Last week I hit the NYTimes; this week I got a not terrible review fromThe Gospel Coalition….this has been a very encouraging albeit surprising reception for #BecomingThePastorsWife!

All things considered, this is a win. I am grateful for a thoughtful reviewer this time. I appreciate @wendyalsup.bsky.social’s critique and will consider it. Although I don’t think I can do much about my tone nor our fundamental disagreement about the importance of history in this ongoing convo.

Well, I know my current book is sitting on NYTimes bestseller list today (and probably just a few more days; i can’t imagine to be this lucky two weeks in a row), but I really am starting to write the third book today, too. And it’s starting off with Whitby. @brazospress.bsky.social

I meant to send you this pic from Fabled in Waco! Congrats on your new book too!

Just got a thank you from a grad student reading #BecomingThePastorsWife who appreciated my honesty about the challenges of grad school. I am so glad it helped her!!!

I will forever be grateful that I had the chance to make such a real difference in the lives of women. Be free, y’all. @brazospress.bsky.social

I’m beyond excited to announce that #MakingBiblicalWomanhood has now reached 100,000 copies sold and received a Bronze Milestone Sales Achievement award from the Evangelical Christian Publishing Association. This is more than I ever imagined possible! Thank you for reading! @brazospress

Do something. This is a great first step. Check out the script to specifically fight against takeover by Elon Musk: 5calls.org

“A dark story and well-researched.” I can’t argue with that! Grateful for another 5-star NetGalley review for #BecomingThePastorsWife! @brazospress.bsky.social

So excited to finally announce my partnership with The Bible For Normal People for the 5-part podcast miniseries inspired by #BecomingThePastorsWife #AllTheBuriedWomen! @brazospress.bsky.social

Came straight home from a wonderful trip in UK to a planned surgery to fix my ankle/foot. It was a long surgery and went well, but I’ll be recovering for a while. I should be in a walking boot by book release.

Whitby is stunning—both in sunlight and with gray skies.

Well, the US seems to be imploding (exploding?), but I just had amazing fish and chips in Whitby. Good night, y’all!

For the past year I’ve had the privilege of working on a podcast miniseries with Savannah Locke. It was born in the SBC archives. It will share stories you haven’t heard before. Stories you will want to hear. Follow along on IG and Threads because it is coming soon in 2025: #AllTheBuriedWomen
