@Andrewnsnyder My son and I just read The Call of Wild and then watched the most recent movie… needless to say he was left waning with the movie lol

I’m deeply grateful to Dr. @richardblaylock, who guided the majority of this work, as well as to Dr. @drezvera99 and Dr. @MelissaCMTan for their recent support and direction in bringing it to completion.

Hard to express what a relief it is to have just submitted the first complete draft of my ThM thesis 😮‍💨🥳

6 semesters in the making.
109 pages.
39,122 words.
1,200 cups of coffee. 😉

If purgatory exists, it'd be cleaning up your citations and bibliography before submitting a draft.

Need a Reformation Day movie?

I had my juniors in Church History pick from 4 films and write a review on it. I’m taking recs, what am I missing?

@Andrewnsnyder Just started episode 110 and truly enjoyed it! Hooked.

This is still one of my favorite works on the history of baptism. Many are usually surprised to learn about Everett Ferguson’s conclusions… -->

What a fun past few days exploring the @museumofBible at the Herzog Foundation’s Teacher Retreat in Washington DC, with teaching from Dr. Jonathan Pennington.

What internet/scrolling life did to our brains from 2005-2025 is nothing compared to what AI life will do to our brains, 2025-2045. We’re in an age of accelerating “cognitive atrophy.”

Humans losing the capacity to think will become ever more brutish. Ape-like.

I have been considering adding this little punishment to future syllabi in my classes. It will surely not prevent all AI usage, but it may just expose a few students from time to time to the idea that pragmatism and speed may hinder virtue formation.

Beyond excited to be preaching through the Nicene Creed at our church this June… a gospel-rich confession uniting Christians for 1700 years!

Happy Easter from the Bowles—fashionably late, of course! The tomb is still empty, Christ is still risen, death is still defeated, and our sins are still forgiven. Hallelujah!

On this Holy Saturday…
