what better way to announce a snow day. It's your snow day! youtu.be/FCarJEDvw8Y

Really fun to be Chicago am 1160's show "The Common Good" to talk about *Jesus Above School* and Christian Education. Short listen ... 10 minutes. omny.fm/shows/thecommo…

@rustyrockets If you’re in Nashville, come down to Franklin and see the Christian school where I work. Would love to show you around.

Nash Vegas, on the throne of Johnny Cash.

@drantbradley I’m moving to Franklin and can attest to the prices there

This is crazy!

@lecrae Make sure you get the bulk of your water consumption done early in the day. That last 20-30 oz of water takes work to get in every day, and if you’re still drinking after 8 you’ll be peeing all night

Starting 75 hard tomorrow. Anyone done it? Any suggestions or tips?

@Holden_Culotta Let's reimagine Christian education. No more college-prep only. Calling prep. College isn't the only way to image God or further His Kingdom. Let's build Christian schools that turn it all upside down. Would love to join the conversation.

Mike Rowe: “We’ve got $1.7 trillion in student debt on the books and we’ve got 7.6 million open jobs right now—most of which don’t require a 4-year degree.” “And we’ve got 6.8 million able-bodied men who are not only out of the workforce, they’re not looking.” “We took shop class out of high school, we robbed kids of the opportunity to see what that kind of work even looks like.” “Meanwhile, we told a whole generation of kids they were f**king screwed if they didn’t get a 4-year degree.” “How did college get so expensive? Nothing has gotten more expensive in the last 40 years than a 4-year degree. Not real estate, not healthcare, not energy, nothing.” “We keep telling kids they’re screwed if they don’t go in this direction. We free up endless money to loan them.” “Something beyond the tariffs, something beyond policy is gonna have to happen to make 22-year old go, yeah, I would consider” learning a trade. @mikeroweworks @TheoVon

@drantbradley This! This is the whole reason I'm stepping back into school leadership this summer. Unapologetically move beyond college prep and reimagine Christian education as equipping students to flourish in their gifts (whatever they are) to further Christ's Kingdom.

Two generation of college educated parents told their sons that the trades were “beneath their potential” and/or were the consequence of “not doing their homework.” And, please don’t act like this isn’t true. Also, you can save your, “Well, not my son, he’s a plumber.” We get it. Congrats! But college educated parents, esp., those sending their sons to private schools, aren’t encouraging them to do HVAC work out of high school.

@Sean_McDowell Persistent thankfulness

If you had to pick one attribute, what do you think should be the defining characteristic of a Christian?

John Piper (@JohnPiper) asks ChatGPT to write a prayer. Is the prayer ChatGPT responds with true praise?

Great challenge for Christian schools from Niel Nielsen (former president @ covenant college): “If your school suddenly had to close its doors, would the onlooking community even notice?” Our cities should be better because of the work we do

"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." Frederick Douglas And the former certainly isn't easy. Thank you for your work @drantbradley

@CaseyPutsch @TuckerCarlson Listened to every bit of it. Casey, I'm the head of a Christian school. Though I love college it's not the only way for everyone to image God and further his Kingdom, so I'm looking to blow up the whole system and rethink the way we do school all together - would love to connect

Super honored to speak about my Omega Car and important World topics on @TuckerCarlson today!

We did it, Mississippi! We just eliminated the income tax! Today is a day that will be remembered — not just for the headlines, not just for the politics, but for the profound, generational change it represents. Today, I was proud to sign into law a complete elimination of the individual income tax in the state of Mississippi. Let me say that again: Mississippi will no longer tax the work, the earnings, or the ambition of its people. This is more than a policy victory. This is a transformation. And it’s a transformation that I have believed in, fought for, and worked toward for many years. From my days as lieutenant governor to my first campaign for this office — and every legislative session since — I have made this my mission. Because I believe in a simple idea: that government should take less so that you can keep more. That our people should be rewarded for hard work, not punished. And that Mississippi has the potential to be a magnet for opportunity, for investment, for talent — and for families looking to build a better life. The legislation I signed puts us in a rare class of elite, competitive states. There are only a handful of states in the country that do not tax income. Today, Mississippi joins their ranks — and in doing so, we plant our flag. We are saying to job creators across America: if you want to build, come to Mississippi. We are saying to families across the South: if you want to grow, come to Mississippi. We are saying to entrepreneurs, to workers, to dreamers: Mississippi is open for business — and we won’t penalize your success. We are going to compete — and we’re going to win. Now, I want to be clear: this didn’t happen overnight. And it didn’t happen alone. This day is the result of years of work by dedicated leaders who shared the vision and had the courage to act. I want to thank Speaker Jason White and Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann. I want to give special thanks to Speaker White because he worked his tail off to get this done. I also want to thank House Ways and Means Chairman Trey Lamar and all the members of the House and Senate who rolled up their sleeves and got this done. We debated. We negotiated. We stayed focused on the goal. And we got it across the finish line — together. To the people of Mississippi: you are the real winners today. This law means more money in your pocket. It means more jobs in your town. It means a future with more opportunity for your children and grandchildren. The work of your hands belongs to you. It is yours — to feed your family and invest in your home and your community. Because that’s what this is ultimately about. Not just numbers on a balance sheet, but lives. Generations from now, when our kids are raising families of their own in a stronger, more prosperous Mississippi, they will look back on this moment and say: this is when we took our shot. This is when we bet on ourselves. This is when we really broke from the pack. This is when we took bold action — and it paid off. There are moments in a state’s history that mark a turning point. A moment where the past gives way to the future. Where we rise above the old ways of doing things — and chart a bold new course… this is one of those moments. The elimination of the income tax is not just a win for our economy. It’s a win for freedom. A win for families. A win for the idea that Mississippi can lead — that we will lead — in the century to come. And I believe with all my heart that we will look back on this day as a turning point, a generational victory, and a proud legacy we leave for those who come after us.

“Jesus went into the tomb so we can be raised out of it” @timkellernyc King’s Cross - what an amazing book!

@Brent_Rooker25 Looks good to me, dude

Idk I don’t think it’s that bad

Refs sure aren’t trying very hard to dispel the accusation that they’re pro-chiefs. Goodness

@RGIII Not always true. God is good. Always. But that’s on His terms, not ours. To be honest, there are truly things we simply can’t handle. Doesn’t diminish God’s goodness or care, but I’m not strong enough.

Trust God and don’t give up. You are stronger than any challenges you are facing. God has your back and you will succeed as long as you don’t quit.

Tonight, it’s not about conference loyalty, money, arrogance, or style preference. One issue alone: holding back the cosmic forces of evil. Let’s go Irish! @UMichFootball

@rustyrockets St Augustine talks about satan and sin’s dependence upon God and goodness respectively. He even says that all our sin is pursuing good things just in bad ways.

Satan can only emulate God; he cannot be God. That is why the things of this world are counterfeit, synthetic and empty.

Two of the absolutely best books I’ve read in the past five years
