Modern conversation: talk a ton, listen barely at all, interrupt incessantly, check your phone constantly, rarely ask questions, little joy
Christian conversation: talk engagingly, listen well, uninterrupted flow, ignore phone, draw the other person out, generally enjoy talking
50 years ago today: In a tribute to Galileo, Apollo 15 astronaut Dave Scott performs the hammer-and-feather drop. With no air resistance, the objects fall at the same rate regardless of mass.
You’re struggling to understand why some people are vaccine hesitant. The “let me help you” megathread:
Imagine you’re a normal person. The year is 2016. Rightly or wrongly, you believe most of what you see in the media.
Things that make you privileged:
- Being attractive
- Being intelligent
- Having parents who work hard
- Having parents who love each other
- Having parents who teach, guide, love, and protect you

Young men, unlearn these 6 lies as soon as possible:
