When I decided to go back to school in my 30’s, I was (blissfully) unaware of how hard it would be…how the crunch of learning how to learn again would feel a lot like getting back on the treadmill after being out of shape for years. But just like we get pumped at the start ofContinue reading “Called to Belong: A Look at Romans 1”

theology is for everyone
When you hear the word T H E O L O G Y …what comes to mind? Expensive, ivy-covered universities? Grandfatherly men in tweed?
