I will reiterate my statement we released at @CCPublicLife following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump's life: “It is not just the act of violence but the spirit of violence that must be opposed. It is not just the action to harm another which must be opposed but the desire that harm would fall to another. If we do not have the courage to pursue a politics of love, our political heart will become consumed by hate.”

@philvischer just catching up on the podcast from last week. Wish I’d known you’d been on the Danube. I would have taken you out for coffee here in Bratislava!

@JBay_AllTheWay @switchfoot @relientK This is brutal. Both such solid albums with some timeless songs.

Which album celebrating an anniversary today is your favorite? @switchfoot @relientK #CCMTwitter #CCMTournament2025

@JBay_AllTheWay @switchfoot It’s fun to see how many songs would be flipped for me from your list and the different ways these songs impact us. Daylight to Break in the top 20 is a solid move!

While I was working on my Jars Top 100 is for inspired to rework the @switchfoot Top 100 as well. #CCMTwitter #Switchfoot joshbalogh.wordpress.com/2025/02/01/eve…

@flynnslick Wind River. I did not expect a movie headlining Marvel stars to live rent free in my head for the rest of my life.

Alright tell me a movie that made you stare blankly at a wall for 20 minutes after it finished. One that you couldn’t stop thinking about and made you question everything.

I just read a list of administrative tasks a full time admin staff member could do for our team. Now I see why I feel so tired and why I feel like I have no time to do my actual job.

@_JimGarwood @PastorBenMarsh Perhaps not "underground" as much as subversive. A movement of new monastic communities has already been growing within the church in the West. People who take vows together to a basic rule of life together.

@PastorBenMarsh All things are possible! We have to have an online church to facilitate this. This might be the future: undergound churches in the US. 😬

@garonnevik Big if true.

Apparently, my pastor said in his sermon this morning that we can have hope, regardless of who wins the election, because the hope we have is in Christ. Shocking.

@abbyjperry I guess now you are obligated to swallow a spider to catch the fly.

I don’t really tweet anymore but I just tried to kill a fly by clapping it between my hands and instead the air from the clap pushed it into my mouth and I swallowed it. That’s exactly the kind of thing I used to want from this website.

@mbird12 You did always seem the type to teach truth and love well.

Today’s fashion is brought to you by Texas and Christianity.

@KaitlynSchiess Kaitlyn, thanks for being willing to get into good trouble even if you didn't know what it would lead to (the good or the bad). I think you more than attempted faithfulness, you demonstrated it!

Four years ago, I published this book that was my best attempt at faithfulness. The story since then is messy - this is a book that got me fired, tore my world apart, *and* brought me so many opportunities and joys. I wouldn’t want to live it again, but I am still so thankful.

@LeahBSassy Like a spotless lamb, very *cutesy*.

@JBay_AllTheWay @switchfoot Does every album besides TBLd qualify? Nothing is Sound and Vice Verses.

Which @switchfoot album is their most underrated/slept on? #CCMTwitter -#Switchfoot

@Ineverglow 20 years later and I’m still Getting Into You

What’s the best song on this CD? #CCMtwitter

@MikeCosper …Trump choosing to post a fake AI endorsement from Taylor Swift on Truth Social…

It seems like 2024 has the potential to be the election of the unforced errors. Biden's late exit, choosing Vance instead of someone with broader appeal, retconning Kamala's record, GOP alienating Pro-Lifers, snubbing Bibi and not responding forcefully to protestors...

@FreeRangeKids Nothing to Fear by Jackie French Koller was the first book I ever reread. It was so impactful during boyhood.

My Side of the Mountain Little Women The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe From the Mixed Up Files... What other children's books would you recommend for a list that inspires kids to be independent? (I realize this may be, "All of them." But give it a shot.)

@Svigel Yes! There’s a term for this right?

Theology 101: I’m sick of the “if-you-believe-A-then-you-open-the-door-to-B-which-gives-some-credence-to-C-which-is-related-to-D-which-often-results-in-E-and-most-who-hold-E-ends-up-in-F-which-is-heresy-so-holding-A-is-just-as-bad-as-being-a-heretic” line of argument.

@Ineverglow That dad is going down in flames. Tisk tisk tisk and shame shame shame.

This kid saved up all week for an ice cream. Spent $5. Dropped it after the 5th lick. I didn’t buy him another one. Life is hard, he took it well.

@Svigel Very excited to read this book! Irenaeus was referenced in a book I was reading yesterday and it made me very grateful to have taken your classes.
