Teaching yesterday also makes me think— Jesus said we were salt of the earth, not salt in the wound. Some of us seem to get that mixed up.
Me: So what do you think it means to be the salt of the earth? Congregation: We hope it means we get to be salty, because some of us are real good at that. I’ve found my people.
I refused to use a new worship song because they put the wrong “your” on their video lyrics. No regrets. I have standards.
I haven’t been able to talk for six days. Either this is the worst case of laryngitis ever or my 88-year-old wife is going to have a baby.
There it is
If you were me (mixed reviews. Do not recommend) where would you have put the extra phone screen protector I got four years ago? Because now I finally need it.
I just absolutely ordered an iris simply because it was called “Cubs Win It.” And then I found one named “Frodo.”

I’ve been working on 3 major projects since December, all due this week. Just hit send on the last and by far the largest. I don’t know whether to celebrate or nap. Or maybe that’s both.
I know it should be no surprise, but Texas, that was not key lime Pie. It was condensed milk with lime peel. No.
I've been interested in this woman for a very long time, so it was fun to get to write about her. Looking forward to more as I dig into the archives. cbeinternational.org/resource/betty…
If I have to speak to a group on something I know well, it’s effortless and great fun. If I have to convince a group of my vision for something, to “sell” a plan, it’s exhausting. Same number of people, same time expended. This is introversion. It isn’t the speaking.
I think our church has a new slogan. It’s “Name the Spider.” Yeah, in fact I do hate spiders. Therein is the tale.
It’s been a fun month talking about supporting women in pulpits and leadership. First a podcast and now this. I love this work. lightandlife.fm/the-new-church…
Nov 6 headline: “Swifties save america by revenge voting after football season treatment of their girl.” This is the most poetically perfect storyline I can imagine.
Me: Sleeping peacefully My cat: I wonder what would happen if I put my paw up her nose …
Why when Aragorn saw the beacons were lit did he run like they had no moments to spare when he knew it would take a week minimum to even get to Gondor? Yes, it's the traditional New Year's watch. A little late.

@TheoManBabies It's so strange to me that she NEVER seems speak about Jesus. It's all a warped humanistic system she has created where women are to be erased. Nothing about Christ at all. The audacity to call that "Christian" is mind blowing.
@TheoManBabies It starts with Gladys announcing next week's quilting bee. Next thing you know, we have lesbian orgies
@TheoManBabies Don’t tell her about Mary with the Announcement that started it all. 🤦🏻♂️
Y’all are snobs to diss on The Message and refuse to call it a version/translation. You need to see it for what it is: A pastor’s interpretation of the Hebrew and Greek for the benefit of his church. Sure, don’t use it in your biblical studies academic paper. Whatever. 🤷♀️

@sheilagregoire Side question: how many preachers who use other people's content for their sermons would also say women are not allowed to preach? If they're buying sermons or taking random content, how do they know they haven't plagiarized a woman's words, so a woman is, in effect, preaching?
It's all built on sand. I wonder what people would do if they realized far too many megachurch pastors are merely glorified actors? That's a convo worth having.
So when they inevitably mess up, we see their true character as they flounder to handle things well, because they never really were a pastor. They were just an actor.
Then these actors are considered the spiritual head of the church, and assumed to have great wisdom, humility, and special knowledge of God. But they don't. They're just really, really good at using Google and delivering lines.
But that's what it is: Performance art. It's not teaching. It's not preaching. It's ACTING. It's taking someone else's lines and figuring out how to deliver them well. Too many megachurches (and even smaller churches) are hiring actors to be the face of their church.
And by not citing their sources, they're giving the impression that they are far more spiritually discerning and wise and insightful than they actually are. They won't cite because they have an image to maintain: "I thought of this myself. I'm this smart." They're impostors.
This is relevant again because recently Josh Howerton defended plagiarizing his "apology" for his offensive wedding night advice, saying that this is common practice and pastors should do it to get the beset material.
If they're not actually wrestling through the Bible themselves, and discerning what God wants to say to their church specifically, but are instead taking other people's words as their own (and not naming the sources), then what job are they doing? Curating and acting. That's it.
If a megachurch pastor is plagiarizing his sermons, then perhaps it's time to admit that churches are hiring performers and actors, not pastors. A 🧵
“The fallacious understanding and application of “equal but different” by complementarians does little to encourage and promote the freeing New Testament ideals of genuine equality and a caste-less Christianity. /1
I was as far right theologically and politically you can imagine for the majority of my life. What I then discovered through education, travel, ministry, and relationships with those different from me is how little I actually understood about the issues I claimed to care about🧵
