Welcome to Scribbling Theology

This little corner of the internet is where I wrestle with God, beauty, Scripture, and the strange ache of being human. It is not a place for polished answers or textbook theology. It is a place for questions, wonder, and the sacred in very ordinary life. If you are tired of easy certainties but still drawn toward Jesus, you are in the right place.

What this space is about

Scribbling Theology exists for three main things:

  1. Honest wrestling
    Real questions, real doubts, real stories. No spiritual performance.
  2. Beauty and imagination
    Poetry, metaphor, and the arts as ways of paying attention to God.
  3. Deep, hopeful theology
    Big themes like union with God, the renewal of all things, and the healing of shame, explored with both head and heart.

You will not find neat systems here. You will find a journey toward a God who is far kinder and more beautiful than we were told.

Who this is for

This space is especially for you if:

  • You love Jesus but feel restless or disenchanted with church culture
  • You sense that beauty, art, and the imagination are part of your faith
  • You are curious about themes like universal restoration, theosis, and contemplative prayer
  • You want to think deeply without leaving your heart behind

If that sounds like you, you are at home here.

How to find your way around

The site is organised around a few main streams. Each one gathers posts under a shared mood or focus.

  • Theology and Reflections
    Longer essays and musings on God, the church, and the big story of Scripture.
    (Link: your “Browse Theology and Reflections” page)
  • Sacred in the Ordinary
    Reflections on everyday life, parenting, work, and the quiet places where holiness hides.
    (Link: your “Sacred in the Ordinary” category)
  • Scripture Reflections
    Meditations on particular passages and themes in the Bible, often drawing on biblical theology and the early church.
    (Link: your “Scripture Reflections” category)
  • Theology and Themes
    Big ideas that run through the biblical story. Creation, exile, homecoming, union, and the renewal of all things.
    (Link: your “Theology and Themes” category)
  • Scribbling Poetry
    Poetic prayers, laments, and little word sketches for when doctrine is not enough.
    (Link: your poetry category or browse page)
  • Book Reviews
    Brief, candid reflections on books that are shaping my faith and questions.
    (Link: your “Browse Book Reviews” page)

On the menu you will also find a Browse All Posts page if you simply want to wander.

A small benediction

May this space give you language for things you have felt but never quite named.
May it disturb what needs disturbing and comfort what needs comfort.
And may it help you recognise the quiet presence of Christ in your own untidy, ordinary life.

Welcome. I am glad you are here.
