For those of you who have been following along, the most recent entry in "The Beginner's Guide to the Bible" just went live over on Pastor Don's Substack. It goes live today for paid subscribers ('cause, ya know, pastors gotta eat too) but becomes available to everyone else a week later.

It also comes bundled with the relevant episode of "Back to Basics," straight from the archives, with added extra Courtney!

So, if you're interested, come check it out!

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth, which is a thing we know because reasons.

Hey everyone! Here's a thing!

The quotation marks are vital.

Pastor Don is doing a thing! Come check it out, if you like irreverent theological blogs that is!

So now that my doctoral studies are complete, and I have no more academic writing to do ever again, I decided to finally do the thing and get to writing a bit more professionally and consistently.

I say "a bit" because I'm still just as irreverent as ever!

So, if you're interested in following substack blogs on theology and such - especially if the writer is constitutionally unable to stop making Terry Pratchett-style jokes throughout - then maybe give this a subscribe, perhaps? It would certainly help me out if you could!

doctorkuma.substack.com is the place to go to check it out, if you're interested. Thanks! :D
