The primal and preeminent question of our time is not about the existence of God. No, our generation asks: “Is there anything to hope for? Is there anything that changes me and the world?”

Pastors: You know how when you go to the grocery store you need bags to get the food home? You congregation similarly needs stories & metaphors to bag up what you're teaching. If you don't give them one *at least* every 5 mins, they will tune out & forget your words.

Here is the beautiful paradox: in the collective, we are uniquely known. We are individually claimed, but never alone. Our calling is realized, not through solitary striving, but through shared endeavor. substack.com/home/post/p-178…

Nigeria's elimination from World Cup qualifying means eight of the 10 most populous nations will not be at the tournament ❌ With the USA taking a host-nation berth, only one of the 10 countries with the world's biggest populations actually qualified 🤯

"Functional Paganism in Pews" the most haunting thing happening in Christianity today and the last decade has been the subtle embrace of God as a throw in, a morality glue, and a reliable backup. open.substack.com/pub/bradwa…

I'm starting to think that Donald Trump is under the impression if he tanks America, we will get the first pick in next year's draft.

I love this. It was awesome. But for some contrast. Last nights Champions League Group game (months from the finals) got +700million viewers...

The most important application in the sermon is always the application of Christ to the heart of a sinner. This doesn't mean we should avoid other kinds of applications, but the sermon as a distinct act within the liturgy isn't about marching orders for life per se. It is The Life Himself being preached into our hearts through the sacramental word. The application of Christ crucified is of the essence of apostolic preaching, and it's what makes our preaching today distinctly "Christian." Without this, we might give a lot of good or pious advice, but we won't raise the dead or nourish the faithful.

Someone at @Nike deserves a promotion. This is a sick commercial just minutes after a World Series is sealed.
