We have too much evidence that just "getting into the Word" doesn't produce Christ-like character.

Is the problem the Bible? No!

It's the lack of up-close discipleship, around the table, to the ways of Jesus on the streets.

@GenZPastor My mom hasn’t been able to taste anything since she had Covid in July. Long Covid is a real thing.

Deleted work email app to remove temptation to work. Feasting and playing to commence!

The EARLY CHURCH worshipped around tables filled with food, not in pews filled with prudes or pulpits filled with dudes.

Hospitality, not hate, drew people to Jesus.

The most sacred piece of furniture in your life is your kitchen table.

Shared meal > Systematic theology

[Abby Peper @PonderingPeper]

@kevinmyoung Yes! We are solely a dinner church. I believe the hospitality of the table is the way.

This introvert peopled a lot yesterday and today.

@GenZPastor Hold fast! Be willing to create what does not exist. Make people realize that it’s worth investing in.

[Dan White Jr. @danwhitejr]

The renewal of the church will not start with microphones on stages, it will start with meals around tables.

@GenZPastor Personally, I gained a lot from taking nearly two years off after undergrad and before seminary. Rest, discernment, and life experience.

[Abby Peper @PonderingPeper]

@GenZPastor Food for thought. Is it the graduate school’s responsibility or the student’s to recognize burnout and make adaptations? (Or both?) Schools need to uphold a level of rigor which means there may need to be gaps between programs rather than forcing a sprint through each program.

What if at the end of history, the question God asks us is not whether we abstained from sin.

What if the question is “Did you enter into the joy that was available to you?”

Overnight my cat got a hold of a paper towel roll, and in effect tp-ed my kitchen. I am still laughing about it.

“What relevance can God have for people whose minds and hearts have been assaulted with the message that human beings are economic creatures whose vocation is to produce, purchase, and consume, not religious beings called to love, worship, and praise God?” - Paul J. Wadell
