It's live!

Flight delayed on the way to hopecon, but I got to edit an entire video in the process, let's see if it uploads!

Check yt soon.

I was so pleased to watch his interview with sweet on the magnificent others. It was refreshingly intelligent, humble, and honest.

@Noah_Agent101 @billycorganTMO Is it even more of a flex if I tell you, I did it on my phone?

[CrossingTomi ♡✝️ @crossingtomi]

@steveMetal4life @billycorganTMO I'll bet you are! Let me know what you think of the video when you get to see it

"Oh, if I was that carpenter, I'd love you baby"

Great song, really makes me consider walking this sin fallen world and loving as Christ does.

Oh, no, I hope I didn't give the wrong impression.

While I would gratefully host an interview with Mr. Corgan at any time, this video is me sharing my thoughts around some things he discusses with Micheal Sweet from the band Stryper on Corgans' own podcast, the Magnificent Others.

I simply appreciate the human honesty of speaking about ones faith, even from a public platform. Pushing back intellectually, but with gentleness against the idea that one can not express faith in Jesus specifically. Calling out the double standard, but in an invitational way.

I also appreciated hearing his perspectives on how his view towards the delivery of some of his lyrics could have been improved. And how the church could have done a better job to disciple him in that, instead of villanize him.

So, in case Mr. Corgan sees this too, I'd say a few things.

As a writer and public speaker myself, I know the weight of conveying thoughts seperated from the person. Sometimes an idea or expression needs more, or the correct, context to be properly understood.

I wonder what responsibility comes with giving people words for their pain, and what happens when your own understanding of God and hope develops further.

How do you feel when listeners carry a lyric for decades, even while your own thinking continues to develop?

You aren't responsible for other people, but we do have an impact. I'd be curious how you carry yours, personally.

If you'd ever like to have a talk around any of those things, Mr. Corgan, please let me know.

@GrandpaBuckyVT Yes, but people should come to God for God, not for Christians

[CrossingTomi ♡✝️ @crossingtomi]

Have we made sharing our faith seem so specialized that ordinary Christians no longer recognize their own opportunities?

[CrossingTomi ♡✝️ @crossingtomi]

As tragic as this is, do we need this information to recognize another person's humanity?
There are adults with neuropathy. Are they less human because they don't feel pain?
I hope it stirs some people towards empathy or even sympathy. But it breaks my heart that we have to make this point.

@SamaKazeCh We love to see it.

[CrossingTomi ♡✝️ @crossingtomi]

@PastorDoostyn Yes, and no, in a way I understand that it appeals to the culture. And yet I think that your real presence and authenticity are so much more powerful.

You're a real one Dustin, in more ways than one.
Keep pursuing his glory alone.

[CrossingTomi ♡✝️ @crossingtomi]

Christians can pursue their work with excellence and speak honestly about Jesus in the places where that work takes them.

@Siriusoheo Would you come to my discord? I can't dm you here.

Do you think women or men struggle more with emotional dependency?

[The Layman Apologist 🥛 @apologistlayman]

You are called to love your brothers in Christ. You won’t always like them or agree with them, but you are called to love them regardless.

You are actually forbidden by Christ to demonise them even for rhetoric. Be very careful with your speech, especially online

This song has been stuck in my head all week. It’s called Faithful To Me by Jennifer Knapp. She was a Christian singer in the 90’s who made wonderful worship songs. Sadly she’s now a lesbian who thinks she can be that and a Christian which isn’t right. You cannot serve God and sin. She also encourages others to do the same and tells them it’s not something that’s biblically wrong, which is a lie. Please pray for her to repent as you hear my singing this song! Hope you like my version of it! Even after we’ve sinned and made idols of so many things in our lives, the Lord is the only one who will always forgive us when we have a truly contrite heart!

May we all repent of our sins, leave them in our past and run to Jesus just as we pray for her to do! He is truly the only one who is faithful to us!

[CrossingTomi ♡✝️ @crossingtomi]

@Siriusoheo Friend I am sorry you feel that way. Would you like to talk about it?

[CrossingTomi ♡✝️ @crossingtomi]

@PastorDoostyn @Hopeful_InJesus Thank you!

[CrossingTomi ♡✝️ @crossingtomi]

Truly truly. I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.
But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep to him. The doorkeeper opens and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
John 10v1-3
