Hungry Theologian exists to help you encounter God through food. We value living at a deliberate pace, long-term thinking, formation over output, embodied life in creation, enjoying the fruits of creation as gifts from God, and meals as sacred space. In this newsletter I share things that provide a taste of goodness, truth, or beauty.

Welcome to any new subscribers! In this newsletter I share a few things that I think provide a taste of truth, goodness, or beauty. Sharing something doesn't mean I agree with it, just that I think it's worth some of your attention. I love to learn from quite disparate sources, and I'm sure that will come across in what I share.

The New York Times Took on the Food System. Here’s What They Missed. NYT recently reported on the major issues with Big Ag and the factory farm system of meat and dairy production, but they left out rural farmers who oppose Big Ag and are advocating for better farming practices.
Pray for Ukrainians protecting their homes, and for those who have evacuated and are unsure if they will see their family and friends again.
I’m writing this on Ash Wednesday, when Christians are marked with ashes to remember our sin and the judgement spoken to Adam and Eve, “You are dust, and to dust you shall return.” It feels poignantly appropriate that I’m still recovering from sickness and don’t have the energy level to make it to Ash Wednesday service today. A reminder of my human frailty, I guess.
I pray that this Lent is a fruitful season for your spiritual life. The last two years have reminded us all in countless ways that we shouldn’t take the status quo for granted. Changes you never expected can be foisted upon you, making obvious what is so easy to forget—you are not master of your own destiny. You are not, ultimately, in control.
During Lent our mortality and our need for repentance are foregrounded, so that the celebration of our Savior’s resurrection at Easter is all the more glorious. Lent is not a hopeless season because we know that our Lord bring beauty from ashes.
God bless,
Ralph
