"Change will have to come from outside, from the margins. The desert, not the temple, gave us the prophets." ~ Wendell Berry
Much of masculinity in Christendom looks nothing like Jesus. It has been contaminated by secular culture and sanctioned using theological terms. Any theology that does not produce the fruit of Jesus is false.
You’ve probably heard a lot lately about Jonathan Haidt's argument that smartphones and social media are taking a toll on the mental health of young people. But you may not have heard as much about the other problem he identifies: parents. Our new video explains.
“In the unfathomable darkness one communes with God through faith.” ~Gregory of Nyssa, The Life of Moses
Where trust is low and anxiety is high within a church or Christian org, I don’t care how loudly you proclaim the name of Jesus or how well you cast vision, you will find it hard to avoid the constant drumbeat of drama, division, discontent and dysfunction. The reality is –…
This is big news: New research finds that the U-shaped curve of happiness is over, because young people since 2011 have dropped so quickly, across 34 countries. Driven by young women. (Probably not the 2008 GFC)

A helpful set of principles for leaders (especially spiritual leaders): 1. Being held accountable for wrongdoing isn't persecution. 2. Disqualifying behavior isn't being cancelled. 3. Walking in repentance does not entitle us to restored influence and position.

People who have not lived through narcissistic abuse will never be able to understand the soul-crushing experience of being manipulated and gaslit into thinking that you are crazy or “the problem” by a vicious and selfish monster. Your lived experiences and feelings are valid.
I am not petty. I do not make rash decisions. I am not prone to hype. I am not immature. I can take a joke. My decision to leave my big ol' church was not capricious. I cannot be easily dismissed as disgruntled or immature or a hater.
There are leaders who cannot deal with pushback or criticism or blame. These same people will also often masquerade as trauma informed, bringing awareness to issues. They will shut any pushback down - just providing more evidence to us that we are truly in a Leadership Crisis 💔
God can redeem the deepest agony, the most hideous suffering, the pain beyond words, into something that gives life and brings glory to Him. But make no mistake, the transfiguring of agony cost Jesus Christ inestimably. Death does not transform into life easily.
We signed the greatest tight end ever to a new contract.
One of the reasons, I fear, that creatives can often be overlooked in the church is that they don’t serve as a needed commodity for a system that can too easily be inclined toward power and monetization. A creative isn’t interested in adding to the bottom line. They seek to…
The “third place,” a venue for wonderfully inefficient socializing, is being appropriated by a culture of status and productivity, @allie_conti wrote in 2022: theatlantic.com/family/archive…
In 1977, Reggie Jackson signed my baseball card at a New York Yankees game. (My dad loved the Yankees and we took the train to the Bronx in to see a game.) Today, Reggie came up after church and said he enjoyed my message. I’m dead.
“Narcissism is the very opposite of strong self-love. Self-absorption does not produce gratification, it produces injury to the self… Looking always for an expression or reflection of [oneself]… one drowns in the self.” - Richard Sennet, quoted by Byung-Chul Han
It is Sunday. Act accordingly.
The “Law vs Gospel” trope misses the richness of Grace in the Scriptures… 🧵 1. Grace is all over the OT— God chose Abraham by grace, saved Israel from Egypt by grace, sent the prophets as grace, restored Israel after exile as grace after Israel’s covenantal failure.
No man taught me more - so miss @DallasAWillard - I’d go see him once a year and spend a couple of hours with him - he helped me redefine my faith - He walked beside me as I slowly entered the Kingdom of God
I’ve kept this quote close by for many years as an invitation beyond shame and grandiosity: “Keep two pieces of paper in your pockets at all times. One that says 'I am a speck of dust.' The other 'The world was created for me.’” ~Rabbi Simcha Bunim, Poland (1765-1827)
Either we carry our cross or we push a boulder up a hill for eternity. But we always carry some load or burden.
Worshiping with our district welcome our newly ordained elders. Over 50% of this group are women who are accepting their call!! Exciting days continue to be ahead for the Church as God continued to fulfill his prophesy in Joel 2 that He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh!!
I love this quote, and remind myself of it often, because it sums up so well the life and gospel of Jesus. To scapegoat, belittle, scorn, or mock anyone as “the other —for their politics, race, or life choices—is something that should have no place among us as Jesus followers.
@jhsiders I don't see a problem with the first one, as long as it's not part of some Quiverfull Dominionist scheme. It's the second that bothers me.
Embrace boredom (fertile internal emptiness). Reject tedium (sterile external fullness). Learn to know the difference.
