Mormon Expession Podcast Interview

Well . . . I think I sound like Sarah Palin. Blame it on growing up in Alaska, I guess.
But it’s up! Mormon Expression: Outside Looking In.
John is also interviewing Chris Carroll Smith of Mild-Mannered Musings.
I’m leaving comments open here for general banter / making fun of me, but if you have any substantive comments, [...]

I’m not going [...]

My false, pagan, so-called Christian church of men

Evangelicals, Mormons & Deification

Almost a year ago, I did a post over at LDS & Evangelical Conversations contrasting the LDS view of exaltation with an argument for deification within the evangelical worldview.
That post has been re-published at the Patheos Mormonism portal with some minor changes:
An Evangelical View of (Mormon?) Deification
One note on the article: I mention in it [...]

Guest Comic

My husband has a guest comic this week over at Back on Earth. In case you are not a reader of Back on Earth, it is a hilarious Christian Web comic and you are totally missing out.
