I wash my whites and colors in the same cycle. Other than that, I don't really do anything spectacular.

@ConfessingKite The problem isn’t $50k a year. It’s that $15k goes to insurance out of that.

The other problem is…some pastors only provide $35-$50k worth of value to their congregation. If a role is 80% sermon prep and 20% relational, it may be less valuable than they’d like to admit.

@mhp_guy I just need to build a bridge in East TN.

@bloggersarvesh It’s probably pretty cool, but I’ve made a commitment to not read anything that is intentionally all lowercase writing. 😞

@thecodaguy My experience with AI designing logos has been “meh”. That being said, I’ve use some of these prompts with Claude and it returns some incredible content (got these from another X post somewhere): https://t.co/2v6VwZuSU4

@DrEliDavid Actually not a Turkish proverb. Elizabeth Bangs coined this phrasing. The original is a Circassian proverb that states, “When an ox moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king, but the palace becomes a barn.”

Start a marketplace leaders lunch. There’s not much value in just following a bunch of people on X. A group of 7 men from my local (rural) area started meeting on Tuesdays and it was immensely impactful. We focused on 2 Peter 1:3-8. “Make every effort” - and what does that look like. I don’t have anything to market or sell to you, but I can share how we did it if you’re interested.

@SahilBloom realizing 95% of your “needs” are actually “wants.”

@nikitabier @PalsSkit I’m legitimately impressed you only have 14 notifications.

I don’t know of a single pastor who’s willing to stand before their congregation and say, “The truth is: some of you in this very room are going to Hell and there’s not a thing you can do about it because God hated you before you were born.”

[John Piper @JohnPiper]

Is it important that people know
the truth about sin?
The truth about God?
The truth about redemption?
The truth about their own conversion?
The truth about the Christian life?

Then TULIP is important.

98% of my phone calls:

Me: "Hello..."
Them: "Hello?"
Me: "Hey..."
Them: "Hello?"
Me: "HELLO."
Them: "Can you hear me?"

Has phone call technology really regressed that much? This is unbearable.

Interesting post but I'd push back a little. Our biggest disagreements aren't really failures of probability. They're failures of willingness.

Most people aren't clinging to bad priors because they lack a formula. They're doing it because updating beliefs is psychologically expensive, especially when identity is on the line.

Bayes is an example of how to think rationally. It doesn't make you want to do it.
