April 2025 Ask Me (Almost) Anything

I hope y'all remembered to file your taxes 😬

Once a month, I publish a post where I encourage people to send in questions about just about anything. It can be sports related. Pop culture related. It can be about my opinions on food. We’ve covered a ton of ground! But often, I get questions about theology and the Bible. And I love those questions.

These posts are for the paying subscribers of The Son Do Move, as their generous support helps make a lot of my creative endeavors possible. However, I’m not ignorant as it pertains to the economic situations many of us are facing. I don’t want money to be the barrier to community. If you’d like to participate in these posts or take advantage of all of the other benefits of a full subscription to The Son Do Move (like accessing the full archive of posts), but a paid subscription isn’t for you right now: send a message to teamtrey05@gmail.com and we can get you plugged in.

I’ve been reading a lot of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s work lately, because it just feels… appropriate.

In a season in which we are regularly confronted by our societal capacity for evil, I have to be pretty intentional about remaining open to being surprised by people’s capacity for good.

One of Dr. King’s more consistent reminders was that he was not fighting to defeat opponents, but to defeat injustice. In fact, his goal was to win opponents over, not to humiliate them.

And it’s that sort of ethic I find inspiring, even if difficult to emulate.

As I try to grow to that level of compassion, I’ve adopted the practice of sending out a daily reminder:

Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.
