Dr. Dawn Lewis Sutherland

I have updated my website with 2026 conferences where I’ve been invited to present. The first of which is right here at home: Liberty University’s Conference for Teaching Excellence (CTE) opening on January 14th. I have two presentations. One is an academic paper titled “Patience as Pedagogy,” and the other is a video presentation titled “Fostering Peace and Belonging in Digital Learning.” Both come from a deep concern for teaching that forms people, not just outcomes, especially in digital spaces. The conference is open to Liberty Educators, can count toward CECs, and outside educators have been and can be Invited! I will make both the paper & presentation available on my website after the conference is open. I hope you’ll check out all 2026 upcoming events and consider joining me! You can also see past presentations there. dawnsutherland.org/events/ Grateful for the conversations these spaces make possible. #TeachingAsFormation #PatientPedagogy #WholePersonLearning #TeachingWithCare #DigitalLearning

@TConfessionals @VickiJoyAuthor I published & copyrighted a book in 2025 that covers these topics. Her book is titled “From Eden to AI” and the description sounds very familiar. My book, published last year is titled, “From Babel to AI.” If @vickijoyauthor could contact me, that would be great.

@conservmillen @conservmillen if toxic empathy is even a thing, this is what it looks like.

I do believe that he didn’t think of this as a depiction of Jesus when posting. Still, there has to be more care and discernment here.

@JoelWebbon Can y’all pick a lane @JoelWebbon & @dalepartridge? Anti-women, anti-anybody-not-your-color, anti-law, anti-constitution, anti-empathy, anti-any-real-biblical-exegesis, anti… what am I missing here?

I sat. I waited. I wrote. 💔 On Death & Cancel Culture Killing one man, Silencing another. Neither is truth. Neither is better. Death is no triumph. Silence has no gain. All is wrought from a culture of pain. We clap for graves, Cheer for falls from grace, When vengeance condemns, We’re all erased. Cancel ….in any way, Pretends that justice is made, while revenge just sits, and sharpens her blade. None are immune, only delayed. Broken…proud…elated…true, We all march toward the same tomb, Forgetting, erasing, the very silence that devours the room. The same silence that pierced one man’s neck, worked to defeat another man’s breath. And, still ahe works to break those of us left. She dresses as power, She postures as just, but silence is silence, and ashes are dust. In every erosion, a celebration of death, lies the broken-hearted preparing for theft… of life, liberty, and the pursuit. To cheer and not grieve is to let vengeance loose. This is not about sides, left or right, not about loss, cancel culture, or national pride. It is to know we are all human in the end: Each breath a gift, not ours to erase, not ours to profane, not ours to praise the death of those who don’t agree, nor to shout into silence the ones who think differently. When we celebrate death or sanctify silence, we trade away our dignity, we surrender to violence. And, in that forgetting, in singing that unholy tune, you lose the very heart of what God meant to be you. #CharlieKirk #JimmyKimmel

@StephenKing … or, sir… violent people who find the means to a tragic end.

The motivation of the man who shot Charlie Kirk isn't clear (although he's probably mentally unstable--duh). What is clear is it was another example of American gun violence.

Honored to have presented at the Tyndale Fellowship Annual Conference in Derbyshire this month under the Philosophy of Religion group. My talk, From Babel to AI: Technology, Human Dignity, and Theological Ethics, explored how artificial intelligence and transhumanism are reshaping the moral and metaphysical ground beneath our feet. The core argument is simple but demanding. The modern technological imagination is not neutral; it is forming a new ontology of personhood, identity, and community. I engaged voices such as Jacques Ellul, Bonhoeffer, Moltmann, and Aquinas to examine how the covenantal vision of the imago Dei confronts algorithmic priesthoods and synthetic liturgies. This recording offers a condensed version of the full manuscript, focusing on what matters most: whether these systems will serve communion or fracture it, and whether the church will remember what it means to be human. 📽️ Watch the full presentation here: youtu.be/kWvoBv997zs?si… 📄 For those interested in the full academic manuscript: dawnsutherland.org/wp-content/upl… #AIandTheology #ImagoDei #TyndaleFellowship #Transhumanism #TheologicalEthics #JacquesEllul #Bonhoeffer #PhilosophyOfReligion

This is Clava Cairns, an ancient Bronze Age burial complex located near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. Built around 2000 BCE, the site includes three cairns, each surrounded by standing stones and aligned with the winter solstice sunset. Some stones are carved with mysterious cup marks, ancient symbols whose meanings are still debated. Were they maps, memories, or prayers? No one knows for sure. Likely used for elite burials and ritual observance, these cairns reflect a world attuned to time, light, and memory. Walking this passage means stepping into an ancient longing. These people were not only remembering the dead; they were searching for meaning woven into the fabric of creation. Even before Scripture, the human heart was already searching for God. #ClavaCairns #ScottishHighlands #ScotlandHistory #AncientRitual #ImagoDei #FromBabeltoAI #BronzeAgeScotland #ArchaeologistAtHeart

That’s a wrap! Literally, one of the best conferences I’ve ever attended! I learned so much & met some of the best people. Thanks Tyndale Fellowship & @LibertyU for an amazing experience! #FromBabeltoAI #PhilosophyofReligion #BrilliantMinds

@dougponder @Protestia When the pendulum swings far right, it will always swing far left. A reminder of Piper’s rhetoric: youtu.be/3OkUPc2NLrM?si…

“Following her ordination she oversaw communion and then preached a sermon the next week to the whole congregation.” —@Protestia For anyone who has been following Meyer’s trajectory, this is not surprising. But it’s still sad.

✍️ “Her silence was never emptiness; it was a protest too holy to be heard by hardened hearts.” —Dawn Sutherland Dawn’s story exposes how control disguised as faith harms women—and how Jesus set her free from bad theology.👉 Read: zurl.co/fltMa #Mutuality

Had a chance in between Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) International Conference sessions to visit the Uppsala Cathedral (ca. 13th century). We also got to see the Codex Argenteus, a 6th‑century Gothic Gospel manuscript written in silver and gold ink on royal purple vellum. The four Gospels were written in Gothic, the earliest attested Germanic language. Super cool! @LibertyU #SBL #EABS
