Hey, I’m Tanya, and I am so glad you’re here!
I have something crazy-important to share with you.
GOD IS BIG.
He is personal, tangible and His love for you cannot be measured. It cannot be thwarted. He is bigger than you or I could ever imagine and His grace — WOW. I admit I’m still grappling with it, but I can tell you this: the glimpses I’ve seen of it are AWESOME.
Now, does that mean I’ve got it all figured out? NOOooooo. No way. So the second thing I need to tell you–
I’VE GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
I have studied the Bible, theology, Christianity, and the Church a LOT. I have a degree in it and I kinda wrote part of a Bible. Even so, I’ve got questions, and I’m guessing you do, too.
A lot of us have been told we can’t question God. We can’t question the Bible or what we’ve been taught. We’ve been taught that having faith means having no doubts.

But I believe God is big enough to handle our questions. In fact, I think he welcomes them! I think he embedded in us a curiosity to chase wonder and explore puzzles and really wrestle with his truth and our doubts, and when we engage our hearts and minds together in community, he’s delighted. He’s not afraid of our questions.
So I’ll say it again: I’m glad you’re here. Bring your questions. Bring your doubts, your fears, all the things you’ve been afraid to admit in church or around Christians. Let’s talk. Let’s discuss. Let’s learn from one another. Grab a cup of coffee — or tea, if you prefer! — and let’s visit.
Check out the Blog for new posts. Visit the Bookstore to find some of the projects I’ve worked on as well as recommended resources. Then jump into Big Word Bible Studies for some in-depth explorations of Scripture.
You’ll find no facades, no legalism, and no self-proclaimed experts here. Just lots of grace and encouragement, an occasional bit of spice, hopefully some humor, and an honest desire to know and walk with God.
