A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject to everyone.

Tonight, @brettmccracken and I will be having a conversation on Instagram Live about sleep, something we've both just released books about. (His book is substantially longer than mine.) Join us!

@jamesrwoodtheo That’s certainly true. My concern is there’s also a moralistic tendency to understand “hating and actively mortifying” merely as a cultural posture when our Reformed forebears also had in mind grief over personal sin, confession, and praying, “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

[Jared Kennedy @JaredSKennedy]

Love this fun- and fact-filled biography of Elisabeth Elliott for young readers by my colleague @MeganEvansHill. Kids will love the story and the interesting seek-and-find features. And they’ll be challenged to do hard things for God. https://t.co/dh8hYtqPds

"Reading Berry provokes robust discussion and plenty of disagreement, but he always moves students in profound ways, inspiring them to better order their wayward loves and to then go to work enacting them"

That Mendoza family magic … 👀

[Jared Kennedy @JaredSKennedy]

TGC leaders getting practical about the ethics of AI implementation beyond the written word. More work needs to be done on this topic, but what @msgwrites and @SkylerFlowers have put together here is a strong start.

[The Gospel Coalition @TGC]

Christians today need an principled ethical framework for evaluating AI use. These resolutions are derived from a moral reflection on the Ten Commandments.

Berry “wisely recognized that the grand mysteries of God’s vast cosmos, and the sweetest graces, are best grasped in the immediate and tangible, not the distant and abstract.” —@brettmccracken

@MelodyHLee Thanks for sharing that Melody. That’s super kind of you.

[Jared Kennedy @JaredSKennedy]

Incredibly helpful long-form conversation here about the theological assumptions behind the many fault lines in the biblical counseling movement today.

[Brian Walker @brian_walker75]

What a privilege to have @jared_poulton and @joehussung join me for this long-form convo on theological systems for counseling, where we explore the themes of Jared's excellent book, Van Til's Counseling Movement. https://t.co/mDsM9VSH40

[Jared Kennedy @JaredSKennedy]

Also, @BrianWalker asks careful, insightful questions throughout.

Of course, I expect nothing less from my old Bible college RA!

@jasonkovacs I also really like 'Waiting for Snow in Havana' by Carlos Eire, but that one's a memoir rather than fiction

[Jared Kennedy @JaredSKennedy]

@jasonkovacs 'Dearly Beloved' by Cara Wall
'Lila' by Marilynn Robinson
'Perelandra' by C.S. Lewis
'My Name is Asher Lev' by Chaim Potok
'The Death of the Archbishop' by Willa Cather
'Heaven and Earth Grocery Store' by James McBride

Gen-Z Christians are embracing their humanity in an AI age, pursuing belonging in the local churches, and kicking unhealthy habits by faith.

Saddened to hear the news of Wendell Berry’s death. My favorite passage from his novels is the one @FollowAfterMin reflects on here. https://t.co/h7aT50GyyR

[Jared Kennedy @JaredSKennedy]

Love this from TGC writing cohort participant, Katie Peterson:

"With gentle prayers and specific notes of encouragement, remind parents of children with disabilities that Christ is their ever-present help" https://t.co/pzlQerA4Rv

New devotional for pre-teens on how we’re not defined by what we feel but by what God’s grand narrative says about us.

Draft (finally!) sent off to @crossway earlier this week.
