Love so amazing, so divine. Demands my soul, my life, my all.

🧵In view of some semi-viral tweets over the w/end re. women in theological edu, below are a few more thoughts, this time grounded (albeit briefly) in Scripture & history: Here we go:
It should be clear from the way Jesus treated women (e.g., Mary & Martha, Luke 10:38–42)... /1

What's so good about Christianity? Why do you believe?

@TheAlanNoble Our church had a wonderful book discussion of it last night. Really grateful for your work.

When you are childless, not by choice, the realization of this reality takes years.

But confronting the later, consequential fact that you will also not have grandchildren takes only an instant.

People who accidentally found their doppelgängers in museums - a thread 🧵

Today, we'll hear sermons and read posts about God on a donkey, the path of humility and powerlessness. It's a good word. It's a needed word, especially when our leaders are so intoxicated with power.

But absent a deep interiorization of this way of humility and metabolization of our own sufferings, we'll speak truthful words without truth in our inmost being.

Absent the cultivation of humility and the abandonment of well-worn strategies of self-protection, we'll live in a kind of nostalgic embrace of an idea and not in its beautiful and painful reality.

This was the hardest passage to write in #TheEvangelicalImagination because it was so personal. But it’s not just personal. It’s for all who claim to follow Christ. And that includes institutions who claim his name.

Whole generations of adults were lost to institutionalization. They were warehoused, hidden away, forgotten. So many of us colluded in their erasure.

This piece is my small attempt to un-erase one of them. 8/8

I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve read Charlotte’s Web, but Grady, Eva, and I are wrapping up their first time through ahead of the school year. The crickets are warning us too…

These words from Wendell Berry keep coming up for me:

“No matter how much one may love the world as a whole, one can live fully in it only by living responsibly in some small part of it.”
