Admittedly, if you let high school seniors buy art, you'll end up with stuff like this in your collection eventually. But at least it's well painted...

Currently viewable here as part of the biennial, though (ugh) you can't tell from the website:

The Gardena High School art collection is a great archive with a remarkable story. Kids collecting California impressionism & other stuff as their senior project for decades. Check it out: https://t.co/C4mafefF9u

I asked AI to show me the cringiest thing that hath ever been known in the whole history of this world, and it took me to the new pretend graffiti exhibition in Canterbury Cathedral.

Received my author copies of my & @lukestamps’ 40 Questions About the Trinity. I am grateful to @Benmerkle for inviting us to write in the series and to @KregelAcademic for publishing it. We mean what we say in the dedication - what we have received, we are trying to pass on.

I also got to teach a 5-minute lesson to the k-5th kids at my church Sunday, as final speaker in a 4-week series on "God is holy, righteous, and loving." Which I approached from the pov of the Nicene line, duh, without of course saying so. Reasonable limits, but no talking down.

My version: Today is publication day for an academic article I started writing in April 2023, where I worked out most of my take on Nicene theology. But also release day for a 5-minute clip of a popular-level talk I gave on the main ideas at a great conference in May.

Vanhoozer says he tries to write one church-level book for each academic-level book, alternating hard/easy on his big projects. It's a good goal for churchy theologians, especially if both modes are generative. Each level can produce its own means of demonstration & persuasion.

Here's where I draw the (Nicene) line. (By the way, picking the right 5-minute clip from a talk is a real skill, and @solamediaorg's got it.)

I've posted a preview of my article at my own resource site. The article's actually been out since June in "early view" form, but now it's properly paginated & packaged.

Generally paywalled, but as of now 3 articles are open access, yay!

Oct 2025 IJST has a theme issue on Nicaea w/6 articles, including one from me. The Anatolios & Luy articles are especially good!

We're getting to a point where now I'm glad to see bad Photoshop because at least it isn't ai sloptooning.

Okay I didn't get advice in time so I used the whole universe as my object lesson.

Quick, I need an object lesson or visual aid for a lesson on divine aseity for kindergarten to fifth graders in the next ninety minutes. I won't be saying the word aseity obvs.

I swear I could never remember which view was which until I noticed these helpful anagram mnemonics: Egalitarian: Anti regalia, Italian rage, Aerial giant. Complementarian: Airplane comment, Mantra policemen, Immanence patrol. No need to thank me!

Fun living in a world where every new email — hell, every interaction online — is a Voight-Kampff test

May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ. --2 Thess 3:5

Just had a flashback to the summer I lived in a truck camper shell up on sawhorses behind a canoe rental. Ran an extension cord for a trouble light to the main house. Maybe 1982? No lock on the door; the guys pranked me by putting a 4-man raft inside & inflating it in my "home."
