I've been blogging here since 2009. That makes this year 17! For the past five years, my posts have tapered off, largely because I've had opportunities to write regularly for other outlets, such as Christianity Today, The Well, The Politics of Scripture blog, and The Good Book Blog. Why write for my own blog when I could write for much larger audience elsewhere, and in some cases, even get paid for it?
Over the past year, it's become clear to me and to my husband that it's time to re-tool and to re-position myself online so that (1) my content is easier to find, (2) I am easier to contact for speaking engagements, (3) my platforms are more updated, and (4) I can cultivate better conversations with all of you. Because I'm blogging so irregularly, this site always looks out of date. And although you can poke around and find my books and other resources, it's not as intuitive as a regular website.
To that end, this summer Daniel and I have spent dozens of hours designing a website and launching a Substack newsletter to accomplish these goals. So from now on, if you're looking for me, that's where you can find me! I'm still releasing weekly videos over on YouTube, and I'm still on Facebook, X, and (more recently) Instagram, but my most robust and consistent written content will be on Substack at "The Open Book."

THANKS to those of you who have subscribed and faithfully read my posts over these many years. They'll stay right here if you want to come back to any of them. But going forward, I'd love for you to subscribe to my free newsletter on Substack. My posts there will land right in your inbox for you to read at your convenience. I've got some exciting things to roll out in the next couple of months, including a new book and a new course for Admirato!

I want to continue to gather with others around an open Bible, seeking to understand it better and to respond faithfully. I hope you'll join us!
