“In conferring with other pastors, I’ve learned my congregation is no anomaly,” writes a pastor who himself has suffered from depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. On why the church needs vulnerability: christianitytoday.com/ct/2023/septem…

I’m 43 years old. Wife. Kids. Dog. Gainfully employed. And I literally cannot leave any basketball court: regulation; nerf; 6 foot hoop- ANY court, without making my last shot. Physically incapable of doing that

Despite a prior suicide attempt, threats toward his family, & police confiscating his knives the shooter LEGALLY purchased the weapons used on July 4 in #HighlandPark. Those killed were not victims; they were sacrifices offered to America's Baal, the gun.

Esau McCaulley is a wonder. His blend of biblical and liturgical themes is precisely what the church (not to mention the state) needs to hear. As one who has devoted my life to the problem of evil, I've rarely heard it so well laid out in a short space. nytimes.com/2022/06/10/opi…

We praise Rationality. At the expense of the Visual, Embodied, Intuited, and Aural. My great-grad— Mandy Green, peace be upon her— used to say, “boy, you got two eyes and ears, a ‘gut’ and a whole little body in addition to your brain.

@cvtinsle The Reformed tradition especially seems to treat humans as if we are brains on a stick! We need a deeper theology anthropology.

Liturgy must be ... COMMUNAL (the community prays as one), CLEAR (simple to understand), CONCISE (not ponderous or novel), CORRECT (reflecting creedal Christianity), CYCLICAL (repeated often), but also COMPELLING (beautiful to the ear and the heart). - from a wise mentor !

The story of Mars Hill may have been very different, and perhaps the story of many of our churches would be different, if women were valued and empowered as the leaders God has designed and gifted them to be.

When we exclude women from leadership, we are harming not just women themselves but the body of Christ as a whole

What struck me the most after listening to the latest episode of #RiseandfallofMarsHill is the near complete lack of female leadership and female voices in the story of Mars Hill.

At a planning meeting this morning for the planning of the National Slavery Museum in Richmond. So exciting to envision what could be. “We cannot heal the deep wounds inflicted during the era of racial terrorism until we tell the truth.” -Bryan Stevenson

@StefanPaas Somehow this is weirdly comforting that humans are still just... humans.

I'm on a mission to help "the youths" learn about and recover the ministry and thought leadership of John Stott. He's a vital voice in the face of current fracturing of evangelicalism. Here's an interview I recently gave on a podcast about his legacy. thestottlegacy.podbean.com
