This post is also available as a podcast: https://anchor.fm/teague-mckamey/episodes/The-Gospel-of-Deuteronomy-e1ivj7i Earlier this year, the Lord took me through Deuteronomy. Typically, I read through a book (maybe more than once) to get the flow of it. Then I do a slow reading, maybe looking up words, camping on phrases, and doing more in-depth study. All through this…

The Voice of One Podcast
So, apparently podcasts are a thing đ And not a thing Iâve ever paid attention to. But this is kinda how I roll. Iâve never been âcutting edge.â When I started blogging 14 or 15 years ago, it was mostly by accident. I created an account and blog on Blogger (thewordwasgod.blogspot.com) so I could read…
Published in Heart of Flesh Journal!
In 2020, the Lord prompted me to be more intentional about writing and reading poetry. One aspect of that has been submitting poems to journals. I am happy to say that, by August, I will have had three poems published! (If youâd like to learn more about my poetry, visit my poetry blog: A Wandering…
Stigma and the Gospel
Social services is my day job. In social services and health care circles, I hear a lot of talk about reducing stigma. There are a multitude of issues that bring up the topic of stigma. The common theme is that society has been judgmental toward a certain condition or behavior; people living with those conditions…
Break Time!

Escha-whatzit & Herme-whozit? (Part 2)
In my last post, I talked about the connection between eschatology (the study of last things or end times) and hermeneutics (how scripture is interpreted). A personâs eschatology will flow from how they interpret scripture so when people talk about eschatology, theyâre also (perhaps unconsciously) talking about how to interpret scripture. Given that the integrity…
Escha-whatzit & Herme-whozit? (Part 1)
Over the years, Iâve learned how connected eschatology and hermeneutics are. âEschatologyâ is a fancy word for âlast things.â When we talk about the end times, we are talking about eschatology. âHermeneuticsâ refers to how a person or group interprets the Bible. A personâs hermeneutic is the lens through which they look at scripture. The…
I Never Knew You
A few times in the last couple weeks, I have found myself wondering, âHow well do I know the Lord? How well do I know Him *really*?â I can go black and white pretty easily so my first reaction was to doubt whether I knew the Lord at all. But after more reflection I decided…
Marionettes
Divisiveness has been around as long as people have been fallen. Â Nevertheless, different circumstances and stressors make division more pronounced or push us further into it. This past year and a half has been trying for all of us. Â COVID, economic instability, and ongoing social unrest can make it challenging to get through the day….
The Voice of One
The Voice of One started in about 2006 with the goal to speak, not for myself, but as the voice of AnotherâChrist. The name is taken from John the Baptist. Religious leaders asked him if he was the Christ, and he said he wasnât. When they asked who he was, he answered, âI am a voice…
