@stevecusswords @BethMooreLPM I listened to this episode yesterday—what a great discussion. Thank you both!

Between 93–95% of the in-person time you’ll spend with your children will happen before they turn 18. The final 5–7% will be stretched out over the next 50 years. Parent with that reality in mind. —@JonTyson

Introducing a new look for OCC! We’ve updated our logo, focusing on the cross of Christ as we continue to make him known through the church. Logos come and go, but our mission of training men and women for Christian service remains the same.

✈️ Launch Day is almost here! Mark your calendar for APRIL 7, when Nathan hits the road (sky) for Yokohama! 🇯🇵 Please join us in praying as he starts an exciting new season. God is so faithful, you guys. Philippians 1:6

When I text someone and it says, "Delivered quietly," I hear my text being whispered to them. 🤫

@Ben_Is_Second Ooo, Tagalongs! She IS a good woman.

@amystorms 3 boxes of thin mints, 2 boxes of Tagalongs, 2 boxes of samoas.

When are the Girl Scouts selling their cookies? I’m ready. 🍪

@Ben_Is_Second An excellent wife—who can find?? What a woman. Thin mints, I hope.

@amystorms Leah brought home 7 boxes yesterday.

All I want to do is read books but everyone else wants me to answer their emails.

@racheljwelcher @EvanWelcher Praising God with you!! 🤍

Baby is alive! We saw the small flicker of a heartbeat. I have a small subchorionic hemorrhage that was causing the bleeding but shouldn’t pose a threat to baby. We are in awe of God’s kindness and answered prayer!

@racheljwelcher Praying 🤍

Update for those praying: my bleeding has started and stopped a few times, and we won’t know if baby is alright until my appointment this Thursday. Until then, we are praying “thy will be done,” with open, shaky hands.

Thank you for this wonderful service, @butterball. Stuffing should be stuffed inside the turkey, am I correct? If I cook stuffing inside the turkey, is there a chance I could kill my guests? I'm not saying that's necessarily a deal-breaker.

The list of things I don’t know is unending. But this one thing I do: entrust your life into the hands of Christ and he will be faithful to you. Though at times it will seem there’s no direction at all—no meaning, no feeling, no leadership nor light—put one foot in front of the other and walk by faith. “You are with me, Jesus. You will keep me. My hope is in you. I will trust your words.” Don’t put a timer on your trust. No “I’m giving you till January.” Just keep going. And Jesus will take you places by those ruptured roads, dry riverbeds and empty hollows you’ll live to say you wouldn’t have wanted to miss for the world. This wonder, this miracle, this mystery of belief in this Lord we’ve never seen and yet are summoned to know is that, if we’ll trust him the merest whit and walk by faith that his words are true, we’ll realize in retrospect it was him all along we followed in the hollow precisely where he wanted us to go. The holy hollow. Anywhere with Jesus is a place worth going.

@NDStorms @FlintDSpencer True story! So funny.

@FlintDSpencer Congratulations! 🤍

Great Moments in Biblical Typography:

@rigatoneys @caragsdale Oh, I know! I meant “we” as in Andy and me, not “we” as in Joplin. I can’t speak for the rest of town or everyone else in Chad’s real life.

@amystorms @caragsdale I hope you both know I’m just messing with you guys. I love my Joplin fam!

Succession is the absolute favorite TV show of Twitter and like half the podcasts I listen to. Literally no one in my real life has ever even heard of it. There needs to be a word for this phenomenon.
