Dirty Games & Big Blessings
This week's Treyslation digs into a pretty absurd story in Genesis 27, and how letting the text set the terms can liberate us in our relationship with the Bible.

Salvation & Chill

Crucifixion and Bad Religion

The Pilgrimage Podcast: Battle Rap, Preaching, Loving, and Theologizing
Hey everyone! No, your podcast app is not malfunctioning. This is not a Treyslation.
This is an episode of The Pilgrimage Podcast with Zeru Fitsum, and Zeru & I (Trey) had a really dope conversation I wanted to share with y'all while 3BM is in our offseason. You can check out The Pilgrimage Podcast wherever you listen to Treyslation. Everything beneath this is copied directly from The Pilgrimage shownotes:
Aye y'all?! What's good? We have a revisiting guest in Pastor R.G.A. "Trey" Ferguson III on this episode. We chop it up about how battle rap has influenced his preaching by way of helping him craft words that land and sit with people in meaningful ways. I had fun with this one, family. We talk about pastoral care, love, and accountability. Also, Trey is writing a book!! It's called Theologizin' Bigger and I'm anticipating it's release ever-so fervently. In all reality, I just really trust Trey and his heart for people and his walking according to the path God has him on.
If you'd like to financially support him on the way to publication, here is his GoFundMe where he explains the reason behind his fundraising technique as a Black Writer: https://www.gofundme.com/f/theologizinbigger
