still stuck listening to mid 2000’s Christian screamo music • theology nerd• sci-fi & fantasy hot takes • love a good cultural commentary

Listening to the most recent @HolyPostPodcast and @SkyeJethani said that people use to question the credibility of Christianity while today they question the plausibility. I agree, but more and more am finding my students asking a different question.

@PaulAnleitner Also, to note how I increasingly am watching as young women are repelled by these same young men.

[Jesse Holcomb @Jesselss]

@PaulAnleitner Seeing it in the young adults I lead. As a millennial that has largely bought into what I lovingly call Christocentric nonviolence with tragic exceptions, I’m unsure how to pastor some of these young men who increasingly speak so boldly about violence.

@KirkMiller_ @mbird12 ‘s has been super useful and a great introduction for my students

@myelessar Did you know….

@BrianaKamp83075 @bobsmietana The Wachowski sisters who created the Matrix have gone on record to discuss how it actually represented their trans journey. I've always found it amazing how our lens shapes how we perceive the art around us. Interpretation is often idealogical.

@bobsmietana ooooh another one
Terminator 2- Savior from out of time comes back to save child and sacrifices himself in the end. Robot wears a human skin even though he is more than just a human.... Jesus is the terminator...

@tweetraychang I personally would say something like politically unaffiliated evangelical. I think the title evangelical still has theological meaning and I still hope the term can be redeemed someday.

[Jesse Holcomb @Jesselss]

@PaulAnleitner In Comer's opening chapters of "Practicing the Way" he describes the way a first century apprentice of Jesus would've followed him. It was a great reminder as a church leader of the difference in following Jesus today in the West.

[Jesse Holcomb @Jesselss]

@mikeleake A great intro is "misreading scripture through western eyes" and "misreading scripture through individualist eyes". Thought they gave a good lay level overview

@Ineverglow Shared this song with some of my students this weekend.... They didn't appreciate it

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

I often post wonders from the distant past. What about the churches we still build today?

These will surprise you (all built in the last 20 years)... 🧵
