The Housewife Theologian

The MoS team was issued another challenge. This time we were asked to discuss a new phenomenon, Fight Church, without tapping out. We were sent a link to view a trailer of a new documentary about Fight Church. Todd and I were left to discuss this one alone, as Carl was off learning the ways of the...

The theme for the latest issue of Modern Reformation (May-June 2014) is “Keeping Our Kids.” This is an important topic in the church today, one that I am passionate about.

Somehow, Carl, Todd, and I found ourselves caught up in the hype of the latest Christian movie release. That's right, this week we got in line for tickets to the blockbuster film Heaven Is For Real. While we were waiting in line, we had a discussion about the whole genre of Christian movies. They...

Last week I shared about how the MoS team sent me on a dangerous mission to get to the bottom of the Confessing Baptist mystery. This week, Part 2 of my interview with the lovely Christina Jesuroga is available on the Confessing Baptist podcast. We talk Christian unity, hospitality, Spurgee, the...

I’m telling you, one of my favorite singers on my daughter’s playlist is Lorde. While I certainly don’t endorse all of her values, some of the messages that she sings about are penetrating not only the teen culture, but to all of us. This 17-year-old artist calls out the real picture of society,...
