Rachel Donahue replied to the topic A season of slowness in the forum Shriven, Ashed, and Ready for Action: Preparing for Lent 1 week, 6 days ago
I plan to cut out caffeine, limit social media use to once a day (because work obligations will not allow me to cut it entirely), and read The Word in the Wilderness. After much deliberation, I also plan to write a poem a day about something I’m reading of the life of Jesus from one of the gospels. At first I was afraid it would feel like another…[Read more]

Rachel Donahue replied to the topic General Questions for Malcolm Guite in the forum <em>The Word in the Wilderness</em> by Malcolm Guite 1 week, 6 days ago
In a recent episode of The Habit podcast, Matthew Clark mentioned that you are on a spiritual warfare ministry team and that you once prayed a prayer of exorcism over a group before diving into poetry together. That’s the first time I’d ever heard anyone mention a relationship between poetry and spiritual warfare, but it correlates to my own…[Read more]

Hi! I’m Rachel, in North Carolina. Upon hearing T.S. Eliot’s “The Journey of the Magi” being taught during preview days at our Bible College, I immediately decided to attend and become an English major. After finishing my degree, my husband and I spent a dozen years doing mission work in Spain. It was after we moved back to NC that God rekindled…[Read more]

John Carney’s movie “Once” did that for me. I was expecting it to be a typical story about an ill-fated romance, and instead discovered a story about two people choosing to love each other self-sacrificially. Each character makes some hard choices that help the other to grow into the person they’re meant to become. It was a great picture of a deeper kind of love, which wasn’t romance, but was no less beautiful for that. The way that the movie ends is just perfect – bittersweet and yet full of hope.

That episode of Libromania was so great, I need to listen to it again!
I think Till We Have Faces is my favorite experience of subverted expectations. Star Trek can pull it off on occasion, too. -
All I can think of is Cohen the Barbarian in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series — although, to be honest, there are probably loads of Doctor Who episodes that subvert the usual sci-fi and horror tropes.
For what it’s worth, I had very little exposure to (the real) Captain Marvel before seeing this film, but I loved the angle they took; like Shigé and her brother, I was disappointed at the apparent direction of the conflict at first.
For what it’s worth, the movie was even better the second time; having seen the big picture, I was able to focus on the all the character arcs — and in particular, Carol’s tumultuous journey of self-(re)discovery.

Nothing like realizing you began two consecutive paragraphs with “for what it’s worth”. I blame tiny phone screens.
Great article, @jonnyjimison.
