Y'all probably know Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I A Woman?" speech. You know, this one: https://t.co/Ot992oFriU Fun fact: The version you know is an "update" by a white abolitionist that was published 12 years after the actual speech was given.

Also, to clarify, since not everyone knows, yes, his brother John, as in John Green, who wrote The Fault In Our Stars; and yes, both Hank and John Green, as in the guys who started Crash Course

i always want to be paying attention to where the Holy Spirit's doing stuff, both in my own life, in other people's lives, and against the systems and powers of this age. i think He's doing a lot of work exposing the rot that's been under our floorboards for a while.

I started to read Celeste Ng's new book Our Missing Hearts and as an Asian American I find it mildly terrifying (which is perhaps the point)

part of why I’m still Reformed is actually a small book called Letters to a Young Calvinist, by James K.A. Smith. I read it as I was starting to be somewhat disillusioned with guys like Driscoll and the like and it gave me a different trajectory for my theology to take
