@xp_1517 @ericmetaxas @charliekirk11 Not N.T. Wright.

@ahc And one of the passengers is a former IV Staff to boot. Maybe it can serve as another recent illustration and story. https://t.co/lryu09cuKq

@ahc Hi Andy, I loved your book & have been mulling over it quite a bit over the last few months! I thought of you & the interplay of your ideas about dependence, flourishing, and tech when I read an article about a canceled flight & the surprising community built in a 15-person van.

@searchlight5 @WCCO Just searched this quote to see if anyone else wondered what they meant. Did they think winter had five letters!?

Such a great summary blog post by @HorwitzIlana about her new book on religion, class, upbringing, and academics. I look forward to reading it as a parent and minister!

So totally interesting. I cannot imagine a more encouraging dual result than: 1/ religious belief helps nonaffluent kids attain greater academic success AND 2/ religious belief helps affluent kids disregard status in their life choices. https://t.co/sAZzeBEV9Z

"This is the amazing thing about Christmas: the way it absorbed and triumphed over the paganism and imperial ideology that, the night Christ was born, was the only imaginative game in town." Merry Christmas to all! https://t.co/RLanm5OO5H

@chrisgohman I like your question, but also - a cast iron skillet full of ground beef for the fourth of July?

@Tish_H_Warren @DennyBurk I still think we are served by a historical analysis of the interpretation of authentein and its justification in the following verses. When ontological inferiority is obviously untenable one has to grasp for a new way to prohibit teaching...

I can't wait to read these books to my daughter! "A language lives when it’s in the hearts and minds of young people,” explains Treuer. “Making children’s books in Ojibwe is all about restoring the language to its rightful place: in our kids.” @antontreuer https://t.co/5Y4KlXmGUM

Why were redcoats marching in #InaugurationDay? It's the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps. They draw their lineage back to Washington's Continental Army. They "wore the opposite colors of the regiment to which they were a part." Hoping not to get shot. https://t.co/L8CsTTPaDX

The Christian calendar marks Jesus' baptism today. In the wake of a violent week & year - Dr Emmanuel Katongole's words haunt me regarding America even though he wrote re: the Rwandan Genocide. "the blood of tribalism runs deeper than the waters of baptism." -Mirror to the Church
