EQUIPPING those who will GO

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

I love my tribe

We don’t have steady incomes

Most of us don’t have health insurance

We just have the audacity to believe that there is a God who loves the world so much that He’d send His Son

And if we do what He asks, go where He says, we’re gonna change the world

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

This shouldn’t cause analysis paralysis but invite mature believers into your hearing from God. Wrestle with their feedback. The devil has us by the ear in our hyper individualism.

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

“I knew it was God because it didn’t make sense”

“I knew it was God because I didn’t want to do it”

God is not a God of confusion.

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

I think the devil masquerades as an Angel of light and would love to exhaust and distract you in passionate pursuits that aren’t God or lead you into such a catatonic peace that you are always in a season of rest not advancing the Kingdom

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

It’s sad to me that we have made a standard out of going against logic as the sure thing that it’s really Gods voice

If what you think you are hearing isn’t logical than submit it to others who have walked with God well and let them weigh it with you

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

Wouldn’t it be just like the devil

To deceive us into thinking

The most spiritual thing we could do is

Long for something inferior than what Christ has already given

All the while taking great pride in finding our identity in this

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

maybe this battle for ideas is actually a good thing?

would the ancient greeks be having a hay day?

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

just jotting down some thoughts...

the internet has made ideas and access to ideas abundant

todays egalitarianism makes everyone an expert

protest culture means everyone is ready to go to war over their ideas

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

removing gate keepers has given access to resources so normies can arise, but also given platform and "authority" and influence to some whacky ideas

a lot of people are not critically thinking and can be swept away by emotions not truth

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

Bummed that @AskVenice has a 1 hour limit on their voice mode and I have to wait 21 days even though I am a pro member

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

LOVING that @AskVenice now has voice mode!

Blargh. I do not enjoy avocado mayo at all.

[Valerie Anne Smith @ValerieAnne1970]

"Genetically Modified Mayo: Hellmann's 'Real' Mayonnaise now requires a bioengineered label on its jars."

"Less than 2% of each jar is egg...98% is chemicals, oils, corn starch, EDTA & thickened with gums.

Hong Kong: On March 23, 2026, the Hong Kong government changed the implementing rules relating to the National Security Law. It is now a criminal offense to refuse to give the Hong Kong police the passwords or decryption assistance to access all personal electronic devices including cellphones and laptops. This legal change applies to everyone, including U.S. citizens, in Hong Kong, arriving or just transiting Hong Kong International Airport. In addition, the Hong Kong government also has more authority to take and keep any personal devices, as evidence, that they claim are linked to national security offenses.

I’m at an airport and pilot pulled his luggage around the table I’m sitting at in the food court and ran into it. It made me giggle. Ironic huh?

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

interesting, i want to think about this more, strategy vs logistics

[Eric Schwalm @Schwalm5132]

One thing that was drilled into my head over 34 years in the military is this:

1) Professionals think logistics
2) Amateurs think tactics

You dont have to study the failures of the armies that invaded Russia through the centuries to realize this. Just go for a three day hike on the AT and don't bring any food, water, toilet paper, mosquito repellent, or bear spray. Let me know how motivated you are at the end of those 72 hours.

Beans and bullets win wars and you have to protect the people that provide them.

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

This is scary

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

i recently purchased @AskVenice pro

last night I tried to get it to help me learn latin for fun

I was enjoying it but, it started changing what I typed, and displaying what it was changing it to (for it to best understand) it was interesting to see but frustrating

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

@DJohnstonEC wild. i'm excited to get on board.

[Jim and Jess Baker @jimjessbaker]

@DJohnstonEC looking forward to hearing about it!
