When Frodo is overwhelmed and wishes he could quit, how does Gandalf counsel him? "We have to decide what to do with the time we have been given us." Think and then Act - this is the key to not quitting. #LordOfTheRings #MotivationalQuotes #MotivationalTuesday

@Mellow_Mizz @cortexfutura So cool. How do you organize the roam and gpt connection?

To fight lies, Comer suggests: 1) Identify the troubling thought/feeling 2) Recognize the lie behind it 3) Replace it with God's truth. Our ultimate security and happiness come from God's love, not worldly success or possessions. #TruthOverLies

John Mark Comer's "Live No Lies" explores why following Jesus can feel challenging and tiring. Drawing wisdom from early Christian monastics, he identifies 3 key enemies of the soul: the world, the flesh, and the devil. Understanding these helps us navigate our spiritual journey.

Evagrius Pontus, a desert monk, discovered that temptation follows us everywhere, even in isolation. He developed a 3-step method to combat the devil by "talking truth back." This ancient wisdom remains relevant for dealing with modern spiritual challenges. #MonasticWisdom

AG1 is an empty promise.

Why am I poasting about AG1? To highlight the depths of our societal sickness. Insurance companies actively avoid being helpful. Government recommendations are lobby-led. Fast food is on every corner. Algorithms do with you as they please. The environment is polluted. Our food supply is dirty AF. The supplement market is a disaster.

Where do we find refuge?

AG1, a nutrition company, surely has your back? It promises “75 vitamins, minerals, whole-food sourced superfoods, probiotics and adaptogens” in one scoop.

Meanwhile, AG1:
+ Pixie-dusting: providing a fraction of clinically effective doses
+ 49 out of ~70 ingredients (70%) have an unknown dose - that’s insane
+ 20% of your monthly AG1 payment ($16) goes to the influencer directly, and in perpetuity
+ After over fourteen years in the market, AG1 has done one small study looking at subjective feelings. Nothing measuring clinically relevant biomarkers. No medical doctors on their research team.

This is about more than AG1. This is about companies leveraging clever marketing, paying authority figures (influencers) to parrot their talking points, and taking advantage of the individual to spend their hard earned money trying to navigate the gauntlet of our current Die society.

Is it a strange irony to go to the Rodeo on Super Tuesday to listen to Oliver Anthony, modern day Bob Dylan(?), sing about the Rich Men North of Richmond! #OliverAnthony #RodeoHouston2024

A strictly materialistic worldview makes immanent symbols sacred. The Christian worldview values both immanent and transcendence which is why Eucharist/Communion is central to worship.

Here is some of my advice for those who are graduating and entering “the real world.”

You’re about to enter the beginning of the second phase of your life which is totally different from the first. Realize that you know virtually nothing about what it’s like so you need to learn what it’s like and how to be great at it.

To be young and have all that adventure ahead of you is wonderful. Make the most of it! Here are some principles that might help you.

@GrammarHippy Curious... did you start Grammar Hippy as an faceless brand first and then switch?

[Emmanuel Paulpeter @epaulpeter]

@ItsWillMyles @GrammarHippy Curious- in what way/ways did you make the switch?

[Culture and Christ | Books | TV Shows | Stories @CultureChrist23]

Flannery O'Connor's short story, A Good Man is Hard to Find, is a brilliant critique of culture Christianity. The "bible belt" as a sort of a culture that is imbued with a morality of being nice and fair to people. The one who is nice and fair to others is the good Christian man.
