My Life Less Ordinary. About Me: Core Beliefs. About Me: Education and Interests. Wednesday, December 24, 2014. The Magnificat and the Manger: The Subversiveness of Christmas. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty." Luke 1 51-53 (NRSV). But it didn't seem right to do that. It's also quite possible tha...

Just another emcee who gets free. Vessel of philanthropic vision fueled by theophilic purpose. September 23, 2015. Andy Mineo’s Great American Rap Album (A Review of Uncomfortable). Two things I request of You (Deprive me not before I die);. Remove falsehood and lies far from me;. Give me neither poverty nor riches–. Feed me with the food allotted to me;. Lest I be full and deny You,. And say, Who is the Lord? Or lest I be poor and steal,. And profane the name of my God. To Pimp A Butterfly. My own peopl...

Thinking Out Loud …. A God who speaks my language. May 15, 2016. I haven’t blogged in the last few months as I have been busy finishing up my thesis, but I’m hoping to get back into it soon. For now, here’s a post I wrote for Tabor’s blog “Manna” last week …. But every time a student raises this issue, I’m reminded about a wonderful and profound truth those gaps teach me about our God. How do we decide what to care about? April 29, 2015. Like many other Australians, I was horrified this morning to hear o...

Thinking Out Loud …. Some thoughts on racism, listening, and the gospel. August 2, 2015. Unless you’ve been living under a rock in Australia for the last week or so, you’ve been hearing about Adam Goodes and the issue of racism in sport/society. So much has already been said, I wasn’t sure if I had anything to add. But a few things have really challenged me and got me thinking about racism, listening to the voices of the “other” and how this all connects to the gospel. 8220;Estranged in the land of our a...

Thinking Out Loud …. Today would be a good day to visit the Eiffel Tower. June 22, 2015. There are few buildings in the world more instantly recognisable, more iconic, than. It doesn’t matter if it is summer or winter, day or night, twilight or sunset, it’s a beautiful place to visit. Seeing it on the horizon instantly reminds you that you are in Paris, with all the emotions and possibilities that city’s name conjures up. It is the most visited tourist attraction in the world. Oh, the views. But at 324 m...

Just another emcee who gets free. Vessel of philanthropic vision fueled by theophilic purpose. We Won’t Go (Jonah 3). Expediency, is it politic? Vanity, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, Is it right? Dr King understood that there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right. You’d think that this incredible act of contrition–a whole city destined for destruction repenting! Jonah 4:11, NRSV). Secondly, I ...

Forgiving Trump | Lupus?! A wha dat?!

Just another emcee who gets free. Vessel of philanthropic vision fueled by theophilic purpose. Photo by Gage Skidmore/Huffington Post. Now I don’t normally. I first noticed this Trump video. Trump’s answer is perfect to me. It encapsulates the errors of human pride in a wonderful way. Here we have a man who regularly displays misogyny, racism and an utter disregard for others. Two dope TV ideas: Iyanla needs to bring Trump and Rosie O’Donnell on “Fix My Life”. Like why is he so mad? 8221; Luke 18:13) but...

Just another emcee who gets free. Vessel of philanthropic vision fueled by theophilic purpose. Month: May, 2015. May 7, 2015. The Richie Righteous Episode #STCDNW. Heatrock of the Week KB feat. Lecrae “Sideways”. May 4, 2015. 8220;Here Lies The Dragon…” (Rev 12:7-12). It fascinates me when I think about those peculiar bedfellows. Hope and despair. How can we be victorious when it feels all is lost? Much more than mere feeling, or passing sentiment, how can we sing our song in a strange land? While it is ...
