I asked for wonder.
And God gave it to me.”

Greetings! - I’m Rhonda Joy Rubinson—a Brooklyn-born, Jersey-raised, Manhattan dweller with a lifelong devotion to faith, creativity, and perseverance. Whether serving as an Episcopal priest, illuminating stages as a lighting designer, or sharing my thoughts, experiences, and guidance through writing and preaching, I've always sought to give voice to the various joys and challenges of my life in the hope of connecting with and helping others. Allow me to accompany you through the uncertainties, joys, and challenges of living life in our world today. Enter into this site and you will find: help navigating the journey of a cancer diagnosis, guidance on how to read scripture, social-historical-theoretical essays on the state of world, a "new take" on the story of Moses and the Exodus, and much more. Welcome!
Books, Essays, and Sermons to Help You Navigate Life's Challenges
Hard questions deserve thoughtful, spirit-filled guidance. Lessons of the Spirit deals with the practical and spiritual challenges of a cancer diagnosis for us or someone we love, while Steroid Spirituality offers strong scriptural grounding to help all of us - especially young people - resist the pressures and temptations to cheat to get ahead in life, and Pharaoh Moses shows us how to read scripture in a new way.
Whatever you're striving for,
keep at it!
