It’s okay to have Jesus and a therapist, too.

Benched QB Kirk Cousins led his replacement, Michael Penix Jr. in prayer before taking the field 👏

Incredible humility and leadership

Having covered Kentucky this year and chatted with Nick Mingione, he is as genuine as they come. One of one.

If impartial fans in Omaha want a team to root for this week, I give you Kentucky.

A fun team led by a coach with a bigger purpose.

@cnieuwhof Currently reading Case for Christ with my kids. Your conversation with @LeeStrobel was such a fun, informative, timely listen. Appreciate you both.

@BethMooreLPM @cottrelltravis You served our city so well — pointed us to Jesus with grace, authenticity and even joy in the sadness. Thank you, thank you. With love, your delighted sister— Stef

[Stef Rowe @inthefrontRowe]

@cnieuwhof Just listened to your podcast with Kyle Idleman— such good stuff. Thank you both for your ongoing leadership.

@drantbradley I’m would love to see these options at every bar and restaurant in America. It shouldn’t be hard to be sober AND social. Check out Go Brewing out of Chicagoland, too.

God is always at work - look for where and join in! This is the most incredible invitation!

[Chad Bird @birdchadlouis]

Things don’t turn out the way we imagined they would. Dream jobs can be a nightmare at times. Even Love Boat marriages can go the way of the Titanic. No one in Hollywood or Nashville knows our name. We never bask in our fifteen minutes of fame. Instead, we settle into a decidedly predictable life that is sometimes happy, often hard, and occasionally quite brutal.

In other words, our lives are exactly the kind of lives that God gets excited about. The more unimpressive our jobs are, the more lackluster our bio, the more we feel like we’re just a name on a list or a face in the crowd, the more we are the perfect venues for God’s ongoing work in this world. If God is anything, he is a God who has a thing for the normal.

The Scriptures are packed with illustrations of this tendency. To begin with, God goes out of his way to handpick the wrong people for his most important missions. The Bible is like the HR Handbook from Hell. Here’s everything you should not do when looking for the perfect candidate for a position.

Need a woman to become the mother of a promised son? Instead of choosing a robust twenty-five-year-old, the Lord taps a post-menopausal, wrinkled, ninety-year-old named Sarah for the job.

Need someone to lead the emancipation of slaves from the most powerful nation on earth, as well as to serve as the spokesperson for these oppressed people? Rather than choosing the ancient equivalent of a Navy SEAL or a quick-tongued Secretary of State, God handpicks a stuttering eighty-year-old shepherd named Moses who’s been on the lam for forty years after beating a man to death.

Book after book, from Genesis to Revelation, the Lord sends men and women on errands they are ill-qualified to fulfill. And nothing has changed in today’s world. He continues to buck our manmade religious systems by inserting men and women into them who don’t meet our qualifications. But they meet God’s. He’s delighted to use them in his kingdom to show all of us that it’s not by brainpower or brawn but by the Spirit of love that the Father gets things done.

You're welcome.

@247Huskers @JakeAThompson — Great stuff here!

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

Do we want to make a point with our opinion or make a difference with Jesus?

It’s not that we can’t speak up. We just need to be sure we check the amount of love in our words.

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

When I sit quietly with God instead of trying to figure everything out, He takes my anxiety & replaces it with His peace, wisdom & security.

Lord, we hand our situations over to You. Humble us. Show us what steps to take. And help us to trust You with this every. single. day.

Little boy is fitted with his first prosthetic leg and immediately proceeds to walk.

So greatful to these amazing professionals!

Over 70% of youth athletes drop out of sports before they enter high school..
The reasons according to the kids themselves: Too much pressure to win, poor coaching, being forced to “choose” and specialize in a single sport at too early of an age, too expensive for parents, team/club politics, etc.
If you Google “Youth Sports Drop Out”
You’ll find multiple sources & studies.

Be kind. It’s one of the best sermons to preach with your life.

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

Let’s declare this together: I will live this life God entrusted to me with integrity and gratitude and wonder.

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

Calling on the name of Jesus shouldn’t be our last resort. It should be our first response.

So let’s choose to speak the name of Jesus over every need today. There is no other greater power or more assuring calm.

Jesus. Only Jesus. Forever Jesus.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Christian nationalism isn’t the way ahead for Jesus followers. Christian faithfulness is. It’s fidelity to Christ—not fidelity to notions of American Christianity or to any political party—that will bring light into this present darkness. The church is bride to no one but Christ.
