Topics Covered
Our Founder - Nicole E. Brown
As a military brat, I've had the unique opportunity to live in both Central America and the U.S., shaping my diverse perspective. Raised in the Evangelical Covenant Church, my journey took an intriguing turn when I joined a messianic synagogue in college. After an 11-year career as a Contracting Officer in the federal civilian sector, I now reside in Alaska with my husband and two children, while pursuing my master's degree in biblical languages online.
Our blog features a diverse range of topics, including ancient languages, cultural practices of early Christians, geographic influences on biblical events, and much more. Each post is crafted to encourage reflection and dialogue on the texts that have shaped faith for centuries.
