The world just got a little bit brighter and a little bit better y'all!

[Adam Neil Currence @adamcurrence]

@ThirdEyeBlind you were phenomenal last night in Memphis TN! As a lifelong fan I try to see you every chance I get!

Not every church with a “flower room” is a dying church, but every dying church has a “flower room”.

[Carey Nieuwhof @cnieuwhof]

Churches that grow are churches that default toward what is possible when it comes to opportunity.

Not sure what I mean?

Study the opposite. You’ve seen it or lived it far too often.

Someone comes up with a bright idea, and the group listening almost immediately comes up with 21 reasons why the idea can’t happen.

“We’re too small.”
“We don’t have the budget.”
“Our team can’t pull that off.”
“That will never work.”
“So and so tried it.….”

That’s what kills vision and growth.

One of the best church growth strategies is to bring in new 'idea – people'. They'll default to how to make the idea happen. Their bias is always toward what is possible. And if it seems impossible, they will brainstorm until they figure out how to make it happen.

The most successful people I know don’t take themselves too seriously, but they are serious about three things:

1. Their friends.

2. Their time.

3. Their thoughts.

They don't treat any of those casually.

@CultureCrave This makes me feel a little better. A little.

[Jon Acuff @JonAcuff]

“Fear comes free, hope takes work.”

That’s a soundtrack I say to myself often.

You never have to look for fear, doubt or worry.

They will find you, often when you least expect it.

Hope? Positivity? Joy?

You have to work to find those, but it’s worth it.

I am more and more convinced that the future of the church is smaller. It's around tables, not stages. It's relational. It's formational. It's prayer-based. - John Mark Comer

@ThirdEyeBlind 2015. Memphis. Caught a drumstick that was thrown into the crowd. Y’all ended with “something in you.” What a night! Framed the poster and drumstick!

Been driving a Ford Maverick Hybrid for 3 months now. Perfect vehicle for me. 44.5mpg over 5k miles. Love it!

[Car Dealership Guy @GuyDealership]

The most under-hyped vehicles right now:

Hybrids.

Consumer adoption has been sky-rocketing.

Market share of Hybrids has grown from 6.5% to 11.4% since last year.

EV market share has grown at ~1/5th of that rate, for context.

Look, here’s the deal -

Tesla will likely continue winning the EV market share wars. The company offers a desirable product and has solidified it’s spot as the leader in the space.

But say it with me: demand for Tesla EVs ≠ demand for Legacy EVs.

Different products.
Different consumer preferences.
Different target market.
Different price ranges.
etc etc etc

Bottom line:

Legacy manufacturers are due for a painful reconsideration of their investments in EVs.

The data (and anecdotes) don’t support these levels of investment.

Day’s supply of Legacy EVs (Ford, Chevy, etc) is rising ~2X faster than the rest of the car market.

The cars aren’t moving. And many dealers are rejecting inventory allocation from the manufacturers.

If — big if — Legacy manufacturers are truly listening to consumers, we‘ll soon start to see a slow (and painful) transition from more EVs to more Hybrids.

Maybe, just maybe, those Prius drivers were up to something after all…

What do you think?

Almost every Sunday after church as a kid. This is where the addiction to pizza began.

[2026 Tennessee Titans Enthusiast @traviebird00]

Pizza Hut in the 90’s. You had to be there.

I used to be a youth pastor. It was such a tough job. I cannot imagine doing it in 2023. Those guys are heroes.

[Jon Acuff @JonAcuff]

One of the greatest days of your life is when your kids learn how to put on their own shoes. Your cortisol levels immediately plummet. Your productivity skyrockets. Food tastes different. Hallmark should make a card you can give to friends to celebrate when it happens for them.

We can look at our culture the way Jonah looked at Nineveh or the way Jesus looked at Jerusalem.

Why did animals like this make it off the Ark?

[Science girl @sciencegirl]

In the rugged and rocky terrains of the Zagros mountains in Iran, a remarkable predator roams, known as the spider-tailed horned viper

Look at its tail,

the tip resembles the shape of a spider, but not only that it moves just like a spider, and used as a hunting tool to lure insectivorous birds
