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.

Weapon
Praying for your enemy is the ultimate weapon, Because it is a weapon that only heals. What enemy can exist if one prays for the other? If one loves their enemy, they cease to be an enemy At least in … Continue reading
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
Simple
It seems like a simple idea. If I’m screwing up, I want someone to let me know. Except when I don’t. Except when I think I’m right. Except when I know that what I have in mind is the right … Continue reading
Cut and Tie
Bonds like ropes link us to one another. It is easy to cut those ropes, with words, with thoughts, with rash actions without any reflection. These bonds are cut, But they can be reunited. They can be tied together. Tying … Continue reading
Daggers
Evil talk is our first language. Hardly a minute goes by unless someone is complaining insulting, hating openly. Judgment is our favorite hobby. Word daggers rain from our devices Blazing like wildfires in the minds of millions And we pass … 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
Interrupt
God is annoying. I have a planner. I have schedule. God always interrupts it in the most inconvenient of ways. When God sends someone in need, who am I to deny help? When God calls on me to act as … Continue reading
There
Is God there when you do not feel him? Is Jesus real even if you didn’t meet him in person? Is the Spirit available when she does not seem there? To a believer, these questions seem silly on the surface. … Continue reading
Knit
My family is small, and close, and knit by blood but I have another family much broader that is bound by the body and the blood. This family is not perfect. What family is? There is much strife and division … Continue reading
