Introducing Categories

Martinalia is my one-stop-shop for followers, listeners, viewers, and other Pewple following the Way of Christ by doing the Work of the Church. After all, you'll never reach any destination without walking, right?

Here are the content Categories you'll see here and across all Grunt Works assets.

—Adventures in Veteraning is the Grunt version of #MeToo, or "[insert mundane activity here] while black." Serving your country is supposed to be an adventure, but not the kind that leaves 17 of us every day wanting "to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far" than to embrace an endless Suck. *The primary content platform for Adventures in Veteraning is TikTok; https://www.tiktok.com/@iamloganmi

—Fightin' Words are intensive keyword studies that dive into the most difficult Greek and Hebrew texts of the Bible. If you don't know how to interpret human violence, you might mistakenly condemn the Iron Age war-criminal Christ was named after. Soldiers, however, don't have the privilege of ignoring the most disturbing stories of our spiritual forebears. That means the good news is incomplete without a martial hermeneutic.

—First Formation is spiritual exercise for rank and file believers who need a little faux-tivation to get up and pray. After three-ish seasons reflecting on the Revised Common Lectionary Daily readings, this flagship Grunt Works podcast has graduated to the weekly Sunday readings. Paid subscribers to First Foreword can access reflections a week in advance. *The primary content platform for First Formation is Buzzsprout; https://www.buzzsprout.com/2225259

—Punchy Little Proverbs are high ROI prescriptions for living your life fully in a world that expects you to sell yourself short. *The primary content platform for Punchy Little Proverbs is Bluesky; https://bsky.app/profile/iamloganmi.bsky.social
