Grant Barnes, aka Grantimus Maximus, aka The Nerdcore Theologian. Currently, he is a PhD Candidate at the Graduate Theological Union at Berkeley, California. He is a graduate of Perkins School of Theology with a Masters Degree in Divinity. He graduated from Texas State University Cum Laude with a Bachelor's degree in English, minor in History. He watches way too many movies, reads too many books, listens to too much music, and plays too many video games to ever join the mundane reality people claim is the "Real World." He rejects your reality, and replaces it with a vision of what could be, a better one, shaped by his love for God.

Wolves
I like to imagine that I do not live surrounded by the enemies of God but frankly, that is not true. Wolves appear in all shapes and sizes And often regularly sit in pews Say the prayers Sing the songs … Continue reading

Chasm
There is a chasm between others and me A chasm of belief, of convictions and hate For if they knew what I believe and I they, There would be little love between us. The bridge between them is prayer. No … Continue reading
Grace in the Bearing
A song is drifting in my heart One of light and grace A song that tells me to bear my sister’s burden My brother’s burden For in the bearing there is grace. It breaks my heart For I have many … Continue reading
