🧵Five years ago, I was milquetoast on the topic of tech in classrooms: from smartphones in pockets to school-distributed iPads & Chromebooks.
I'm not anymore. And if you're concerned for our children, you shouldn't be either. Here are a few reasons to share with your schools.

What you find as you get older is that all of the most profound things in life are really just the ordinary things you finally have the heart to see.

Silence opens you up to the process of un-grasping, unclenching your fist, and meeting God in surrendering and letting go. It is one of the many ways we lose our lives to find it.

Want to know if someone is filled w/ the Holy Spirit? Stop listening for a foreign language, & listen for what comes out in their own language when;
-they are suffering
-they don’t get their way
-they take offense at something
-they talk about people who aren’t in the room

Some ideas to grow in prayer in 2024:
1) befriend silence
2) normalize boredom
3) reframe distractions
4) remember that prayer is not something we master, but an act that forms us.
5) trust that God is always waiting for you with open arms.

"It's easier to be a good chipmunk than to be a Christian. It's easier to be a good American than to be a Christian. It's easier to be an adequate human than to be a Christian. That is why our lives often become more difficult when we decide to follow Christ."

Hey you.
I know things have been heavy lately.
This place seems as divisive as ever.
But this right here?
It can bring us back together. 🫶
Share if you love unity. 🙏🏾

When we read psalms that don't reflect our personal current reality (despair, anger, etc) don't skip them. Those are words of many around the world & become opportunities to join our lives to them.
The Bible isn't a personal letter addressed to me. It's communal in its essence.

Most suffering *is* meaningless in itself and I think it’s ok to say so. The Resurrection isn’t the hope that there is a good reason for suffering, but that it has been and one day will finally be defeated.
Jonny Sharp retweeted
The problem of suffering isn’t really what or why, but who. God doesn’t owe me an explanation for anything (as though an explanation would be sufficient anyway) but some things are just garbage.

In my role as a pastor, I’m not trying to get everyone to agree on everything so much as I’m attempting to create environments where our disagreements don’t automatically become cause for disunity.

When I read the Old Testament I can do so with a self-congratulatory pat on the back because Israel’s rejection of God seemed so blatant and obvious.
And therein lies the problem. The sins that have hold on us are not always apparent from our point of view.

“What would you say to a young Christian who is nervous about the future?”
Beautiful answer from @TimKellerNYC (1950–2023). His faith is now sight.

Humility is the remedy to what is most deeply wrong with us. It is not just another thing to do: it is the way we should do everything.
