Prepping for Saturday's class @friendlycityclay 💕
I recorded today's newsletter as a "pretend podcas I recorded today's newsletter as a "pretend podcast." You can hear me yap about how much I love the story of Frozen, why I think the song "Let it Go" has to be understood in context of the movie's whole story, and what I think that insight has to teach us about good Biblical interpretation.

Jesus Speaks to Women: Mary Magdalene, Part 2 on J Jesus Speaks to Women: Mary Magdalene, Part 2 on John 20:1-18 is posted on Substack! 

Here is some of what I'm pondering:
🖤 what did the death of Jesus mean to Mary?
🖤 why did Jesus meet her first after his resurrection?
🖤 the evidence of the grave linens
🖤 a new type of Eve
🖤 Golgotha has a garden
