One of the stranger phenomena of the last two years has been how politicized the virus has become. It has led to something called ‘Covid Shame.’ “Mental health experts say feelings of guilt and shame are perpetuated by societal stigma related to a COVID-19 diagnosis.” Hillary Ammon, PsyD, an assistant professor of Clinical Psychiatry inContinue reading “Covid & Sacred Space”

Star Wars & The Eternals
This isn’t really about all of the Star War films or the Eternals. I’m going to talk about themes and storytelling. As Christians stories should be our domain. We have the greatest story ever written and yet we’re losing the young minds of today to these bloated Hollywood picture shows. There is death in theContinue reading “Star Wars & The Eternals”
