to have the YouTube channel lined up with the blog postings on Fridays. In order to line up this schedule, the next few posts will continue to focus on the video content. In the last post, I set up a … Continue reading 3 Things Needed to Walk with God
Just Like Riding a Bike
For the last year or so, some of my students have been discussing the possibility of me starting a YouTube channel in which I discuss and answer questions about Jesus. When the discussion first started, it seemed like a fun challenge to take on, but with teaching full-time and working on my PhD, there just … Continue reading Just Like Riding a Bike
The Refining Process
The gospel is confrontational. Just this week while having coffee with a friend, I was discussing the fact that there is never really a time when the gospel is not confrontational. Unfortunately in America, it is sometimes fairly simple to present a “gospel” message that seems harmless and is relatively easy to accept and claim. … Continue reading The Refining Process

I have been thinking about writing a series on connecting literature and faith in the classroom. I figured today was a perfect time to begin this series being that I will officially begin work … Continue reading Literature and Faith Part 1
Confess Your Sin Part 2
“If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a … Continue reading Confess Your Sin Part 2
Why I Love Volunteer Missions Teams
In 2004 I discovered Jesus. I discovered that Jesus was everything I had been desiring; I discovered that He met my every need. That truth has not changed, I just have to often remind myself of His sufficiency. That same summer of 2004, I prayed for a team of students who were spreading the gospel … Continue reading Why I Love Volunteer Missions Teams
Confess Your Sin
First world luxury. Some of us have a lot of it, and can’t live without it. Some of us have never seen it. (which would be no one reading this) Some of us think we can live without it until they are rudely awakened by the reality of not having it. That would be me. … Continue reading Confess Your Sin
Experience, Proclaim, Rejoice
I really like the book of 1 John. Specifically chapter 4. It’s just really good stuff. I mean the whole bible is really good stuff, but today I want to highlight 1 John, because it was first highlighted to me. As you will see, I am following a trend. Even though I am … Continue reading Experience, Proclaim, Rejoice
