Matthew H. John, PhD

PhD in geography from @ukgeog: beauty, nature, place, emancipation in the Anthropocene. Jesus person (but not like that). Partner to Emily; dad of three.

[Matthew H. John, PhD @matthewhjohn]

This is why I am getting my PhD in geography. Because if we actually listened to our connections to place and to beauty — and the Holy that reveals itself there — we would not find ourselves in the predicaments we’re in now.

[Hillary L McBride @hillarylmcbride]

I consistently find the Holy in places mundane, unglamorous, and painfully slow. And as I keep finding them I wonder more if the Holy is not just in those things, moments, places, but both in the paying attention, and the space between what is noticed and who is noticing.

@Cruser_88 @MixtapeTheology Same!

@AidanSLytle45 HOW DARE YOU BEAUTIFUL LETDOWN IS PERFECT

[Matthew H. John, PhD @matthewhjohn]

@JBay_AllTheWay @thirdday 1. King of Glory
2. It's Alright
3. Angus Dei
4. Your Love Oh Lord (Psalm 36)
5. Show Me Your Glory

And it probably doesn’t count since it wasn’t the whole band, but an honorable mention for Mac Powell on “God of Wonders.”

@Ineverglow That Mutemath album is so good! One of my favorites.

[Matthew H. John, PhD @matthewhjohn]

@JBay_AllTheWay This one’s etched in my memory forever. And I’ve actually been listening to it again these last few months. Still a banger.

[Matthew H. John, PhD @matthewhjohn]

@MixtapeTheology My favorite Switchfoot song is definitely “Dare You to Move.” Actually, I t’s one of my favorite songs, period.

[Matthew H. John, PhD @matthewhjohn]

Appreciating the new song "Jesus and John Wayne" by googly eyes, @joyoladokun, and @AllisonPonthier. Wouldn't be surprised to find out @kkdumez and her book by the same name were an influence.

@Ineverglow How would you rank this one relative to their 1997 self-titles album (which is one of my all-time favorites)?

[Matthew H. John, PhD @matthewhjohn]

@rankheresy For me it'd have to be 25 years. But same.

@M_Vernon @franfraschilla And for calling Hunter "secretly a good defender," or something to that effect.

@taylorsschumann @PopcastPod I’ll second someone’s suggestion of Handsome (@handsomepod). It’s so funny! I also love The Popcast with Knox & Jamie (@PopcastPod).

@JBay_AllTheWay Michael W. Smith’s “Change Your World”

[emily may @emilykmay]

hating the patriarchy is not hating men, patriarchy is a ✨system✨ that men benefit from, but is also slowly killing them.

male loneliness, having high suicide rates....it all goes back to the same bad system. they're just gaslit into believing it's good for them.

[Matthew H. John, PhD @matthewhjohn]

@Ineverglow @StevenCurtis Here are mine:
1. Prologue (instrumental intro The Great Adventure)
2. The Great Adventure
3. Moment Made for Worshipping
4. All Things New
5. Music of Christmas/Christmas Is All In The Heart (I can’t decide!)

[Matthew H. John, PhD @matthewhjohn]

@20th_Centurygal Just got home from an @amygrant concert, and I think I would probably choose her.

[Matthew H. John, PhD @matthewhjohn]

@AimeTim Very much looking forward to checking this out! Sounds so great.

[Matthew H. John, PhD @matthewhjohn]

@AimeTim I would definitely be interested! Unfortunately, I probably wouldn’t be able to attend in person. But the topic is right up my alley. Sounds fantastic!

[Matthew H. John, PhD @matthewhjohn]

@iantheCROAT Florence + The Machine’s cover of “Tiny Dancer” is immaculate.
