With Beyond Belief and Coyote vs. Acme both being released today, I'm going to try to think of a Barbenheimer-style name for it. (I might even try to see them both in the same day myself, though I'm not sure if I'll be able to pull it off.)

Petra fans, raise your hand! ✋TODAY is a big day for you! Imagine hearing some of your favorite Petra tunes in a movie at your local theater. How cool is that?! The movie, *Beyond Belief,* featuring the music of Petra is out in theaters today!

Later I found out Coyote vs. Acme was planned at one point to have Barbie's release date, in which case it would've been Coyotenheimer (for anyone who still thought of the idea without the precedent of Barbenheimer)! Also both movies involve a significant amount of explosives.

Five things every Christian should have: 1. A Bible that they actually read 2. A church where they are active 3. A heart that is quick to repent 4. A desire to tell others about Jesus 5. A life of frequent prayer

As someone who relates to one of the workers being called late in the day (in the parable of the workers in the vineyard), it's a combination of extreme gratitude and extreme remorse for the way I lived decades of my life. While the parable is from the perspective of the "co-workers" who feel like they got the short end of the stick, the benefits of reaping what you've been sowing cannot be understated. Being called late in the day is a very tough pill to swallow. Consider yourselves very blessed if you were called early in the day and didn't have to learn everything the hard way. 🙏

As pointed out by @johnnydividas "It's important to note that Wes Campbell owns the brand name Newsboys. The musicians who are/were employed by him aren't necessarily involved in this."

I don’t know if the low number of votes is due to people not being familiar with the albums or if X is burying my posts or what…but it’s a little disheartening, to be honest. But thank you so much to those of you who have been voting and sharing. It really means a lot and it would still be worth it just for the hundred or so of you who are into it.

It sank in for me last night: not only was "Good Morning" by Mandisa ft. TobyMac played as a wake-up song on Artemis II, but it's always been one of my top 2-3 favorite Mandisa songs ever since I first heard it on WOW Hits 2013, and now it would be getting a lot more attention!

For many years, I assumed I thought about "Good Morning" a lot more than most people, though later I found out it was seemingly more well-known than I thought it was (plus the first line of TobyMac's verse was quietly sampled in "Overcomer" right after she mentioned him).

Unfortunately I ran out of time for it last night, but I'm sure I'll be able to listen thoroughly in time for the next round. (It might have also ended up being hard for me to decide between it and Time within the time I had available.)
