Ferocity — Shannon Dingle

Shannon Dingle

Welcome, my friends

I tend to write about all the topics that are considered unspeakable: religion, politics, privilege, misogyny, racism, ableism, and more...

I don't stir the pot to make mischief, I promise. I stir the pot because sometimes it needs to be stirred, just like the Holy Spirit stirs our souls as needed.

that moment when you’re planning to sit down for just a moment and your furbabies are just sure you invited them too

Some church leaders have responded to breaking sexual assault news in ways that have me mentally crossing off their churches ever to attend, their organizations ever to partner with, and the conferences ever to speak at. Survivors are watching to see

sometimes friends show love by sending pizza for the whole family and chocolate cake for you and your husband to have a post-bedtime chocolate cakes. my people are the best people.

I wear winter hats inside, because they’re cozy. #amwriting #towriteloveonherarms #givingtuesday @twloha (Also, the yellow spined book behind me? It’s @kaitlincurtice’s Glory Happening. Buy it, y’all.)

Y’all. My email. It’s a problem. No, not the ridiculously high number... the 666. Someone needs to email me. (Of course, deleting emails would never cross my mind.)

Life is good when Auntie @lisespieces brings you back candy and toys banned in the US. #kindereggs

I started the morning in a new gray sweater. It was super cute, y’all.

I love my littles. ❤️ (Not pictured: the one napping, the one reading, and the one at the barber shop.)

The dogs seem to approve of the new couch. #dogsofinstagram

I’m fully known and loved by God. May my heart believe those words deeply and my mind believe them so that they root deep into my bones.

hey @vickiereddy I tried! I mean, I think this attempt Thursday was maybe better than @prophiphop’s attempt in your pic with him and @annvoskamp but only marginally. 😂 #vickiedoesitbest

part of how i do what i do is by doing my own work first. so, today, it’s therapy time.

No Ruby Woo. Just chapstick. Because I. Am. Home. (Well, at the airport, about to have @lisespieces pick me up!)
