One of the best short pieces I’ve read on the future of church in N America. Thank you, @RevMichaelWoolf!

"Slow Church" coauthor @johnepattison has launched a new project. His family and their housemates recently started a YouTube channel about co-living and intentional community. Here's the latest vlog: youtu.be/LT6WeCXVkno
In addition to more vlogs, future videos will be about what co-living is, what makes it beautiful, what makes it challenging, what makes it practical, how it saves the families money, how faith shapes the community, why it’s an option for more people than may realize, and more.
If you have questions about co-living, how it connects to life in the neighborhood, etc., hit up John over at @johnepattison. Consider subscribing to the channel too, if the content sounds interesting to you! youtube.com/@theburroworegon

I’m so sick of hearing Christians talk like our standard as Christ followers is to be “biblical”.
We were never ever called to behave “biblically”.
We are called to be CHRISTLIKE. We are called to be LIKE GOD.
End rant//
For now.

Christian nationalism replaces the worship of Jesus with the worship of political power.
Christian nationalism is accepting Satan’s temptation of Jesus, when he showed him all the kingdoms of the world and said “all this I will give you if you will bow down and worship me.”
