On some days we must be the Good Samaritan. On other days we should ask, "How can we work to make the road to Jericho safer?"

@austintfischer Also, one of the best sermons you’ve preached :)

There's a migration away from faith & toward unbelief in the modern world. Charles Taylor describes it as a kind of weather that has settled in. And we can't change the weather, but we can make sure the Church is a place we teach ppl to faithfully weather our unbelieving weather.

@austintfischer Do you think Taylor meant “unbelief” in terms of “believing in nothing”? Idk if unbelief is actually a thing. Isn’t it more so *misplaced* belief in capitalism, politics, self actualization, individual autonomy etc. People *are* believeing, just in different things from grandma.

@PlanningCenter Can we pleeeeease get scheduled emails in PCO Registrations? Love, pastors who don’t want to set reminders to send emails.

If we hope to develop people who practice the spiritual discipline of evangelism or witness, we must also be helping them practice missional disciplines. @FoxJonah theupstreamcollective.org/post/forming-o…

Thankful for the opportunity to write for my friends at @TheUpstreamC! Check out my latest here:

@austintfischer But it’s easier to get mad at people on the internet

Been thinking about the modern phenomenon of living lives that are overly vicarious. Our lives are filled w/vicarious anger, suffering, conflict, anxiety, & this is exhausting because there's no hope of remedy because while all of it feels like ours, it's not really ours.

Foster Parent life be like

@oncor Been on hold with the emergency line about a popping transformer for almost 30 mins

Oncor response teams are actively responding to outages as strong wind gusts move throughout Dallas-Fort Worth & the Eastern portion of our service area. Remember: avoid fallen debris caused by strong winds. If you see a down power line, leave the area immediately & call 911.

Most churches use social media and online platforms to promote physical attendance instead of using them to promote spiritual disciplines. #metaChurch #DiscipleCLICK

The one day you wear a collared shirt and closed toed shoes to work and all your coworkers ask why you dressed up 😬

Anyone else’s significant other do the thing where they don’t *explicitly* ask you to do something but just, ya know, leave hints?

*No one* is interested in reading a blog before a recipe. *No one*.

@LarryMcCrary Totally agree they can be amazing. The coolest thing is when a family falls in love with a particular partner/location. Just have to think through all the variables!

@FoxJonah I love theory. We have actually used family teams for many years. It was strategic to our work then. I loved it but you make a great point on the length of the days. They are typically long as you noted and stamina makes a difference.

Would love to hear some benefits and challenges of having family mission trips? Should you even consider them? Working on a few @thupstreamc posts coming up in October.

Creepy listening Amazon ads have my interests right but my budget wrong, you know what I’m saying?

For graduation my wife upgraded me from the “seminarian side satchel” to the “pastor pack-pack”. She gets it
