Best advice for a daily grind in ministry:
Exhaust your body (exercise) and exhaust your mind (deep study of God's Word and theology) each day and you will not make any provision for the flesh.
As embodied people, we need basic embodied practices of walking with God.

Ernie Johnson is an absolute legend and an awesome example of a Christian that stands in the sports industry with integrity and excellence. His autobiography is a personal favorite.
One of my great mentors Dr. Ben Awbrey used to say this and it always stuck with me: "Practical righteousness flows from positional righteousness"
Keep our eyes on the truth of who Jesus is and what he has done and practical righteousness will flow out from there.
Pragmatism threatens to be the new liberalism. People won't overtly deny the resurrection of Jesus, but their focus on the appearance of worldly success—number of people, cash in the coffers, beautiful buildings—crowds out the big truths of the faith. Conversion, doctrine, etc.
Appreciate this profound article
"that is the shape of Christian manhood. Not "Peace in my days," but the unwavering pursuit of sacrificial responsibility… So that those coming behind us are safer, stronger, wiser, and more faithful because we were here"

@ColtonYarbro@evbible The Mr. Pen version of the micron is what I use in my Bible and I am thoroughly pleased using it. A little more bold than the pigma micron pens with minimal to no bleed through and a lot more affordable!

On re-enchantment: we should be transfixed by blades of grass, sunrises and songbirds.
We don't need to search out the spooky. The lust for the spooky is a vice, a form of ingratitude.
