For those who, like me, love a good bit of complex geopolitics, here’s a great thread to help understand what’s at stake

[Tanvi Ratna @tanvi_ratna]

Trump’s new tariffs aren’t a trade tweak—they’re the first move in a full-spectrum reset.

$9.2T in debt matures in 2025. Inflation lingers. Alliances are shifting.

One announcement just set a dozen wheels in motion.
Here’s what’s really happening—and why it matters 🧵

@ryanburge It’s odd that LDS is listed under Christians.

[J Paulo Lopes @TheJPLopes]

@BigSmoke840 @lymanstoneky He said “Dear Christians”. Clearly not you. So nothing makes him think you care 🤦‍♂️

Disciple-making isn’t a solo project—it’s a journey we walk together. But here’s something I’ve been learning: without mutual admiration, discipleship falls flat.

Today’s inauguration has one clear winner… Carrie Underwood! In an age of technology, autotune, backing tracks, and the like… she pulled off an unexpected acapela performance.

“we are only able to mature in our discipleship to the extent that we are willing to give access to others to things about us that are otherwise hidden”

Looks like @NYTGames messed up the word #Hanukkah today by spelling #hannukah , corrected it quietly, but didn’t acknowledge it 😬😬😬

Went back to check and it had been fixed

Foundations of Disciple-Making: Relationships https://t.co/RK4gzYnZqv

[World Methodist Evangelism @worldmethodist]

Is belief alone enough? 🤔 In James 2:18-24, we're reminded that true faith comes alive through action. Faith isn't just words—it’s lived out by serving, loving, and standing up for those in need. 💪❤️

@joyjmoore @nseminary Incredible news! Can’t think of a better choice! Congrats, Joy!!

[World Methodist Evangelism @worldmethodist]

📖✨ Discipleship isn't a "Do-It-Yourself" project! While we love a good DIY challenge, faith was never meant to be tackled alone. True discipleship means walking together, learning from each other, and letting the Word transform us in community.

Tim is a dear friend. Proud of him, and thankful for his service.

[74th Governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin @GovernorVA74]

On #NationalPurpleHeartDay I had the honor of presenting SPC Timothy Britt Jr. with his Purple Heart Medal. Today, we recognize SPC Britt and all Purple Heart recipients for their service and sacrifice to our country.

@revstephenfife @HabeGiggins Yep. Albeit on my way out of conference office. DCM asked in order to protect his job. I refused.
Agree NDA’s should not exist in the Church.
