My Name is Miche (Like Quiche)
Ever played the name pronunciation game? I have, more times than I can count. "Is it Mitch?" "Is it Mee-sheh?" I'd patiently respond, "It's pronounced Meesh," until one day, inspiration struck. I remembered Sarah Dietschy, a YouTuber who brilliantly introduces herself as "Sarah Dietschy, rhymes with Peachy." It's UX design at its finest - preempting questions before they're asked. So, let me lay it out for you: I'm Miche (Like Quiche). And just like a quiche, I'm a delightful mix of ingredients while still being uniquely me.
My heritage is a global potluck: Papuan/Indonesian from Mom, Jewish/Italian courtesy of Dad. And don't even get me started on my gender and sexual orientation - that's a whole other flavor profile.
My career path? It's been quite the culinary tour. In my 20s, I was serving up history lessons as a teacher. My 30s saw me plating digital experiences as a UX Designer. Now, in my 40s, I'm dishing out advice as a management consultant. But wait, there's more! Throughout this professional smorgasbord, I've been spiritually catering in churches - worship leader, pastor, minister - you name it. Oh, and I've been garnishing my education with an MA in Global Leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary and a DMin from Pacific School of Religion.
Now, UX/Consulting & Theology might sound like an odd pairing - think pineapple on pizza - but trust me, it works. This unique blend has given me some exceptional insights into user journeys, or as we say in theological circles, spiritual journeys.
Sunday Brunch
Every Sunday, treat yourself to a freshly baked newsletter that's as diverse and satisfying as your favorite quiche. It's free, it's weekly, and it's filled with my thoughts that are sure to nourish your mind. Here's what's on the menu:
Family Slice: A generous helping of our married life musings. You loved it on Instagram, now get a weekly dose of heartwarming (and sometimes tear jerking) family insights.
This Week's Special: The news item that caught my eye and set my brain buzzing. From politics to local oddities, it's the entrée you didn't know you needed.
The Crust of the Matter: Where my theologian hat comes on, and things get... interesting. Prepare for some theological thoughts that might just make you say, "Huh, I never thought of it that!" (because my brain is slightly weird)
Bytes: My inner tech geek emerges! MKBHD may have beaten me to YouTube stardom, but that won't stop me from geeking out about techie things that are related to theology. From theology apps to video games to Tim Wildsmith, it's all fair game.
Pie To Go: A little taste of what's coming up in my world. Consider it your theological appetizer for the week ahead.
Spill the Tea
Every Thursday, steep yourself in a bold brew of theological insights that might just make your ancestors clutch their pearls. This paid, weekly newsletter dives headfirst into the murky waters of theology and life, armed with the lenses of ambiguity and intersectionality. Warning: May cause cognitive dissonance and/or enlightenment.
Clobber Verses, the Remix: Buckle up as we dissect those seven infamous passages. We'll explain why they're not actually about homosexuality, then plot twist - reveal the inherent homophobia lurking within. It's like a theological M. Night Shyamalan film.
Bible Study or Word Salad? Sure, personal interpretation of Scripture is great, but sometimes it's not up for debate. We'll navigate the treacherous waters of anachronisms, conflations, and homonyms. Because no, Jesus wasn't talking about your iPhone.
The Bible's Problematic Faves How do we deal with a collection of books written from a heteronormative perspective? We'll tackle misogyny, racism, and homophobia in the Bible head-on. And yes, It's going to be complicated.
