Wait until Walsh learns that some of the earliest Bible films cast a woman to play David. Yep…Goliath was killed by a woman.

I asked ChatGPT to create an image based on Judges 5. Its response is pure perfection!

I made a business trip to Saudi Arabia during Ramadan. I expected to fast, like everyone else. However, every company I visited insisted on providing lunch for me. They wouldn’t impose their obligation on a non-Muslim guest.

May we practice similar grace and hospitality.

An Americano made with Puerto Rican double espresso seemed like an appropriate start to Super Bowl Sunday.

Here's a fun fact: Puerto Rico became part of the United States before Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii were granted statehood.

2. Daniel and his companions didn’t unlock the divine secret to good health by eating only vegetables and water. It was the only way they could keep kosher. The remarkable part of the story is that they got FAT on this diet.

May we become better readers of our Bibles in 2026!

[Rob Kranz @KranzRob]

Hot Take for the New Year: If you are searching your Bible for some secret diet, you may have lost the plot.

1. Ezekiel 4:9 is not a God-ordained health food; it is siege bread. Think of it as prophetic performance art meant to make people pay attention.

🎄 What does peace really mean? Not just quiet calm or the absence of war, but something that transforms whole communities. In today’s Christmas Eve post, I explore the biblical idea of shalom and why it matters now more than ever. Merry Christmas! 🎄

Joseph says nothing in the Gospels, yet he speaks volumes through his actions. His actions highlight a very Jewish idea: some laws in the Torah take precedence over others.

✨Ever notice one key figure we rush past in the Christmas story? Dive into the overlooked hero of the Nativity — Joseph — and why his role matters more than we realize. #Christmas

“But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven.” (Matt 5:44-45a, NRSV)

“O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” may very well be the most biblically and theologically correct hymn we sing at Christmas (and maybe all year).

Good behavior is not dictated by the clothes one wears. I’ve seen more than my fair share of jerks on flights that were “well-dressed business men.“

[Rob Kranz @KranzRob]

As someone who has flown more than 2.5 million miles over the course of my professional career, I consider myself more than qualified to contribute to the conversation about the current administration’s push for better dress on airlines.

[Rob Kranz @KranzRob]

The key to air travel is comfort. Wear something that doesn’t exacerbate the general discomfort of economy class travel. The longer the flight, the more important comfortable clothing is.

@mbird12 Love it!!

There are many things about September 11th that stick with me. But it's the words of a Muslim stranger that I pray I will never forget. #NeverForget911
