To all who broke generational patterns of sin, giving love you never received and acting in ways you never experienced; to all who have been formed by great dads and modeled them, never letting the baton in the relay race drop; I say, Happy Father's Day.

Everyone’s talking about this big news out of NYC, and I agree the zoo reopening after 8 months is a pretty big deal. mommypoppins.com/new-york-city-…

Today my second grader arrived at the playground with nothing but a dream: he wanted a squirt gun. He acquired 3 Pokemon cards for free, sold the Pokemon cards for $5, and triumphantly purchased the squirt gun. It's official: @dustinetheridge & I are raising Dwight Schrute.

Christianity can provide: *a meaning in life that suffering can’t take away *a satisfaction not based on circumstances *a freedom that doesn’t turn community and love relationships into thin transactions *an identity that is not fragile, not based on performance or exclusion

Christianity can provide: *a way to deal with guilt and to forgive without residual bitterness or shame *a basis for seeking justice that doesn’t turn you into an oppressor yourself *a way to face not only the future but death itself with poise and peace

Some pro-choice views are so defeatist, even nihilistic. "The world is too overpopulated and we'll run out of resources. People in poverty aren't fit to be parents. Disabled children will have too low a quality of life." Dark stuff.

This is an @MTA worker going above and beyond to rescue an $80 ear bud from certain death. 👏

"The ashes of Ash Wednesday come from the palm leaves that were burned after last year’s Palm Sunday. ... Ashes speak of mourning and regret ... What better call to return to our first love than to be marked with the ashes of our past enthusiasm?" billygraham.org/story/observin…

Everyone in the world is an evangelist. Even telling someone they can't proselytize is a form of proselytizing your views.

Also, @dustinetheridge is behind the camera and is doing an outstanding job.

Our church and 80+ other Brooklyn churches are holding a prayerful, peaceful protest right now. Watch live: facebook.com/BridgeChurchNY… #praymarchact

@Johnny_2Hats @caitaceous Wow, crazy it’s been a year. That was one unforgettable wedding. Happy anniversary, you two!

We’ve decided to move services online to create social distancing and to minimize any outbreak of the Coronavirus. Check out our, FB and IG for the online service to be held at 4 pm this Sunday. It will also be posted on our Youtube page after Sunday along with our podcast.

(3/3) Our current church home @bridgechurchnyc will live stream a soul-stirring service today at 4 p.m. on Facebook Live. And @dustinetheridge is helping run this first-ever live stream. (No pressure!) facebook.com/BridgeChurchNYC This is what Noah & I will be watching at 4.

(1/3) Taking a short break from my social media hiatus to share some opportunities to hear a message of hope today. Sometimes it's good to hit pause on the news cycle and take a few minutes to breathe.

Really looking forward to kicking-off our new series this weekend. I hope you'll join me in our online campus! mecklenburg.org
