Will someone please make a movie of Theo of Golden starring @tomhanks

[Dr. Arthur Brooks @arthurbrooks]

Men tend to get lonelier as they age.

One reason is that many of their friendships are built around shared interests rather than shared inner lives.

There's nothing wrong with golf, fantasy football, or talking about work. But if every conversation stays there, it's possible to spend years surrounded by people and still have nobody you can tell the truth to.

I've met countless successful men who can name dozens of colleagues and acquaintances but struggle to identify a single person they could call in a moment of real pain.

By middle age, many have become fluent in banter and almost illiterate in confession. The friendships that endure are often built through small acts of courage: asking the deeper question, giving the honest answer, and risking being known.

Loneliness rarely arrives all at once. It accumulates quietly, one surface-level conversation at a time.

90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.

Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.

A new discourse analysis tool just dropped. Oh, and it's free! 🪎

Tracing the logical flow of a text is crucial to exegesis, so I'm thrilled to see another app that supports this method.

Back with blue books!

[Jared C. Wilson @jaredcwilson]

Administering the final exam in my pastoral ministry course this morning using blue books. Students must write answers longhand. I'm seeing guys groaning and keep massaging their hands, I guess, because nobody writes for sustained periods any more.
