“If the mystic looks within, he does so to get beyond himself to God. Smith, by contrast, luxuriates in his own emotional responses, and does so in an embarrassingly exhibitionistic manner.” Well done, @FeserEdward

“Warm affections, without knowledge, can rise no higher than superstition; and that knowledge which does not influence the heart and affections, will only make a hypocrite.”

When we think of Oxford, we think of C.S. Lewis. He was profoundly shaped by his environment and relationships while there. Join us as Dr. Simon Horobin—also a fellow of @magdalenoxford—walks us through Oxford with an eye for C.S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia, & more. @Cfeix7

Incredible movie. Not just for Tolkien’s life, but for the theme of fellowship that emerges. It changes the way you read LotR. Watch this and read Tolkien and the Great War by @JohnGarthWriter

[Tolkien World @TolkienWorldG]

Tolkien (2019) was released 7 years ago today. Have you seen this movie, and if so, what were your thoughts?

[Cole Feix @Cfeix7]

Doing a little yeoman’s survey work. Who has read Ursula Le Guin? My hunch is she’s severely under read now, though clearly one of the greats. The Dispossessed, Earthsea, Left Hand of Darkness?

Honored to spend the day with @SJCSLions this week! Incredible school, strong Christian vision, and wonderful students.

[St. Joseph Christian @SJCSLions]

As we continued our focus on America’s 250th birthday this year, we were delighted to host Dr. Feix and were inspired by his thoughtful and compelling teaching. We were honored to have him with us.

[Marcus Walker @WalkerMarcus]

This is the single most genius diplomatic gesture I have ever seen.

The Gospels tell the greatest story of all time. Founding scholar at the Museum of the Bible, Dr. Jerry Pattengale, walks through the Gospel story with beautiful art selections that bring the story of Jesus to life. Watch our interview with the author: https://t.co/RTyHTtPOdy

[So We Speak @sowespeakmedia]

Dr. Matthew Spalding traces the big ideas of the Declaration of Independence in his book The Making of the American Mind, including the role of faith and revelation. @Cfeix7 & Dr. Spalding discuss the ideas of liberty, rights, and the theology of the Declaration 250 years later.

Buzzing and singing. Beauty is the way to restore the West.

These are awesome! Why doesn’t every author do this? Can’t wait to read it

A disciple is a person in community. A few reflections on chapter 7 of my new book.

The tomb is empty. Death is defeated. Hope is alive!

Happy Easter from So We Speak.

What if we just went back to reading a bunch of books and thinking about them together, and that was the class? With syllabi no longer than three pages.

As Holy Week begins, some encouragement for my fellow pastors...

1. It's a big week, but it's not everything. Take a deep breath, do your best, and be faithful.

2. Create a special family moment at some point. It's a very public weekend, but taking even just a few minutes to pray or celebrate as a family can make it feel less performative.

3. Do a really good version of what you normally do. It's less about creating a decisive moment and more about laying groundwork for people to return.

4. Enjoy Jesus in front of people. Some guests may not yet delight in him, but they should see that you do.

5. Love the volunteers. We should always do this, but many people give a lot of extra time to serve Jesus this weekend. Show them some love.

6. Find your inner extrovert, at least for a few hours. Shake a ton of hands, give hugs, kneel down to give high fives to kids. The people at your church want you to meet their friends, so get after it.

7. Afterward, thank your people for inviting friends. Especially celebrate those who invited somebody but the friend didn't come — those people are just as faithful, and it's worth encouraging them.

8. Rejoice with your fellow pastors. When you see that other churches had a ton of guests or baptisms or decisions, rejoice! Don't let the enemy win by giving into envy.

9. Preach the gospel with stunning clarity. Don't be too cute, and don't try to innovate. Christians and non-Christians both need the good news of Jesus' resurrection. Make it clear and preach it confidently.

10. Soak it up with appreciation. There was a time early in your life when you only dreamed about an opportunity to preach & lead like you get to do now — what a privilege! There will be a time someday when you don't get to do this any more — soak it up while you can!

Pastors, with God's help, you've got this! You're the man for this moment. Trust him and have fun!

[So We Speak @sowespeakmedia]

What may look simple is actually loaded with meaning. @markaldham reveals a subtle reference to Ezekiel’s vision of the glory of the Lord, hidden in an ordinary image.

Even the most everyday moments can reflect something of God’s glory when you know what to look for. @Cfeix7

“Reboots of old movie franchises, throwback songs, and preachy writing limit downside risk, but how long can that last? Our greatest media niche right now is nostalgia.” @Cfeix7 https://t.co/NtylZKse28

Everyone should (re)read this one this year! #America250 🇺🇸
