From 1619-1865, I imagine that the African slaves that were either on route in the middle passage, standing on the auction blocks, or in the burning hot cotton fields of Alabama were doing theology.

Making Trouble…
I was really struggling the other day and continue to do so. When I talk to a lot of Christians I feel like I am always “edgy” to some degree. And I begin to wonder if I really ought to be so controversial. I mean, we are the body of Christ, so why am IContinue reading “Making Trouble…”
