I have been working with the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College to develop a survey of Gen Z.

We are just starting to roll out some of the results.

The headline below tells a huge part of the story -- half of Gen Z says the fact that many Christians supporting Trump has made them less likely to go to church.

I’ve been unexpectedly without work since March, and I don’t have anything in place for August (or beyond). So, I’m urgently looking.

If there is a FT opening w/ your organization that you think might pique my interest, feel free to DM me. Open to any role I am qualified to do!

That’s backward methodologically, and it has disastrous consequences practically.

People attempting to dunk on this post are really just dunking on themselves. Philosophically, the claim is almost self-evident. Scripturally, the case is compelling. Practically, the experience is undeniable.

[Rebecca McLaughlin @RebeccMcLaugh]

The Bible does not give us different virtue lists for men & women.

I would say, "I will die on this hill." But I'm leaving the dying-on-a-hill to the greatest man in all of human history, who described himself as "gentle & lowly" (Matthew 11:29).

The most obvious pitfall here is trying to reason from one’s opinions about gender toward theological anthropology rather than letting foundational commitments about theological anthropology inform one’s thinking about gender.

I’m glad to see so many people beginning to recognize the dangers of the dissident right, especially among Christians, but the fruit has been apparent for a long time. If explicitly pro-Nazi sympathies woke you up to the evil in that camp, good. But that’s just one problem

In a time where there is often more heat than light in SBC dialogue, @TrevinWax brings helpful insight to the conversation, per usual.

[Bart Barber @bartbarber]

Some of you have an open mind…I hope you'll watch this whole video.

Some of you hate my guts…go ahead and watch the video to make fun of my bad videography and the weight I need to lose.

Either way, learn some things about SBC Bylaw 8.

@lukestamps It’s definitely going to come down to prudential considerations on a case-by-case basis. But maybe you could cook up a blog post down the road!

[Ryan E. Modisette @modisetteryan]

@lukestamps One counterpoint here is that sometimes love demands fraternal correction, even when the issue arose apart from you. What principles do you use to determine when weighing in is “worth it?” I feel like I could use some guidance there

[Ryan E. Modisette @modisetteryan]

@colinsmo @kdclaunch @CBMW I don’t think you’ve understood me yet. And that’s fine. But I would encourage you to remember that you don’t stop being a pastor when you jump on social media. Love you, brother! As usual, I’ll keep praying for you and the fam!

[Ryan E. Modisette @modisetteryan]

@colinsmo @kdclaunch @CBMW Colin, you’re a dear brother in Christ. Why are you talking to the crowd instead of talking to me? Yes, I find the review inadequate as written. But you know me. And I would hope you know that I am open to reason. I’m not a Twitter personality

[Ryan E. Modisette @modisetteryan]

@kdclaunch @CBMW She does cite that earlier work, but only to make the point that “only Father language for God points to the way in which the Son came to humanity.” Maybe the audience needs something different, to your point, but I’d rather see a review of this article in this book.

[Ryan E. Modisette @modisetteryan]

@kdclaunch @CBMW I think we’re going to have to agree to disagree about the review. I’m with you that Peeler’s earlier work has issues. But I do think this article is a bit more careful than that earlier work and deserves credit for that.
