When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:
“If Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?”
And honestly, I used to ask it with pride like it was some unbeatable argument.
But later I realized something:
That question was not exposing Christianity.
It was exposing my misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be.
Because the real question is not:
“Why would God become weak?”
The real question is:
“What kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?”
Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable.
But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.
And suddenly His humanity stopped feeling like weakness to me.
It became proof of love.
If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.
If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.
If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.
He entered it Himself.
Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh.
Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.
And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves.
That changed everything for me.
Because every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity.
Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.
And no prophet in history ever claimed that.
🚨 OLYMPIAN RYAN LOCHTE: "We started watching these people getting baptized, and something came into me, something so pure."
"I'm going to start crying. It felt so real watching these people get baptized."
"And I asked [my girlfriend], 'What is this?'"
She said, "They're washing away their sins. They're getting a fresh start publicly."
"And I was like, 'Honey, I want that.'"
"And so, I got baptized. I washed away my sins, and trust me, I had a lot!"
"... To put your life in front of God and give it to God has changed everything for me."
"I'm finding who I am."
"I am being a better father, a better person, and I just love the person that I've become now, and I owe it to God."

College football has committed itself to transitioning from being a completely unique and fun alternative to the NFL with its own character to being a shitty NFL knock off that dispenses with all that was great about CFB and replaces it with none of what is great about the NFL
Georgia Head Coach Kirby Smart turns 50 today.
Smart has 2 National Titles, 5 SEC Titles, and 117 wins.
When Nick Saban, Smart's mentor, turned 50, he had 0 National Titles, 1 SEC Title, and 61 wins.

@sweatystartup I quit sharing my location years ago when my wife kept harassing me for not leaving the office on time. This was when I was busting my tail trying to build a business and life for my family. I wasn’t missing anything important. Years later started sharing it again.
