Memoir
This post is also available as a podcast: https://anchor.fm/teague-mckamey/episodes/Memoir-e1o6jga *** A month or two ago, a friend acquainted me with a band called My Epic. I was checking out some of their songs when one came on with simple, prodding piano. Singing started but I really wasn’t paying much attention. The music continued to build….
Thy Way, Not Mine, O Lord
This post is also available on The Voice of One Podcast: https://anchor.fm/teague-mckamey/episodes/Thy-Way–Not-Mine–O-Lord-e1idi52 I’ve been reading The Oxford Book of Christian Verse, and came across a work by Horatius Bonar: “Thy Way, Not Mine, O Lord.” Though presented as a poem in the book I’m reading, I discovered it is a hymn. (Listen here). Bonar’s words…
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 you’d like to learn more about my poetry, visit my poetry blog: A Wandering…
Picture Jesus
Periodically, the Voice of One features guest posts by my friend, Cameron Fultz. Cameron and I connected about 10 years ago over a book he wrote called Jesus Pictures. Since then, Cameron has written a score of books sharing how he sees Jesus in Bible stories. I share this approach to scripture, and we can…
Weakness: Escape it or embrace it?
Two weeks ago, my friend, James Acree, preached at his church on 2 Corinthians 12:9-10. This has been a precious passage to me the last 10 years or so. Among others, the Lord has used it to completely reorient my faith. (For my thoughts on these verses, click here and here). I really appreciated what…
And Death Shall Have No Dominion
Last year, I became acquainted with a poem by Dylan Thomas called, “And Death Shall Have No Dominion.” Like Thomas’s other poems, it is filled with dense and sometimes startling language. I doubt I understand it any more than I understand Thomas’s other poems. But I try 😉 The quality of Thomas’s faith also isn’t…

His Voice in My Heart
Some years ago I came across a blog entitled, “Wordscroll.” I noticed immediately that this blog was different; the posts were all written in first person as words from God. Now, I’ve hung around charismatic and pentecostal circles for a long time and heard lots of “words” before. Some have been rich with the Holy…
Babe of Bethlehem
About 20 years ago, my wife and I became acquainted with the music group, Nowell Sing We Clear. We were immediately struck with the way their lively music focused Christmas on Christ. Truly, they sing nowell clear. “Babe of Bethlehem” is one of their songs I’ve come to love because of its presentation of who…
