What makes a Christian university like @biolau Christian? Cultivating and sustaining an institution that is intentionally and comprehensively Christian is not easy, but it's one of the most exhilarating vocations out there.

Chasing “balance” is a quixotic quest. But working as unto the Lord, whether in our paid employment, in our homes, or in our community life? That’s a gift, a rewarding charism, through which we love God and neighbor.

At some point in your son or daughter’s college experience you will be frustrated or disappointed by something within the institution. But what parents can and should expect is that institutions be honest, both about our convictions and our aims.

There's a natural rut we all run in as leaders because it’s familiar & easy. Taking leadership to the next level demands self-awareness, balancing both directive % collaborative leadership.

You can try to hold societies together with a moral fiction or a lie about the past, but sooner or later the truth will come out and when it does there will be hell to pay. Sometimes quite literally.

There’s a lot we don’t know about the path ahead. But here’s what I do know. Disciples of Jesus have been here before.

Sometimes the people that “tell it like it is” are the biggest liars around.

If you want a moving snapshot of what theologians call “common grace” this will do it. There is indeed life on the other side, life that’s truer and fuller than anything we can dare imagine.

Sometimes the most innovative thing you can do is to recover an old discipline.

What I found in that first semester of college was a whole world of ideas, an intellectual scaffolding that I never knew was available, one that did not seem to flinch at the hard questions or dodge the seeming contradictions and paradoxes.

Gratitude in its truest sense is most often infused with a sobriety, a longing, and a realism of loss.

Now’s the time to go for it, to lean in, to raise the stakes and go all in. It’s time to work.

Congratulations to @SenJohnThune on his election as the next Senate Majority Leader. @biolau Class of 1983!

[POLITICO @politico]

John Thune will be the Senate GOP’s next leader.

He’ll succeed Mitch McConnell to lead a 53-vote majority next term when Republicans are expected to control the trifecta: the House, Senate and the presidency 👉 https://t.co/pEu1OV53mb

Leading demands decisions. Dodge them at your own risk. You won’t make it long.

Four years from now, I doubt any of us will regret choosing not to have that heated argument over politics. I’m certain none of us will 400 years from now.

Elections do have consequences & there are real and substantive disagreements on important matters. I’m no relativist, nor idealist. But I assure you that God is not anxious about Nov 5 . No matter the outcome, His sovereign purposes are sure and good.

What stood out to me in Malcolm Guite’s remarks the other night was the ways in which C.S. Lewis’ conversion to Christianity finally afforded him the capacity to reunite—to re-integrate—his reason and his imagination.

Right now, mercy doesn’t seem to be in abundant supply. I suspect we’ll need it desperately not only in the weeks leading up to November 5, but all the more in the days and weeks that will follow.

Really grateful to see this coverage of @biolau's work in our AI Lab and featuring the leadership of Michael Arena. If you want to think deeply and be resourced as a Christian for the opportunities and challenges of AI, this is the place.
