I'm not gonna lie. I enjoyed being called savvy. One of the best things to come out of my cognitive science learning experiences is my friendship with Andrew Watson. He is kind and wise, but he also has a strong BS meter; so his endorsement means a lot to me.

@jdgreear @jenniferwilkin If something needs to be said it means it isn't evident. If it isn't evident, it may not be true. May not. May be. I would hope faithfulness of a teacher would be quite evident to the church. It didn't really have to be said what books were canon. It was evident to the church.

If it needs to be said, @jenniferwilkin is a faithful Bible teacher and faithful woman of God. She has blessed our women here so many times and encouraged our staff. She is a great leader and I’ve learned a great deal from her.

@RepNancyMace No, they aren't. You're just saying they are to score points.

Remember when being anti-communist actually united us as a country.
And now half of the country is communist.

@conservmillen That's always been true, but the recent change is numbers reflects exactly what was said in the poll.

The Billy Graham Center Research Institute surveyed Gen Z adults, and 48% agreed with this statement: "Christians' support of Trump has made me less likely to go to church."
There may be many reasons a person won’t go to church, but most of the reasons people give are excuses.
The main reason, I think, is this: we are uncomfortable seeing our own sin and our need for a Savior.
Apologists @askcliffe and I discuss:

On Monday morning, when I was mowing the yard, I did not want to, but I reminded myself of this. "Your future self will thank you." It started raining at 1 that afternoon and has rained 3.5 inches since then. So, I'm making it true by saying "Thank you past self."

@learningandtheb Oh, my yes! When Smart Boards were a bigthing, they got one for my classroom. I got a day of training on how it functioned and none on pedagogy with it.
For all the impact it had on my lessons., they may as well have given me a chisel and stone.

"Understanding how to USE #edtech" and "understanding how to TEACH WELL with edtech" are two distinct skill sets. The difference between the two matters, a lot, says Ammar Merhbi:

We should be handing out raindrop stickers (or gold stars or something) this morning. Only the truly dedicated are coming out in this weather to work out.

@Teacher_Fulton Yep, the trauma informed movement has so much harm to those with actual trauma. When you get to the point where you think, "Oh, who doesn't have it?" the people really need help will not get it.

Trauma is serious.
But concept creep is doing its best to manufacture trauma out of normal life experiences.
“Trauma-informed” education is particularly bad on this front.

Yes. They’ve been doing it for a long time, but now more people than ever are going to therapy. When I was 19, back in 2008, I got a new therapist who introduced me to the idea that abuse could also be “emotional” or “psychological,” not just physical or sexual, and convinced me that my parents were abusive. We didn’t speak again until 2013, five years later, when my mom was diagnosed with cancer. We’re very close now, but I can’t get that time back with them, nor can I undo the bad decisions I made while trying to navigate young adulthood on my own. Now I’m very critical of trauma narratives. The concept creep of “trauma” and “abuse” has expanded those terms so much that any flaws or mistakes on your parents’ part are increasingly recast as forms of harm that cause irreparable damage, making them an easy scapegoat for any dissatisfaction you have in your life.

@drewdyck David actually didn't dance naked, and see how bad Biblical exegesis can end up punishing innocent people, Drew.

@drewdyck David danced naked, so I think they are ok

@Carpe_D_M__ @Apostolicunfl God absolutely deserves worship but he doesn’t need it and that’s not why he created us
English
How can you attend this “church” and think “yea, this is how the awesome God of the Universe is supposed to be worshipped,”?
English
@Ggski202 @Apostolicunfl When it is God, it is not ego. If He is not worthy of worship, then He is not God. You can't apply the same terms that you would with humans.
English
@Apostolicunfl Well what’s sad is that they think God’s ego is so big that the whole reason he created us was to have a bunch of his followers to worship him
English
@Apostolicunfl From your post, I was expecting to see some lurid dance moves or something.
What I'm seeing are people making a joyful noise. It doesn't have to be your cup of tea, but that also doesn't make it wrong.
