If every alumni gave 10/mo—what a difference that would make for students.

[Miles Shirk @MilesShirk]

I’ve found some of the most generous people to be those who have raised financial support for their own mission.

This opening line from 𝘗𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘮 23 offers a powerful reminder—true contentment flows from knowing and trusting the Lord. When hearts are anchored in that trust, generosity naturally follows.

This is something I strive to live out in my own life. As I grow in my career, I hope that I will not chase wealth or status, but remain content and faithful—investing even more in Kingdom work and the needs of my community.

[Miles Shirk @MilesShirk]

Thank you to those who have supported and encouraged me along the way—I’m eager to see what’s ahead in this new adventure!

[Miles Shirk @MilesShirk]

I’m excited to share that, as of December, I’ve officially stepped into a new chapter as a Donor Experience Officer with the Emporia State University Foundation.

[Miles Shirk @MilesShirk]

This career move is one I’ve been considering for some time, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve the mission of ESU. I look forward to building meaningful connections and contributing to life-changing impacts in the lives of students.

All the sarcasm, the snark, the mockery... It's unbecoming in the church. Even on twitter.

[Miles Shirk @MilesShirk]

I could easily be one of the thousands making a wretched choice; who’d rather starve than come to the table.

[Kevin DeYoung @RevKevDeYoung]

The question every grateful Christian should ask is this: Why was I made to hear God’s voice, be given a place at the table, and be made a part of his family?

[Owen Strachan @ostrachan]

Hey friend: I don’t know if you know this, but God loves a redemption story. Today could be the start of yours.

This is the thing about the true biblical God: it is NEVER TOO LATE. However far gone you are, it is not too far.

The porchlight is always on at the Father’s house.

God is sovereign, but that is no excuse for being foolish. 😅

[Miles Shirk @MilesShirk]

Truth like this is the cure for anxiety.

[Dustin Benge @DustinBenge]

7 truths that anchor our soul:

1. God is still sovereign.
2. Christ is still reigning.
3. The Spirit is still interceding.
4. The church is still growing.
5. Scripture is still teaching.
6. The gospel is still saving.
7. Glory is still coming!

[Miles Shirk @MilesShirk]

Stingers up!

There is a higher good than your personal autonomy. There is a higher truth than the musings of your heart.

[Miles Shirk @MilesShirk]

We’re not home yet.

[Owen Strachan @ostrachan]

Disheartened Christian, here is one effect of trials you must remember:

Trials make you long for the promised eternal rest in the new heavens and new earth that you will soon enjoy.

[Miles Shirk @MilesShirk]

Careful you don’t “discern” yourself right out of fellowship with other beloved saints. ❤️
