Jared Odenbeck

@stirling_j @albinsheqiri @albinsheqiri Is a top coach! Remember the name.

Thanks to @albinsheqiri for sharing his observations from Bodø/Glimt's training exercises. You can really see how these attacking principles come alive in games. The combination play is beautifully smooth in the final 30m, shared references and language of play.

In his excellent book, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, historian Carl Trueman argues that the dominant worldview of the contemporary secular West is what he calls “expressive individualism.” This is the idea that “each of us finds our meaning by giving expression to our own feelings and desires” (46). The Enlightenment philosopher Rene Descartes is famous for the dictum, “I think, therefore I am.” Expressive individualism is captured by the motto: “I feel, therefore I am.” Or perhaps, “I am what I feel I am.” “And,” the reasoning goes, “in order for me to be my authentic self, I must give unfettered expression to those feelings. And because I am my feelings, any contradiction of my psychological beliefs about myself—any failure to affirm and validate those feelings—is a hateful threat to my very self. It is violence against my personhood.” That is western culture over the last 15 years, especially as promoted by the political left. It’s why “speech” is called “violence.” It’s why words are spoken of as being “weaponized.” Everything is a weapon if I am under attack when my feelings aren’t affirmed. Any lack of wholehearted affirmation and even celebration of my feelings—and certainly the notion that my feelings ought to change in order to be brought in line with objective reality—is virtually the same as wanting me to die. It’s not difficult to see the implication: I have to kill you before you “kill” me. There is a straight line between the deification of one’s own feelings to the political assassinations (and attempts) that we are now seeing more of. But the answer is to this is: you are not your feelings. You are what God your Creator says you are: a creature, made in His image, male or female as He has designed you, created to glorify and honor Him. And yet you have fallen into sin and corruption through disobedience to God’s law, and that disobedience earns you the just penalty of eternal punishment for your sins in hell. But the Father has sent His Son into the world, (1) to live the perfect life of obedience you and I have failed to live, and (2) to die the substitutionary death that you and I were required to die (but couldn’t survive), bearing the penalty of divine wrath that sin deserves, and (3) to rise from the grave in victory over sin and death. And He promises that if you will turn from your sin and trust Christ alone for your righteousness before God, your sins will be forgiven. If you repudiate yourself and find your identity in Jesus, He will replace the sinking sands of your feelings with the solid rock of truth. And He will be to you all the satisfaction and fulfillment that you could ever wish. Expressive individualism is willing to take the lives of others in pursuit of self-actualization. The Gospel is: Jesus was willing to surrender His life in pursuit of others’ salvation. We live consistently with that Gospel when we lay down our lives to pursue others’ freedom. A nation can only survive on one of those worldviews. The answer to our country’s brokenness is the Gospel of Jesus Christ alone.

Min torsdagskolumn om Mjällby. Det är inte snålblåst, ogästvänlig hemmaatmosfär eller kampvilja som ligger bakom underverket. Sveriges mest progressiva fotbollsklubb förtjänar en ny image. expressen.se/sport/kronikor…

@SolBrah You’re being far too harsh here. Top 3 city in the world if we’re being real.

Copenhagen is a top 5 city 🇩🇰

NICKLAS BENDTNER on TV, debuting a glorious mullet. Truly incredible, no messing around, full business at the front, party at the back, eighties throwback mullet. Danish Jaromir Jagr. 🤣

@__SimonSays__ Det stämmer inte alls. Jag har inte varit inblandad i något bråk. Jag slutade i SIF igår för att klubben visar med sina beslut att de har inte ambitionen och standarden som jag önskar. Det är synd att du slänger ut rykten som om det vore sanning.

Det ryktas att Jared Odenbeck varit inblandad i bråket med Albin Sheqiri och har även fått till mig att även han slutar i SIF! Vilken soppa!

För ganska precis ett år sedan gick förre Helsingborgs IF-spelaren Jesper Björkman ut och berättade att han drabbats av ALS. Vi träffade 30-åringen på Olympia under HIF:s ALS-match mot Utsikten.

What the cross is all about. One of the most beautiful quotes I’ve ever read.

The law demands perfect righteousness, but the gospel grants it.

You forgot: ▪️A top, top guy with incredible character! Congrats on the move mate! @jordanfarr0
