Based on one of my favorite Puritan books:

"Christ came not to free us from damnation only, but as an Head, to infuse spiritual life into us, and to live in us by his Spirit; he came not only to purchase a life of glory for us, but likewise to live in us by his Spirit, and if he overcome for us, he will overcome in us, if he hath a life for us, he will have a life in us; the life of Jesus must be manifested in us." -- Richard Sibbes, _Commentary on 2 Corinthians 4_, p. 121

“I am a sojourner in the earth; Do not hide Your commandments from me.” (Psalm 119:19, LSB)

I've been reading most books on Kindle for 15 years. Now my digital assistant has access to all 11,328 highlights across 15 years and hundreds of books. This is what I mean when I talk about giving AI the right tools. "Give me everything I've highlighted about the church growth movement from David Wells."

“Deal bountifully with Your slave, That I may live and keep Your word.” (Psalm 119:17, LSB)

3/ I think the 2005 peak was Boomer-driven: mid-lifers seeking tactics to survive. The shift since is a Millennial reaction, a generation disillusioned with hollow self-help, seeking a more robust, theological why for marriage in a secularized age.

If anyone is looking for a Christian podcast guest who can speak to—and refute—psychedelics from firsthand experience, DM me. I have extensive experience from before I became a Christian. I speak the lingo and can address all the ways they justify unbiblical practices.
