The person you’ll be in 5 years depends on:
- The books you read
- The people you spend time with
- The food you eat
- The habits you adopt
- The conversations you engage in today.
Each choice is a step toward the future you.
Here's the debate I hosted between @BenShapiro and Destiny (@TheOmniLiberal), two of the most skilled political debaters in the world. They each arguably represent the right & left of American politics, respectively. The topics include Trump vs Biden, Jan 6, Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, wokeism & DEI, marriage/relationships, and more. This was intense, fascinating, and fun.
It's here on X in full and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else too. Links in comment.

The dreaded day of “fall back” is this weekend—I want to preserve the sleep for every Oklahoma by making Daylight Saving Time Permanent. Retweet if you agree.
@tweethue It is connected to a switch, which is connect to the router. I'll try that. It's strange, it will work for several hours, then stop working again. It seems to be working fine this morning.
@tweethue my hue bridge has been working great for years. Suddenly, it started not being available on the network. Network light is on, but internet light is off. Can’t figure out how to fix this
Our family had so much fun this morning hanging out at the Upward basketball games! We served concessions and I got to talk to the kids about Moses and following Jesus. @ Claremore First https://t.co/MNACgek2Kp
Saw Wakanda Forever last night with Caleb. So good! And now I’ll be listening to the amazing soundtrack on repeat for the next month. #wakandaforever https://t.co/GNCChoMqgc
@jasondlee With all the money Amazon spent making this series, you’d think they could have gotten a better script. House of the Dragon, on the other hand, was spectacular.
My group at CrossTimbers dubbed themselves “Matt’s Minions”! I had so much fun hanging out with these guys this week as we played and learned. I can tell you God had incredible things in store for these five!! https://t.co/OSLzxEye5Q
38. Attention Economy:
The world is competing for your attention. Therefore, your attention has value like real currency, and should be treated as such. Ask yourself, what are you wasting attention on, and where would investing it yield the best return?
This is a historic day in US history. Roe has been overturned!! A grave and destructive wrong has been corrected. It is a day to celebrate the sanctity of life, all human life. Tomorrow the struggle continues to work toward a culture of life.
As I kick off my vacation week, all that God has said about REST is going through my head. Work hard, as unto the Lord (Col 3:23), but don’t forget to take time to rest. Sure looking forward to some rest after the last few week!
