See this Instagram video of the pre-service jam at New Life last weekend. It's a lot of fun. instagram.com/p/Cbad5-IAG3W/…

I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places - Isaiah 45:3
I have learned and am learning that God's provision sometimes comes from places we don't expect. Amen #MorningPrayer
English

In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them. - Isaiah 63:9
Scripture insists God is near. "The angel of his presence" or more literally "It was no envoy or angel but his own presence that saved them". God with us. Amen #MorningPrayer
English

The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. - Deuteronomy 7:7
God keeps choosing the small, the unlikely, the not-enough. Amen #morningprayer
English

Keep on loving one another ... strangers, prisoners, the suffering - Hebrews 13:1-3
From the general to the specific. God's call to love is not vague at all. It (as NBW says) has a zip code and a face. Amen #Morningprayer
English

Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love - Ephesians 5:1-2
Literally "imitate God". Not just do what he says, but do as he does. A holy calling indeed. Amen #morningprayer
English

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. - Galatians 5:13
Seems the main slave holder is my own selfish ambition. Lord, free me. Amen #morningprayer

This is insane. Pete Hegseth just fired the Navy Secretary in the middle of a war for refusing to defy a federal court order protecting Senator Mark Kelly.
A U.S. District Judge ruled that Hegseth’s attempt to strip Kelly of his retired Navy rank, as punishment for a video reminding service members of their oath to refuse illegal orders, trampled the First Amendment and threatened the constitutional rights of millions of military retirees.
Fox News (yes, Fox News!) reported that Secretary John Phelan refused to ignore that ruling. Hegseth fired him for it.
This is the Secretary of Defense punishing a subordinate for following the law.
It is the definition of an unfit leader in charge of the most powerful military on earth, during an active conflict with Iran, no less.
Hegseth is an unqualified disgrace who must resign or be removed.
Congress has a duty to investigate.

@toddrhoades This seems right to me. But the sarcasm about why the search committee is moving slow is unnecessary. The fact is the most church committees are volunteers. The CEO search is done by paid staff.
English

Many church senior pastor searches take 14 months. The average corporate CEO search takes 4.
Before you blame the candidate pool entirely (and that can be legitimate according to exactly what you're looking for), look at what your search committee is doing with the extra 10 months.
Most of it isn't interviewing. It's scheduling. Arguing.
Waiting for Bob to come back from vacation.
Reading one more resume the chairman's cousin sent over.
Praying about whether to pray about it again.
Meanwhile the candidates you actually want have other options. Strong ministry leaders are getting three to five inquiries a year from other churches. They aren't sitting by the phone for you.
By month six, your top three have moved on. By month nine, you're interviewing tier two. By month twelve, you're considering tier three and telling yourselves the Spirit led you there.
A fast process isn't a careless one. It means the committee meets weekly instead of monthly. The senior leader is in the room every meeting, not briefed afterward. A candidate moves from first call to offer in 60 days, not 300.
According to your search parameters, finding the right candidate may take longer than you anticipated (in fact, we tell people to plan on 3x longer than you think it will take). That's ok. But once you find a great candidate, be sure your process can process. :)
Stuck? Happy to chat.

@Ameen_HGA Totally agree. Repentance would be admitting what he did (which he has) and giving up his platform (which he hasn’t).
English

Where he clearly was telling other employees how much he hated Trump, didn’t think the election was stolen, wished he would stop and can’t wait to be able to ignore him. But then was getting on TV at the same time showing nothing but support for him and joining him in saying the election was stolen
Tucker is willing to lie and manipulate If it keeps his brand strong and keeps him paid.
English

I didn’t have this on my bingo card, but this is interesting
I don’t think Tucker is really sorry about this more than he’s rebranding. He sees where this is going and wants to sure up support for the future.
Don’t forget his text messages during the Fox/Doninion case

Tucker Carlson: I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. We’re implicated in this. I misled people.

BOMBSHELL CONFIRMED: The Supreme Court corruption scandal that was lingering from a year ago? We can now call it CONFIRMED today.
Chief Justice John Roberts' wife pocketed $10.3 million recruiting for law firms with cases before his court. He illegally labeled it "salary" instead of commission on disclosure forms.
Justice Clarence Thomas took $500,000+ luxury yacht trips, $133,000 real estate deals, and decades of private jet vacations from billionaire Harlan Crow—all hidden from the public.
Justice Neil Gorsuch sold a $1.8 million property to the CEO of Greenberg Traurig—a law firm with 22 cases before the Court—just nine days after his confirmation. He left the buyer's name BLANK on his disclosure forms.
Republicans: "The Supreme Court is impartial!"
The Supreme Court: a billionaire-funded cash register.
Three justices. Three scandals. Tens of millions in hidden money and favors.
This isn't a court. It's a corruption convention with robes.
Tell me again why we should trust these people with our rights?

"You who bring good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain." - Isaiah 40:9
Too often the loudest voices are all about bad news. It sells. But God says that those of us with good news should make it heard. I feel that. Amen #MorningPrayer

"I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down" - Ezekiel 34:15
Remember the time(s) God was so fed up with a group of pastors, prophets and priests that he decided he, himself, would be the shepherd? I wonder if we aren't there now. Amen #morningprayer

@ImBreckWorsham @sandibachom No they won’t. They’ll just laugh, counter-sue, bomb someone and Dems will stick to procedure.

The stats here are kind of remarkable. BART's new fare gates have led to a 1,000-hour decline in clean up time; 41% drop in crime; and $10 million increase in projected revenue. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/…
