I just discovered @forestry — appreciate the inspired expression and invitation to worship. A beautiful celebration. Wish I could have been there to experience it.

Potential game-changer for longevity:
A single IV gene-editing shot (VERVE-102) that permanently slashes LDL cholesterol by ~60% could meaningfully help 10–30% of adults in Western societies live longer by slashing heart disease risk—the #1 killer.
Early data promising, but still in trials. One-and-done prevention? Huge if it scales safely.

“We want to know the spiritual formula. But when we have the steps, we don’t need the Spirit. That is the trap. We think it’s a human endeavor. This is not a human endeavor. It’s the work of a relational God, who guides our steps as we walk in constant dependence on Him.”
- Greg Dewey
@Jason Jesus had issues with organized religion as well. His message was love, grace, humility, and self-sacrifice. We celebrate love and grace but resist the latter. Glad you’re thinking about him. He’s the way we know why we’re here and who we can become.
@fortworthchris That’s the blended avg of whole US society. It would be interesting to see the breakdown by the segments that comprise the whole. Might start with a look at each of the 10 federally protected classes.
@jbrooksokc@BrettHagler@devonzuegel Thanks Jonathan. We already connected a few months back. She did the survey on premium % values for New Urbanist projects and CL topped the list!
But what if there’s more? Something we haven’t seen yet? Could there be a paradigm shift that changes the way we think about community building? When we look at how America has approached community building over the past 80 years, how are we still off track?
We also see those passionate about the culture building and programming that function like an OS upgrade - the software that allows the hardware to function. We need both the hardware and software for our communities to work . . .
I’ve been thinking a lot about the components of good community building. The wisdom gained over the past 40 years provides some insights into a better way. Most of the dialogue is centered on urbanism and architecture - the bricks and sticks - the hardware that gives shape to the built environment…
How do we measure leaders? Carter was not a great President by some metrics. But as a man he was so worthy.
He taught Sunday School, was a faithful husband for 77 years, personally built 4447 homes in 14 countries & gave signed Bibles to the families.
That’s great leadership.
