“Finally, brothers,
whatever is true,
whatever is honorable,
whatever is just,
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely,
whatever is commendable,
if there is any excellence,
if there is anything worthy of praise,
think about these things.”

(Phil. 4:8 ESV)

@NickQuient Make up your mind. Which team are you rooting for?

Knowledge puffs up. Love builds up.

@Seth_Troutt Best sources of protein?

[Chris Poblete @ChrisPoblete]

I do this when I make quesadillas for my kids.

[Chris Poblete @ChrisPoblete]

@JonnyReid_CIS @p_emory Good to know! Thx. @JeremyTreat5 is local to me. We’ve only met a few times, but I know a handful of folks at his church and seems to be a genuinely good dude. Exceptionally bright and doing faithful pastoral work.

Anyone have a recommended resource on a theology of sports? Particularly interested in something that speaks into (1) the common grace power of sports to rally communities across cultures and tribes, and (2) a Xian take on the merits of athletic competition.

[Chris Poblete @ChrisPoblete]

Fantastic. Thx for the recs. Added to the list.

Some context: I'm learning to lvoe sports all over again because of my kids. Their hobbies have become easy doors for discipleship convos, and I'm still working out how to actuallythink about the whole thing. I wasn't much of a jock growing up and wasn't raised in the faith, so I never registered sports as a gift the way I do now.

And what's more - I'm musing over how all my soccer-agnostic friends and neighbors are suddenly full-blown soccer stans this month. It's brining them joy. Rewind a few years, and I can sub out "soccer" with "F1" - go back further, it's "MMA/CrossFit" - go further still, and it's the 90s and I'm discovering basketball along with the rest of the world.

So lately I'm curious to learn from others who've done more thinking and formation here than I have.

@DannyMorgan0 Love me some Eglinton. Especially, Eglinton on Bavinck.

[Chris Poblete @ChrisPoblete]

@jasonbhood @p_emory Yep. That’s the one. Thank you!

[Chris Poblete @ChrisPoblete]

@dvdpeters @p_emory This is the one. Thx!

[Chris Poblete @ChrisPoblete]

@NickQuient Wait wut. Was that your first watch?

[Chris Poblete @ChrisPoblete]

@lukedsimmons I think about that last line on heaven a lot. I hope there’s space for holy awkwardness in glory. It’ll be hilarious watching online adversaries find out they’re assigned to the same table at the wedding supper of the Lamb.

@kevinhash @RebeccMcLaugh That’s how this app works, unfortunately.

[Chris Poblete @ChrisPoblete]

@jasonkovacs @gospelcareco That is a fantastic book.

[Chris Poblete @ChrisPoblete]

TIL our go-to dictionary is hilarious on 𝕏.

Let’s throw a parade.

[Chris Poblete @ChrisPoblete]

Just turned the game on. What in the world?! I did not expect this.

[Chris Poblete @ChrisPoblete]

@Seth_Troutt Rad. Just take my money.

[Chris Poblete @ChrisPoblete]

@danielsilliman Well, that’s rich.

[Chris Poblete @ChrisPoblete]

Watched @natebargatze’s Breadwinner with the family over the weekend. Now we’re big Bargatze fans over here, but I did not expect to laugh as hard as I did. Genuine fun for everyone.

Head’s up: If you know Nate’s standup, you might be thrown off in the first few minutes to learn he can express a full range of emotions.
