Hey @philvischer — why is the internet yelling at me about the creeds? I blame you. I demand you take a stand at guilt-by-association with people you actually have virtually no association with. (I mean I've been on your show but I don't think ever with you.)

To do anything in the shadow of Stevie Ray Vaughn (or Elmore James for that matter) is brave. My goodness, if you don't know that Derek Trucks is the GOAT at this point, this thing should remove all doubt. This solo is so outrageous, so lyrical, so virtuosic. Good grief. youtube.com/watch?v=Wr_9yt…

@PastorMark Come on, dude, you used to not be afraid of anything. Are you afraid of a 45 year old Kentucky hillbilly and a couple of microphones?

Heresy and apostasy. That’s what we want you to say. Not “flawed.”
Mike Cosper@MikeCosper

What do you need me to say, @pastormark? That I think his theology is flawed? Yeah… I do think that. He’s an American politician from the mainline tradition — of course I think his theology is flawed. It's not like we haven't seen people like him before. It's not like there aren't dozens of mainline folks in the halls of Congress currently. I'll dive into debate on this theology any time, and you'll find that you and I probably agree more than we don't. I'm still evangelical. I'm still reformed. I actually think I'm a little more reformed than you these days. But the point of the conversation, like the point of MUCH conversation of non-MAGA evangelicals around the Talarico phenomenon, is that he is resonating with people who appreciate his manner, his style, his attempt to embody a certain character that is more recognizably Christian than the harsh, brazen, and at times vulgar manner that has characterized MAGA. That doesn’t excuse policy positions I find reprehensible. Nor did I say it did. That doesn’t amount to an endorsement either. I would never vote for a politician with his policy positions. It’s called “Political analysis” and it’s about “why is this working for some people?” Now… don’t change the subject here, Mark — when do we get to talk? I'm happy to add Talarico to the agenda.

I love this so much. Hey buddy, I have never interviewed him. I offered commentary about why he was having success with centrists, and why his leaning into Christian language and character was working with voters.
The Daily Controversy With Chris Reid@DAILYCONTROVERS

@MikeCosper @PastorMark Mike.... Let's stop playing games here, I heard the interview with you & James & it seems like you guys connected on a lot more than your hatred of MAGA. Something I couldn't put my finger on....

@MikeCosper There were no selective edits. The podcast is up for anyone to listen for themself. If we missed the part where you called @jamestalarico a heretic and apostate, please post the sound bite.

Oh I’m woke. Point to one policy position I’ve taken that’s “woke”. I’m so excited to see it.
Torn Curtain I Joshua Simone@Torncurtainorg

@MikeCosper Just to be fair to Mark your platform has gone woke and sliding toward apostacy. If you want to be taken seriously then change platforms

Seriously @pastormark — you blocked me, so I can't respond to your nonsense. Let's have a real conversation. I'll come to your office. Or your living room. Or wherever you want to meet. But if you think that I, with hundreds of hours of recorded material and tens of thousands of words on politics and culture, am in any way endorsing the progressive ideas of Talarico, that either means you don't understand political ideology, or you are the victim of tragic and profound incompetence.

Mark Driscoll, you coward, you refuse interviews from me, block me, and now selectively edit me (I know you didn't do the edit, some poor, terrified intern did it) — point to anything I've ever written or spoken that endorses progressive politics of progressive theology. You won't. Because you can't. Now when you get the courage for it, let's have that 1:1 conversation — on the record. I'll live stream it. Let's go tough guy.

In 2017 I published recapturing the wonder which was about spiritual formation in a secular age. For the last couple of years, I’ve wondered if the book is even relevant anymore because I think people are just asking different questions about life and spirituality and meaning . I still think we’re dealing with secularity on all kinds of levels, but I also think the ground is clearly shifting in stories like this seem to underline it People want meaning and I don’t think they’re looking for it in the immanent anymore

Great observations and cross-references, Mike! You know what was fascinating? During the panel Q&A, all the questions that were directed at me were not “consultant/business” related; it was like they wanted pastoral counsel. “How do we help my adult child who is crippled with anxiety?” “How do I deal with my ex?” “How much more hardship can I take?” They needed a priest more than a leadership guru. It was fascinating and powerful.

I just got to spend 3 hours at a major corporate event doing a breakout, a workshop, and a panel for about 100 business leaders in cultivating resilience for themselves and on their teams…I’m blown away by two things: 1. There is a deep hunger for safe spaces to talk about pain. (There was so much vulnerability and there were so many tears.) 2. God’s wisdom works in the wild aka in the world. (It was fun to see principles from scripture integrated with the social sciences— without using scripture or Jesus directly— resonate so deeply with people in a “secular” space. )

“They started it” is an amazing claim when for the better part of five decades Iran has chanted “Death to Israel”, funded terror proxies, and, oh, yeah, that whole Hamas / 10/7 thing too.
Cenk Uygur@cenkuygur

Israel is getting hit pretty badly right now. They're not talking about it since they don't want anyone thinking the war is going poorly. But soon they'll switch to victim mode. You'll see all over your TV, "Poor, poor Israel is being attacked by evil Iran." Um, they started it.

Gabe Dixon’s “Violins” might be the best song I’ve heard in a decade or more. So brilliantly constructed, arranged, and produced.
