Theology, Empire, and the Land: A Review of Decolonizing Palestine

Review: Decolonizing Palestine: The Land, The People, The Bible by Mitri Raheb It could not be more timely to review Mitri Raheb’s Decolonizing Palestine. The situation in Gaza cannot be separated from what is happening to settlements on the West Bank. Raheb’s particular focus is on the Zionist practice of a settler colonialism that effectively […]

Finding God in the Ordinary Moments

When we talk about faith, we often picture big moments. Baptisms. Weddings. Worship services. Mountain top experiences. But most of life isn’t lived on a stage or in the middle of something dramatic. Most of life is washing dishes, commuting to work, answering emails, talking with friends, or sitting in traffic. And if God is […]

I Was a Stranger and You Welcomed Me

A Kingdom at the Border The border isn’t only a line in the sand or a fence cutting across hills. It’s also a place where theology bleeds. It’s where fear meets flesh, where the policies of nations touch the skin of people experiencing poverty. Here, humanity is measured in papers, permits, and checkpoints; worth is […]

Faith Is Never a Solo Journey

Faith does not grow in isolation. It takes shape in the presence of other people. From the first pages of Scripture, God shows that life with Him is tied to life with others. “It is not good for the man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18). This is not only about marriage. It speaks to the […]

Eddington Finds A Way To Re-Examine 2020

Film review: Eddington 2020 – the first year of COVID lockdowns, social distancing, and global masking – was five years ago now, but the pandemic has altered many people’s sense of time in such a way that it feels much more recent. COVID-19, of course, never really went away, but enough time has passed that […]

Apocalypses and New Beginnings

Review: Apocalypse, Lizzie Wade, William Collins This book is about apocalypses and new beginnings, cities and civilisations collapsing and starting anew, of disasters and new worlds. We think of apocalypse as catastrophic ending, and Lizzie Wade describes it as such, but the book overall steers closer to the biblical and original meaning of apocalypse as […]

The absurdity of enchantment

I’m well into writing my book about transcendent experiences. I am enjoying it immensely. However it is also becoming challenging to define what I mean by transcendence. The more I try, the more the word seems to slip through my fingers. And the more ridiculous I sound. As I was doing some research I came […]

The Horror of Marriage Laid Bare in Together

In the Christian tradition we have always used the language of body horror to describe the implications of marriage. As early as in Genesis chapter 2 we read about marriage partners “becoming one flesh” – that’s an image that is completely at home in the same conversation as Cronenberg’s Videodrome or Brian Yuzna’s Society. Australian […]

Between Two Tears: Christian Spirituality and the Israel–Gaza War

A Wound That Speaks This isn’t a post for comfort. This is a post for witness. The Israel–Gaza war is a wound that bleeds on both sides: blood that calls us to lament, not slogans. Children starve in Gaza, hostages lie in captivity, cities crumble, lives vanish. Yet the suffering isn’t one-sided. Israelis live in […]

Faith, Tik Tok and Generation Alpha

Generation Alpha—the kids born from about 2010 onwards—are the first to grow up with TikTok and similar platforms as a normal part of life. For many of them, TikTok isn’t just where they get entertainment. It’s where they learn about the world, discover new ideas, and form opinions about politics, culture, relationships, and even faith.

Don’t Judge Me, but the Final Destination Films Taught Me Something About Faith

So, I binge-watched every Final Destination movie. On a rainy weekend. Yes, all of them. Even the new one, Bloodlines. Yes, I hear you saying that’s a lot of flying hubcaps, falling signs, and freakish household accidents. On the surface, they’re schlocky, Rube Goldberg machines of doom. But somewhere between the laughing at absurd death […]
