Call me Molly.
A second-career pastor, I am ordained Elder in the United Methodist Church serving in parish ministry.
I love running my mouth about God.
I love thinking about Spirit.
I love reading, writing, and making art about Jesus Christ.
I love it all, because Everything, in its many little bits and pieces, all adds up to One.

What is Knappen.org?
This is a site full of spiritual tools, inside jokes, little recordings, bad reels, books, teaching posters, crafting weirdness, and swag because I just love this stuff.
Everybody needs a hobby.
Everything here is my work, unless otherwise noted. Should I become impaired, busy, or find myself beyond the bounds of wifi, I may ask someone to help me process orders. Otherwise, you are dealing with me.
Religion is a language.
Religion is a language of the soul. My soul speaks the language of Christ.
Christians can choose to “speak” their faith with spiritual practices and service to the world. Christians can “speak” the language of Christ with their compassion and insistence upon justice for the marginalized. We can also “speak” our faith with malice– and many Christians do.
Don’t be confused by a Christian accent: Jesus gifted us a scaffold for liberation, not a cage. Grace is the birthright of all creation. Grace is your birthright, too. You are beloved by God without reservation and beyond measure. Yes, you.
What strange movement of the Spirit led you to this site and these words, I will never know.
Thanks for stopping by.
