If a megachurch pastor is plagiarizing his sermons, then perhaps it's time to admit that churches are hiring performers and actors, not pastors.

Josh Howerton has been plagiarizing for a long time.

I’m beginning to think @howertonjosh is merely an actor, regurgitating the script he rips from someone else. But at least, you’d hope he’d copy someone worth copying. Ugh Robert Morris 🤦🏻‍♀️

An ongoing thread of instances of Josh Howerton's plagiarism:

On my Bare Marriage podcast recently, I shared a sermon where Josh Howerton used material from four different sources without citation, claiming it as his own.

@AvoidPerception @JohannesFlacius Some say "Just tell people the facts" in worship and preaching. And I have come to appreciate music, movies, visual art, poetry, architecture, etc. express human longing in ways beyond propositions. Worship crafters ideally tap into human longings too to channel them towards God.

Andy Stanley believes leaders are more born than made and John Wooden emphasized the key in coaching is getting good talent. But they are analyzing adults and teenagers. Whereas people who work with 3-year-olds, see how people can be shaped but inherited genetic disposition too.

[Andy Rowell @AndyRowell]

@AvoidPerception @JohannesFlacius God wants to be engaged with a wider range of emotions than Isaiah 6 awe and Moses mountaintop reverence: joy, lament, rage, thanksgiving, wonder, and intimacy. This is what great art in worship is shooting for.
And the other criterion for good worship is truthful about God.

1. Convince Roy Cooper to run in NC
2. Finally unseat Susan Collins in Maine
3. Hope Sherrod Brown can pull off a comeback in Ohio
4. Somehow win Texas? Get Peltola to run in Alaska? 🤷‍♂️

@DanielBerglind Hate the abstract. Doesn't tell you anything. Not criticizing you but the authors.

[Rohan Pitchford @PitchfordRohan]

A U Sydney exchange student touted the superiority of “chalk and talk” with no lecture recordings at Penn.

Here’s an open secret in academia: chalk and talk is better because it requires a lot of effort on the part of the lecturer, slows instruction to an appropriate rate and forces the lecturer to organise and express their material properly. Simply put, better teaching is sometimes avoided because requires more effort.

“What differed was the delivery. My professors wrote everything by hand on a blackboard, working through each problem in real time. At home, lecturers often display pre-typed solutions and narrate over them, which is efficient but, I find, ultimately detrimental to the learning experience. Penn’s lectures weren’t compulsory, but they weren’t recorded either.”

@Noahpinion Something I tell my teenagers is you really don't need to get good at dating. You want to find one lifelong partner and it's fine to awkwardly stumble into that through friendships. Dating is a skill you barely need once. Appropriate manners, kindness, curiosity—yes, worthwhile.

@kwharrison13 Those same flighty kids end up being fantastic athletes. They want to have fun and as they grow older, sports are more fun than swings, slides, and pretend games.

[Andy Rowell @AndyRowell]

@Hybridathlete It's fine that they look forward to the snacks and playground after the game. As they grow older the goofing around will be with their teammates giving high fives and play will be through athletics (and they won't be as interested in the swings and slides and pretend games).
