"Liberalism is the only meta-narrative that has convinced the world that it is not a meta-narrative." -- Alasdair MacIntyre

[Bill Walker @BwalkerIII]

Coming out of “x” hibernation to say that, so far, @KSPrior’s new book, “You Have a Calling,” is very well done. Will likely be the new standard intro I mention + use when making recommendations to college students & other Christian Study Centers for a theology of vocation.

Saw this again on my feed today — some of the better news in our world:“Millennial dads are spending 3x as much time with their kids compared to their fathers. In 1982, 43% of fathers admitted they had never changed a diaper. Today, that number has dropped to about 3%.”

“The thread of greed that runs through budget culture encourages a habit of hoarding under the guise of good money management [while actually just reinforcing] a fear of scarcity…” — Dana Miranda, “You Don’t Need a Budget”

[Bill Walker @BwalkerIII]

Calls from both parties for “non-violence” and from church leaders for “peace” after an assassination attempt are a little hard to hear given that a few hours earlier, Israel killed 141 more Palestinians in a humanitarian zone with another “precise” air strike using US missiles..

Another reason why James Cone was so important.

[David Fitch @fitchest]

SO YOU THINK YOU SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF ABUSIVE AUTHORS.. BY CANCELING THEM? Not that simple. Read this piece on James Cone at 'Fitch's Provocations' (link in comments)

The college crisis is a crisis of meaning; colleges have forgotten why they exist. Turning small, liberal arts colleges into career-readiness institutions with bloated sports programs has nothing to do with the value of the liberal arts as understood historically.

A favorite memory of mine from grad school was when the late and brilliant Anselm Min, my advisor and dissertation committee chair at the time, had the privilege of introducing him before a keynote address at Claremont — I think around 2015. Dr. Min was so proud. I was too. RIP.

I was fortunate to get to hear #jurgenmoltmann speak in person a few times. He was compelling even in his later years. As for many, reading his theology made me better and more hopeful in the God of Jesus Christ, liberation, justice, and Christian eschatology…

Jürgen Moltmann, 8th April 1926-3rd June 2024.
A giant of theology, and a man with whom we were privileged to have had a long association.

"The truth of human freedom lies in the love that breaks down barriers"

@firstthingsmag “Why are these people so certain that…protestors are motivated by an abiding hatred of Jewish people and not footage we’ve all been seeing… since last October? This, the most obvious possible question… is not something anyone in charge cares to ask.” https://t.co/vI25bfQJlp

Jonathan Haidt needs to win a big prize of some sort. WOW!!!

It was great to have @james_ka_smith with us for this and for @HillHouseUT to partner with @UT_Civitas!

My latest piece: "Inasmuch as MacArthur rejects or even obstructs the American church’s efforts to repent of injustice, imitate Christ, and heal our country’s racism, sexism, and economic inequalities, he will only find himself fighting against God."

Stories like this are just the worst. So sad, and what an amazing human.

Eliud Kipchoge's tribute to Kelvin Kiptum captures the feeling of so many: a "rising star" with "a whole life ahead of him to achieve incredible greatness."

Here's our CNN tribute to the marathon world record holder, killed in a road accident at just 24

“What characterizes the West is not disenchantment but rather the condition of having learned to describe itself as disenchanted. . . What has diminished in the West is explicit worship of the Jewish and Christian God; what has not diminished is worship.” - William Cavanaugh

[Bill Walker @BwalkerIII]

Got to spend time with and hear from @JustinEGiboney this weekend of the @AndCampaign for the inaugural Austin Center for Faith & Work conference. Such a needed and prophetic voice for Christian public witness right now, calling us to courage, compassion, and self-examination.

[Dan White Jr. @danwhitejr]

Profound statement I heard from a church planter recently:

"...I thought if I mixed together my favorite liturgical, pentecostal, missional, and theological sensibilities it would be a church everyone loved, instead it's a church that no-one is really happy with."
