Jesus + Nothing = Everything.
My deconstruction process is like decluttering my closet of old beliefs. This belief was given to me by my grandma. This one was given to me by someone I respected.
You know that warm feeling you get and the smile that comes to your face when you look down on your sleeping child and think, "I just love that kid to pieces!" That's only a hint of how God loves His children all of the time.
@lukedsimmons@Seth_Troutt It felt like watching a podcast, but it was great! My one child who sits through two services said it wasn't as boring the second time (this is a compliment, I promise)!
@TimKennedyMMA …their school might suck AND your kid has ADD/ADHD…
Good teachers know how to educate kids with all types of learning differences!

In the middle of your sadness there is celebration, because you’ve read the final chapter and you know how God’s grand story is going to end...If grace has put eternity in your future there’s nothing that you could ever do in God’s name that is in vain. - Paul Tripp
@Seth_Troutt For our family, I am thankful that we had a childcare reimbursement benefit to assuage part of the cost when our children were in daycare. I wish the pro-life, pro-family party actually supported working families with higher child tax credits and other policies to help families.
@Seth_Troutt What about for the single mother who doesn’t have a family system around her? The ideal would be some retired people to step into that role but that isn’t very common.
Teacher turnover costs school districts more than $7 billion a year nationwide.
And that's not even counting the cost to students of lost trust and interrupted learning.
Investing in educators through higher pay and better working conditions pays off for everyone.
@lukedsimmons My teens are excited to be there twice a week. Yes, the habit and routine of church is there from childhood, but they genuinely WANT to be at church!
I have a M.Ed+10 years of classroom exp. I love teaching & I love kids. But it is wrong that I still cannot support myself & my kids on my salary. Thankful for a fun 2nd job but I wish that educators were paid a wage comparable to other industries w/ similar education & exp.
@Seth_Troutt@andrewtwalker This one required frequent pausing, looking up definitions, and explaining to help my 19-year-old follow along. Whew! My brain loved it! Thanks for this great episode.
