Your primary identity as a Christian is that you are dearly loved by God. That reality should drive everything else you do! (Jn. 15:9)

If you’re working on breakthrough technologies, I want to see you on June 27 — not for a pitch or demo, but for a deep conversation on how to use the power of creation to improve the human condition and honor God’s plan for us.

Technologists know there’s a difference between what you can build, and what you should build.

As tech accelerates, the stakes for getting it right are only getting higher. Just a few key questions:
- what does it mean to have wisdom in what we create?
- how do we co-create as subordinate players in His plan for us?
- are we letting technology become an idol?

On June 27 I’ll be giving a talk at Epic Church on the topic of God and Technology. I don’t think any of us fully has the answers to these questions, so it’ll be more of a conversation as we delve into tough topics together. Or, if you do have the answers, you should definitely come and share with the class 😂 Details below!

Truly baffled (and flattered) that so many of you have registered. We are approaching capacity, so if you want to make sure you get a seat, register quick! 🙏

For those of you that asked if we are going to livestream or record, hang tight please. Going to see if we can make that work.

Because God loves me and accepts me, I do not have to do things just to build up my résumé.

There is a direct relationship between a person’s grasp and experience of God’s grace, and his or her heart for justice and the poor.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

The Lord’s Prayer tells you, in a nutshell, what you should pray; but it’s the book of Psalms that teaches you how to pray.

The world wants a man who believes he is powerful because of his own strength. God wants a man who knows he's powerless without His strength. #TheFatherEffect https://t.co/9jWd0q2s0K

From @timkellernyc talking about fundamentalism and evangelicalism.

….whoever responds to this division with truth, tears, and grace will be the one more reflective of the Savior….The side that behaves the most graciously will flourish the most…
