The Lord’s Prayer isn’t just a prayer — it’s a path and a framework.

It’s a path that leads us into confession and a framework that realigns our theology, priorities, and life with the kingdom of God.

The @AdvntConspiracy offers a better way of wrestling with the Advent season.

What intentional rhythms or habits shape your daily life? Share the practices that ground and guide you each day.

God, as I breathe in, help me pause.
Help me to embrace the gift of this moment.
Slow my thoughts.
Turn my eyes to see gratitude for now.
Let each inhale remind me of your grace.
Let each exhale express thank you.
#Thankyou #Grateful #Gratitude

Perhaps this historic view of prayer will give us a new daily prayer rhythm. It is a framework that I want to press more in too. #Patheos

I am realizing how much gratitude grounds me - or is a stabilizing force - in what it means to live quietly and by minding my own business, including in the workplace.

This is a review of Oikonomics by Mike Breen and Ben Sternke. Released in 2014, this book looks at what it means to invest all the capitals and capacities we have in our lives the way Jesus did, and for the sake of the Kingdom of God. #bookreview

I first read Simple Church when it was released but recently revisited it to see how its insights align with my evolving ecclesiology. Admittedly, I had a somewhat romanticized view of the book from my earlier reading. #SimpleChurch

By applying Clinton’s methods, readers can gain more meaningful insights and apply what they read more effectively. #BookReview

It is National Clergy Appreciation Month.

As a pastor, I reflected on the five pastors whose influence shaped my life and ministry - and do so even today.

It's good to root yourself in reflection of the here-and-now.

There are a lot of versions of the bible out there, and we want to help you choose a dependable one.

In this episode, my wardrobe supports the Fellowship for Clergy in Rural & Underserved Areas at @Campbelledu.

Recently, I switched to the Doctor of Ministry program at @TheKairosU​.

By December 2028, it is my goal to graduate with a DMin degree, debt-free, with a publishable dissertation, a 3.5 GPA, and be liberated for what is next.

I think that the second biggest indicator of success or fruitfulness depends on the congregation's ability to commit to carrying the most responsibility of the revitalization work...However, church communities do need resilient leaders...

This was my favorite scripture to preach on, so far in this series. There is so much richness in 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8.

[Jeff McLain @jeffmclain]

In 1989, @BobDylan sang, "We live in a political world. Where love don't have any place." That's been said about the church too.

...we talk about that.

This fall semester, through our Training in Ministry program, we are offering three courses online. This is a great opportunity to pursue growth spiritually, academically, and personally.
