5 formas de saber si estás juzgando correctamente
«Esto es mi fútbol». Era la única forma que se me ocurría para explicarle a mi desconcertado marido mi pasión por «Fixer Upper».

Who Has the Burden of Proof? An Intro to Classical Apologetics
Ya gotta love a good snarky atheist meme. But this one does make you think, doesn’t it? I mean if somebody claims fairies are real, is it my job (as a fairy-skeptic) to disprove them? No! It’s their job to provide evidence for their claim. So, wouldn’t it follow that...
ROARing through the buzzwords privilege, oppression, marginalized, & equity
In our last blog, we covered a really brief overview of these cultural buzzwords: “privilege,” “oppression,” “marginalized,” and “equity.” We compared the formal definitions of these words with both 1) what we assume people mean when they use them and 2) the...
What do they mean when they say equity, privilege, marginalized, and oppression?
How often have you heard a sentiment like this one: It is the responsibility of the privileged to champion the cause of the oppressed and fight for the inclusion of the marginalized. That’s basically the going gospel de jour right now. And it sounds good, right? When...

My kid stumped me with a theological question! Now what?
In our house, bedtime is normally dad’s job. I homeschool my kids (we do the hybrid thing), so most days by the end of the night I have been momming for a solid 14+ hours. I’ve got… like… less than nothing left in the tank. Of course, there is the occasional night...

I’ll never forget the first time my husband and I read Scripture together. Our cute little dating selves were taking turns reading through Romans (as you do), and when I was finished with my paragraph, my gorgeous had a funny look on his face. “What translation are...
