Providing Practical Preparation for Ministry

[Jaynay C. @JaynayChanel]

Trauma bonding is used often, and I want to highlight a thing or two.

Trauma bonding is when someone bonds with an abuser in a relationship.

Trauma bonding is not when 2 people share similar trauma stories & connect.

@JonathanMerritt Eewwwweeeee! That’s all.

@roseelliottwrts As a pastor myself (@AmyJacober ) I am so sorry for your pain. I won’t ask you to church now, but if you’re ever in Phx, I’d be honored to grab a cups tea with you! Blessings and healing to you

[Sonoran Theological @sonorantheo]

@jaybakker Oh no... wishing you protection from more trauma. You’d think people would have enough scandals happening or breaking now they could move on.

I’m sorry that I keep having reason to tweet this, but here it is:

I’m a hunter and gun owner who favors universal background checks and commonsense gun law reform.

I always tell Christians they must not be partisan but principled in their voting. And until this election year, I have never endorsed a candidate for President; even while advising, when asked, candidates and presidents of both parties. This time is different.

In 2 Samuel Rizpah protests the unjust murders of her sons for six months and God honors it.

If you don’t think God listens to the cries of those calling out for justice, then you’re not reading the Bible.

Pastors, don’t despair that your online service tomorrow morning will be fruitless & wasted effort. God is using the loaves and fishes to feed the multitudes! Let’s just faithfully give what we can. https://t.co/GDStTtJ8Vw Isaiah 55:11

@trippfuller @TennentsLager Pennsylvania shut down all liquor stores!

[Kate Bowler @KatecBowler]

Could we pray today for those in social services and caregiving roles who are stretched to the limit?

For those serving the elderly and homeless, the mentally fragile and the economically precarious. Families caring for those on the edge.

God, shelter those who shelter others.

If hoarding toilet paper is frustrating, just imagine a world where 1% does the same with wealth.

[Tripp Fuller @trippfuller]

If the Christian theology wants to find the wisdom in
dealing with creation, it must free that belief from the modern anthropocentric view of the world. . . . We do not wish to know so that we can dominate. We desire to know in order to participate. #Moltmann

[Austin Channing Brown @austinchanning]

I wish GenX and older millennials were given more space to talk about the impact of the recession on our lives. Wiped out savings, career paths diverted, homeownership delayed, debt everywhere we turn, the feeling of being perpetually behind what your parents accomplished.

Women have, can, and will preach. The mandate from Christ at the empty tomb makes this clear. #biblical

Religion makes us proud of what we have done. The Gospel makes us proud of what Jesus has done.
