    Counterfeit Legacy (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Change is a suspicious notion for those of us raised in Fundamentalist Evangelical spaces. It speaks of modernity, or worse POSTmodernity. An old nemesis can be reliably thwarted by simply staying the same. But the nemesis is changing and making the old appear stalwart by comparison—better the devil you know and all that. There is a rumour of age amongst Evangelicals—like how it is, must be how it’s always been. If we speak of masculinity, it’s ‘traditional’ masculinity—the same of femininity, t

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    These review essays have become some of my favourites to write and, it seems, some of your favourites to read. It was my esteemed privilege to be on Dr ’s 740 member launch team for Live Laugh Love (2026) and to be privy to an advance electronic copy. This means, however, that I have had to break with my tradition of audio first for books written by women.1 As a means of introduction, and as to why I chose to write about this particular book, I think you’ll find that Live Laugh Love (20

    Read excerpt

    As proposed in The Destituent Mother, people aren’t nearly as concerned about virtue as they are about institutional coherence and the value of maintaining an expedient definition of virtue that serves the community. As such, what I am exploring through this series is a moral understanding of safety, legitimacy and provision.Subscribe now<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FIUQ!,f_auto,q_

    The Destituent Mother (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Learning about and exploring destituent power has been one of the greatest lessons for me over the past year so far—I came into the year with the idea of nakedness and lack of shame—destituency does that for me; it reveals how things are underneath power structures and struggles. Here I have written a thousand words exploring the concept of heroism and its fulfilment in the image of the destiuent mother. Subscribe now<a class="im

    The Good Work of Patience (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    IN MY CURRENT READING QUEUE, I am reading Rupert Spira and Alan Kreider; Spira on awareness and Kreider on patience—both essential to the destituent Christian life. In Being Aware of Being Aware (2017) Rupert Spira shows us the nature of awareness of which we are one and the same with apparent distinctions but essential sameness. In the first chapters of The Patient Ferment of the Early Church (2016) Alan Kreider gives us a historical survey on early Christian writings about patience, which they
