“Sometimes I don’t believe and I choose to anyway. Sometimes I believe because other people carry me.” A feast of doubts, by @hellobillups open.substack.com/pub/sarabillup…

"This book is for you, orphaned believer, weary from loss yet putting full hope in Jesus. It is also for you who have left church but remain compelled by the Christian story. Because the Spirit of God can work even, and especially, in our wandering." Get the ebook of @hellobillups’ Orphaned Believers for $3.99!

@MrWakefield4 Caleb, thank you!

@hellobillups — I loved this conversation!

@KenJaworowski @NekoCase @bandofhorses @LordHuron @BethanyCoast I listened to Lost in the Dream when I was writing my first book, esp the song Under the Pressure, literally hundreds of times. I think it's b/c at some point the lyrics fade back and you're just sort of in the zone.

Forgot: Also mentioned here are @NekoCase @bandofhorses @LordHuron and @BethanyCoast nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Thrilled to share that I'm writing a second book with @ReadBakerBooks. Introducing NERVOUS SYSTEMS, details in the link. sarabillups.substack.com/p/its-time-to-…

“I’d tack on that the scandal of the Christian aesthetic is that there has become no Christian aesthetic. And without gutsy people writing and making music and art, there can’t be a new Christian counter-culture.” — @hellobillups @ReadBakerBooks

If you are looking for hope amid a crumbling or combusting faith, this book by @hellobillups for you. It’s a no-BS, honest-to-God treatment of Jesus in the face of all the crap, all the fake glitter, and all the bitter disappointments with those who confess his name.

Cincinnati friends, can't wait to be in Over-the-Rhine tomorrow night at 213 Listening Room for a Night with #OrphanedBelievers. RSVP at the link > eventbrite.com/e/a-night-with…

ORPHANED BELIEVERS. If the church is going to find renewal, it must tend to the ones orphaned by the evangelicalism's failures of the past twenty years. This book by Sara Billups might be a good place to start. Check out this quick review by @ERBks englewoodreview.org/sara-billups-o…
