Identity and Obedience in Revoice 2021

Last updated on: February 2, 2022 at 9:01 am By Anne Kennedy

I did not intend to take so many days away from this blog–last week and this week. And we certainly didn’t mean not to podcast on Monday. But I’ve been working along with the amazing editors at CRI on an article long in the pipeline about Revoice21. I started watching the talks in November, and then watched them again, and then wrote, scrapped it, and wrote again. This is what, I believe, is called “long-form.” As in, it is quite... Read more

Don’t Be Depressed, Eat Chocolate

Last updated on: January 26, 2022 at 8:37 am By Anne Kennedy

Wait! That’s not a bowl of chocolate! Well, this sure sounds depressing. Apparently, eating “comfort” food is not the best way to make yourself feel better when you’re depressed. If you really want to feel better and not so sad, you have to eat kale and vegetables and things like that. Science Hath Spoken : The first intervention to test dietary changes as a treatment for depression included 67 patients, all of whom had poor diets consisting of a lot of... Read more

Look At Me!

Last updated on: January 25, 2022 at 8:16 am By Anne Kennedy

No, I mean, no, you really don’t. I seriously should not be blogging this week because…well, my goodness, it’s finals week for the semester for five out of six children, first week back at school for the sixth one, my laundry room is one of those dumpsters on fire that’s floating down the middle of a desolated flooded street, and I’ve got another deadline. I should not be surfing the internet looking for stuff to complain about. But really, am... Read more

What Happens When You Become Affirming Podcast and Links

Last updated on: January 24, 2022 at 10:51 am By Anne Kennedy

It is another bleakly cold day here in Bing, which will be wonderful for my garden come spring, but is pretty depressing right now. To warm ourselves as much as possible, we’ve done a medium-length’d podcast about what happens when you take an affirming position regarding homosexuality in the church. Spoiler alert–don’t do that. In all seriousness, I hope you find it helpful. We are not mean about anything at all. [SOUND QUALITY WARNING: In the middle, the huge dog... Read more

Normalize Self-Forgetfulness

Last updated on: January 19, 2022 at 9:29 am By Anne Kennedy

Don’t these people look like a real treat? Oh well, look, here is the “dawn,” back again in all its snowy grayness. I guess that means I had better think about some things. The first of which is that my children, though not nearly so cute as they once were, did make me laugh out loud yesterday. One child walked into the room where I was languishing, and, unprovoked, made this announcement before walking out again: “If I could choose... Read more

Evangelism in a Secular Age Podcast and Links

Last updated on: January 17, 2022 at 10:33 am By Anne Kennedy

It is a bitterly cold winter wonderland here in the Northeast. The snow is falling in buckets and we are bracing ourselves to go out and try to move it out of the way so we can go on with our lives. To fortify ourselves, we’ve done a medium-lengthed podcast about evangelism. We go through a clip of someone explaining that we need a new apologetic for this secular age. We, spoiler-alert, don’t agree. I think it will be all... Read more

No Really, We Do Have To Tell You About Jesus

Last updated on: January 14, 2022 at 9:48 am By Anne Kennedy

Look! It’s Friday! So that must mean something. I have a few thoughts about some things. One I’m halfway through this long brilliant thing about habits and machines and people. It’s really good–at least so far. It starts out this way: Of all the attempts to pinpoint the origin of modernity—an exercise of which modernity never tires—my favorite begins with medieval monks. According to this account, it was the Benedictines who came up with the idea that it was possible... Read more

Hate Is A Pretty Depressing Look

Last updated on: January 13, 2022 at 8:38 am By Anne Kennedy

I’ve been trying to find various tabs I can close, thinking that it would be sensible to declutter all my technology for some reason, and rediscovered a bleak piece of writing that I might as well comment on before I dispatch it. It is about marriage and you can find it in the NYTimes. I think it’s supposed to be funny, but somehow I wasn’t able to laugh: And then our dashing hero begins to hold forth on “the learning...

You Can’t Make Me Drink Water First Thing In The Morning

Last updated on: January 12, 2022 at 9:08 am By Anne Kennedy

I don’t actually want to drink coffee either, just huge vats of strong black tea with milk. This is my favorite thing in the world: https://twitter.com/janaunplgd/status/1481034258999250946?s=20 I don’t really have anything to add, except…well, I love (that’s a joke) what constitutes moral goodness in this age: drinking lots of water, being super thin, “working on yourself” as if you are some sort of machine that can be kept up to date and in proper working order with enough attentive obsession....
