@andrewtwalker have you read “The Violent Take it by Force” by @TaylorMatthewD ? If so, have you written a review on it or are you considering doing so? I found the book to be very interesting!
@joethorn I’ve created a sermon worksheet I use regularly & have walked several others through it…I use my iPad mini throughout the prep and to preach from: prep in Notability, final manuscript in Pages (28 font Tabloid Oversize), mark it up & preach it using PDF Expert (classic invert)
I’m giving away 7 copies of College Football 25 because of this post 🤝
To enter, all you have to do is follow me, retweet this post, and comment your favorite school - I’ll pick the winners tomorrow
The game comes out soon, so I wanted to give away these copies now. I’ll still honor the additional copy for every 5k followers up until release though
I couldn’t state it any better than the SBTS Graduation Pledge we recited together as graduates, “We stand on the truth of God’s Word, on the power of the gospel, and on the faith once for all delivered to the saints…By God’s grace, we are the next in line.”
Earlier this month I had the distinct privilege and honor to graduate from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary with my MDiv in Great Commission Studies…#SBTS23#nextinline @southernseminary @albertmohler

I certainly could not have accomplished this without their support and the support of my beautiful wife, my kids, my parents, and many others throughout the years who urged me to continue my education. God has been overwhelmingly good to me!
God gifted me with a very gracious and generous couple who financially supported me in this endeavor as they “invested in the advancement of the gospel” (their words) through what God had blessed them with…
Questions to ask after a Sunday sermon:
1. What beautiful attribute of Jesus did it display?
2. What horrific sin of mine did it challenge?
3. What holy action did it encourage me to do?
4. What wonderful truth could I share with a non-Christian friend?
What do you ask?
Having a productive week might be simpler than you think. I love what @revchadbrooks encourages pastors to prioritize:
1. Sermon Prep time
2. Two non-negotiable deep work sessions
3. Tiny/huge tasks (the small things that make a big difference)
People often get placed in leadership because they are great at doing.
But being a great doer will keep you from being a great leader — because the best leaders aren't the best at doing but at delegating.
Classic example of "what got you here won't get you there."
“I argue that in many ways it is the departure of the Church from preaching that is responsible in large measure for the state of modern society…the Church, having abandoned her real task, has left humanity more or less to its own devices.” - D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones #preaching
