Quick countryside trip (90 mins out, barns everywhere 🌾). Lunch, new toys, and wild thoughts of moving. But nah—still a city soul.
Bonus: NASCAR cleared traffic + we caught this airship over downtown! 🛸 #ChicagoMoment #RoadtripWin

Grief and hope: The theological legacy of Walter Brueggemann
(RNS) — The theologian, who died June 5 at age 92, read the Bible not as a scientific account or a rigid moral code but as sacred myth that could still speak with truth and urgency.

New episode!
《在聖靈的懷抱中：酷兒自由超越肉體與律法》，從加拉太書 5:1, 13–25 出發，探討聖經中「情慾的果子」與「聖靈的果子」的二元對立，批判教會如何將這些詞彙用來壓迫酷兒群體。我們從酷兒與後殖民觀點出發，重思身體、情慾與律法的意義，並強調「第三空間」的信仰實踐——一種不受律法與肉體束縛、由聖靈引導的自由生命。節目最後呼籲以仁愛、和平與包容，建構一個由聖靈引導的多元信仰群體，擁抱所有被排除在外的人。
