Twitter/X is both my dream and my nightmare. It allows me to engage with, challenge, push back on the ideas others are playing with, and to bring my own ideas into the mix for them to do the same. But the disembodied nature of the platform also makes it very easy engage with those ideas as if they were divorced from the personhood of the one who espouses them.
Dani, this is beautiful and thoughtful. You have set a difficult task for yourself (better said, you’ve followed the Lord into a difficult task) by trying to speak faithfully from scripture on topics of gender, marriage and singleness. These are tough topics face to face in relationships much less speaking in an open and religiously diverse forum. I’m proud of you for your boldness and humility. May the Lord continue to give you courage and wisdom.
As an aspiring-theologian (also 40 y/o Christian woman) you inspire me! Thanks for your presence and your writing and your humanness. Saying a prayer for you right now for wisdom and diligence in all of your projects!
I totally understand where you are coming from with all this (even though at times I needed to use the dictionary, lol) … God has truly given you many gifts with your deep thinking and ability to communicate. I am grateful to have come across you on the internet - and i will be praying for you in your small corner of it, as you strengthen your faith & we all learn together and through you. I appreciate you Dani. God Bless you. Love, Robyn

Thank you brother! I appreciate your encouragement a lot :)
Hello Dani! I am praying for you. I follow you in the Twitter/X space, and yes, it often gets really messy there.
Thank you for your prayers!
