New here? Let me introduce myself๐งต:
Iโve been a #chaplain to college students for over a decade. I love working with these #emergingadults & so I create content for them alongside my IRL ministry.
My #newbook, Knowing & Being Known: Hope for All Our Intimate Relationships,
Giving the holy family a day off so that another epic Christmas family can pop in and ask: โHow is it still Christmas, Todd!?!โ

When your book sells out at the bookstore AND you get to reconnect with friends like @edstetzer, you know itโs a great day at Urbana 25!
Join me in praying for Ed as he shares tonight about Godโs mission to 7,000 students. What an incredible opportunity to make much of Jesus!
Today is the feast day of the #holyinnocents. In the middle of the festivities, we cannot forget the violence & evil that tries to quell the Light.
Yet, the darkness is overcome.

Since #StStephen gave one of the best gospel messages recorded while he was being martyred, I think he would approve of posting this beautiful icon on his #feastday.

Headed to Urbana 2025! In just about 2 wks thousands of young adults will be gathering to grow in their faith, leadership skills, & vision for God's global mission. Iโm honored to lead a breakout session on the Art of Friendship: How God Changes the World Through Relationships

So for this first Sunday of Advent, I invite you to take a few deep breaths, read this poem slowly and deliberately, lift your eyes and see the others in this open field around you. We are here for #knowingandbeingknown. This Advent, we wait together.
"Rooted and shaken ..." This Advent Season, I invite you to reflect with me. In Advent, we wait, but we wait together. We wait with those who just as broken and beautiful as we are, knowing "only love can quiet the fear of love."
โItโs been a hard year for a lot of people โฆ It makes sense why Christmas lights & holiday tunes would lift the spirits. And if this is you, I would like to offer the possibility that what your mental & emotional health might really need is Advent.โ https://t.co/DgLVgpBUgv
#knowingandbeingknown has been out in the world for 6 months! ๐๐
Help us celebrate by recommending it to a friend who needs hope for all their intimate relationships.
Explores elements of healthy relationships. the complexities of intimacy, and how the gospel relates to intimacy. @ivpress@erinfmoniz

I am relieved that this book exists because it is a force of reckoning in this movement of #knowingandbeingknown. And it is a major resource in the pursuit of #theartofadultfriendship.
Let me know if you rea d it. I want all your thoughts.
This #offtheshelf#minireview is a long time coming. I learned about this book while finishing my manuscript. Though I wish I had read it soon enough to include in my own book, honestly, itโs a blessing b/c I might have had to add new chapters to cover the overlap of material.
Basically, there isnโt another book out there like this. The stories are both familiar & foreign. But their insights demand our attention.
Pushing back the tide of #romanceidolatry is an overwhelming but necessary undertaking for the sake of all our #intimaterelationships.
