@colinjfast I did a 4-5 week series on “What is the church” that taught people why we do what we do when we gather. And then continued our series in John

Pastor, when you were first installed at your church, what did you preach through? Why?

@jenniferwilkin Architecture also plays an important part of “setting the table” re: who is invited to join. I’d love for our churches to start asking questions like: “If we believe persons of all dis/abilities are a part of the Family of God, do our buildings facilitate that or not?”

As others have said, I don’t agree with all of it, but I’m glad to see it discussed. I grew up in churches whose architecture spoke of God at every turn. Bring back architecture/aesthetics that speak of a transcendent God and demand we call Him to mind: mereorthodoxy.com/12-theses-on-c…

@AJWTheology I love seeing the connection between architecture and the experience of the congregation. I’d also love to see something I coded here about the spaces where we worship have an intentionality for ensuring persons of all dis/abilities can co-labour in ‘the work of the people’

This is such a fascinating piece, and I agree with nearly all of it. Twelve theses on church buildings: mereorthodoxy.com/12-theses-on-c…

@jt_english I’m preaching this same text this Sunday. In John, Jesus washed feet and had his feet washed. So to love one another means a willingness to both serve and be served in a relationship of mutuality. Some of us don’t like to serve, others of us don’t want to be served!

Preaching John 13. Judas' betrayal, Peter's denial, and a new command. Some follow Jesus for the stuff (Judas). "He received and immediately left." Some follow Jesus for the fight (Peter). "I will lay down my life for you." Jesus' response: Love one another as I've loved you.

“Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name, by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power not one is missing.” —Isa 40:26

As you consider God's Word preached today, don’t settle for the mere exposition of God’s Word — seek an encounter with the Beloved.

@ronniejmartin I’d be like, “nor way!”

Imagine if this was your view from the porch.

@jasonkovacs “Phig Leaves” if you will.

Four “fig leaves” we use to cover our shame: - Possessions - what I have - Performance - what I do - Popularity - what others say about me - Persona - the version I want you to see - my costume

@Luke_Simon7 @CTmagazine I was really helped by this article, I've shared it with my colleagues as we try to lead in our church together. Thanks, Luke!

My newest piece @CTmagazine Gen Z is quietly reshaping church worship—young men gravitating toward tradition and liturgy, young women toward CCM—revealing a growing gender divide shaped by algorithms, values, and spiritual expression. christianitytoday.com/2025/05/gen-z-…

I’ve started following the @BlueJays this summer. Not due to their performance this year, but because our family are direct recipients of the good work of @JaysCare. Raising a kid with disabilities is $$, so free community baseball for him this year was a gift! Go Jays!

In my role as a pastor, I’m not trying to get everyone to agree on everything so much as I’m attempting to create environments where our disagreements don’t automatically become cause for disunity.

@ThabitiAnyabwil Ketchup, too? You find your way to Washington state and I can hook you up 😂

I wonder if one of my Canadian friends will smuggle me some All Dressed chips before this tariff war makes them $100/bag?? 🤔🤣

@colinjfast Love this. Congratulations, my friend.

The first printed copy of my book has just turned up at the office.

In the church, we have to deliberately let ourselves be transparent and accountable to others. We're a family.

Another excellent piece from @carmenjoyimes. Worth your time to read and reflect on her words here.

I’m honoured to have my article included in this list! Thanks for the shout out, @CTmagazine. And thanks to editor extraordinaire, @stefanimcdade.

@jasonkovacs I love this graphic. Thanks for making a visual of it

Here is a version I created. I use a quarterly rythm vocationally so I overlayed that. It is interesting to consider Calvin’s quarterly rythm of observing the Lord’s Supper but I personally prefer it weekly 11/
