Status Updates From Evolving in Monkey Town: Ho...

Whew. 😰 I’m doing the audiobook and Held Evans’ unashamed honesty is A LOT. I’m struck by how she reminds us that we should not remain SO confident about our own human (or other humans) interpretation of scripture. The Earth being the center of the universe was once paramount to Christianity, and doubters were ousted. What do we hold as “necessary” to be or believe to be Christian in 2026?

“I knew as a little girl growing up I could be whoever I wanted except a pastor which didn’t bother me because I wanted to be a cowgirl or an author” 😭

this is for the girl whose favorite book once was a year of a biblical womanhood. rest in peace :( not to who I used to be but literally the amazing Rachel Held Evans herself
