Re-Verse

Read the verses weaponized against so many … but this time in context.

Some passages got handed to you like a verdict. Used to draw lines, end conversations, or keep you small. Re-Verse takes those verses back to where they belong and reads them with fresh eyes, so you can tell the difference between what the Bible says and what someone made it say.

It’s my welcome gift to every reader of The Wide Margin. Subscribe to get it today!

What We Cover

When you sign up for my newsletter The Wide Margin, you’ll get these five lessons, free, delivered by email. Each one takes a passage that got used as a weapon and bring it back to the context so you can see them with fresh eyes A.E. (after evangelicalism).

  • 1 Thessalonians 4 — the rapture, and why the people who wrote it weren't picturing what you were shown

  • Jeremiah 29:11 — the verse on the coffee mug, and who God was actually talking to

  • Proverbs 31 — a poem about a woman, not a job description for one

  • 1 Timothy 2:9-10 — modesty, and what it cost you

  • 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 1 Timothy 1:10 — where the scholarship genuinely divides, and why the words and questions we choose matter

Is your relationship with Scripture these days... complicated?

  • You loved it once, and you'd love to love it again.

  • You want to take the Bible seriously, which means you need more than the literal reading you were handed.

  • You get a little uneasy opening it, because you've watched it get used against people you love.

  • Sometimes you stop before you start, because it just feels like a lot.

You're not broken for feeling any of that. You've just never been shown a safe way back in.

Let me help.

I’m Kate.

I'm a Bible scholar. I have a master's in biblical studies from Perkins School of Theology, I read Hebrew and Greek, and I'll show you my work.

Scholars have been sitting with the questions you’re asking now for decades, and most of that work never reaches the people who need it most, because it's locked in journals and written for other scholars. And I’ve found that mainstream culture and churches run about twenty years behind.

The work I love is moving it across that great divide. (I’m an Enneagram 5, can you tell?)

Consider me your online Bible bestie, your Back Pocket Bible Scholar — bringing you scholarship that hasn’t trickled into the mainstream and translating it into plain English so you can benefit from it.
