The Housewife Theologian

Here’s the deal: Carl and I were having some suspicions about our jolly co-host, Todd. We had some questions. Some tough questions. But to our dismay, he just wouldn’t crack. Todd was hiding something big and we knew it. It became clear to us that it was time to bring in our latest member of the...

I've written a couple of articles for Reformation21 that I thought I'd share with any of you who may not visit that site regularly (shame on you if you don't). The first one is on a new app that I've discovered which advertises to pretty much photoshop your selfies into magazine-worthy portraits:...

Now here is a British word that my Mortification of Spin cohost may need to put into practice. Because clearly, Carl's method of sitting around on the beach got him into some trouble. Of course, Carl did pick up his habit from Todd, and Todd isn't a big fan of walking. Of what am I referring? On...

Well, I would say the first shade of strange hit me at a neighborhood Christmas party almost two years ago. Matt and I look forward to this annual event. There are some couples there that we hardly get to see throughout the year, and it is always fun catching up. One neighbor I haven’t seen in a...

Today on MoS , we discuss suffering and weakness. To give me a taste of affliction, my cohosts downgrade me from my previous title, “The Pat Benatar of Reformed Theology,” to "Cruella de Vil." Hurtful. But the good news is this means they must be afraid of me. There are a few other small matters to...

I’ve been looking forward to taking Bill Edgar’s Schaeffer on the Christian Life to the beach with me this summer. One thing that I have been enjoying about Crossway’s On the Christian Life series is that you get to know two people: the biographer and the one whom the book is about. That is...

Many of the comments under my recent dating article are helpful. After reading through them again, I thought it would be good to repost this book review that I wrote a little over two years ago. The authors discuss the whole problem with contemporary dating and try to offer a solution. This book...

Being an honorary guy has its perks. I was able to be smuggled into a frat house with Carl and Todd to discuss a development and trend in college campus ministries. For this week's Bully Pulpit we react to a First Things article written by Robert Gregory, Bowdoin Told Us To Go , where he explains...

Books at a Glance has posted my review of Jen Wilkin's new book, Women of the Word. Here's a short teaser: “The Bible does not want to be neatly packaged into three-hundred-and-sixty-five-day-increments” (75). No, no it doesn’t. But too often we think this is the only way to spending personal time...

Trillia Newbell is one spunky woman. And she is driven by a passionate, biblical goal. As a matter of fact, Trillia has written a book about it: United, Captured by God’s Vision of Diversity . She takes John’s vision recorded in Revelation seriously and is working to encourage Reformed churches to...
