From Nacogdoches to Busch Stadium, the @Cardinals and SFA’s club baseball team have captured the attention of the sports world. ���️🪓
What started as a group of Lumberjacks cheering on the Cardinals during their trip to Illinois for the Club Baseball World Series turned into a viral moment seen across the country, with fans, players and national media embracing the energy and spirit of SFA.
Now, our club baseball team continues their journey in the NCBA World Series with the baseball world watching. It’s a great example of how at SFA, the student experience goes far beyond the classroom and includes opportunities in club and intramural sports that build community, leadership and lifelong memories. 💜

What Twitter doesn’t seem to realize is that the Harry Potter Show is a combination of four big factors.
1. We are far enough away from the OG series that it’s nostalgic; we are in peak late 90s/early 00s nostalgia as we speak.
2. The show is going to include everything from the books; including new ideas. This will interest countless book fans and OG film lovers who felt that the movies left too much out.
3. This is Harry Potter for a brand new generation. The kids who watched those original films are now parents; parents who will be showing this to their kids for the first time.
4. It’s HBO and is being run by the best of the best.
This is the perfect storm, with a Christmas 2026 release date as the cherry on top.
The ratings are going to be historic.
We takes things for granted.
I watched the Bourne Identity in the cinema in 2002. I liked it but at the time I thought it was just a normal, good action movie because this was the standard Hollywood adhered to.
Now that we're in the content-slop Netflix age, I realise movies were truly special and every time Hollywood comes out with another Avengers-quality movie I'm grateful I got to experience the Golden Age of cinema before it died.
Ainda estou anestesiada por ter reassistido, A Sociedade do Anel no cinema, a trilha sonora retumbante, a versão estendida (que eu ainda não tinha assistido) foi tudo tão perfeito que eu só pensava o tempo todo "nunca mais existirá uma obra cinematográfica como essa" 😭
The first Christian was a felon.
Not Peter.
Not Paul.
Not your pastor.
A criminal. Hanging on a cross. Hours from death.
He beat everyone to paradise.
Think about that.
Before the disciples figured out the resurrection.
Before Paul got knocked off his horse.
Before the first church was planted.
Before a single creed was written.
A thief looked at Jesus and said, “Remember me.”
And Jesus said, “Today.”
The first Christian had no church.
No baptism.
No small group.
No Bible study.
No accountability partner.
No 6-week membership class.
He had nails in his wrists and six hours to live.
The first Christian never tithed.
Never served on the worship team.
Never read a single epistle.
Never debated Calvinism vs Arminianism.
Never posted a Bible verse on his timeline.
The first Christian was a convicted criminal who couldn’t lift his hands to pray.
And he’s been in paradise for 2,000 years.
Meanwhile.
You’ve been in church for 20 years.
You’ve read the Bible cover to cover.
You’ve got the theology down cold.
You’ve memorized the Roman Road.
You can articulate penal substitutionary atonement.
And you’re still wondering if that guy who prayed last week really “got it.”
The first Christian didn’t “get it.”
He got HIM.
That’s the difference.
He didn’t understand substitution.
He didn’t understand imputation.
He didn’t understand justification by faith alone.
He understood one thing:
The man next to him was a King.
And he wanted in.
“Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.”
That’s it.
That’s the whole conversion.
No altar call.
No counseling room.
No follow-up email.
Just a criminal, a King, and a request.
And here’s the part that should wreck you:
His theology was WRONG.
“When you come into your kingdom.”
He thought Jesus was about to take an earthly throne.
He didn’t understand the resurrection.
He didn’t understand the ascension.
He didn’t understand the second coming.
He got the timeline completely wrong.
And Jesus saved him anyway.
He didn’t correct his eschatology.
Didn’t hand him a doctrinal statement.
Didn’t say, “Well actually…”
He just said, “Today.”
The first Christian had bad theology and a good King.
Some of you have great theology and no King at all.
You know every doctrine.
You can defend every position.
You’ve won every argument.
And you’ve never once said “remember me” like you meant it.
The first Christian wasn’t impressive.
He was desperate.
And desperation got him further than your diploma.
2,000 years of church history.
Councils. Creeds. Confessions.
Seminaries. Denominations. Debates.
And the first one through the door was a dying criminal who couldn’t even fold his hands.
Makes you wonder if we’ve overcomplicated this.
The first Christian didn’t have a platform.
Didn’t have a following.
Didn’t have a ministry.
Didn’t have a book deal.
Didn’t have a podcast.
He had a cross and a question.
And that was enough.
You scrolling through X right now with your Reformed credentials and your theological hot takes…
The guy who beat you to paradise couldn’t read.
He didn’t know the five solas.
He didn’t know the five points.
He didn’t know the four spiritual laws.
He knew one thing:
He was dying.
And so was Jesus.
And Jesus was still a King.
That’s faith.
Not a system. A surrender.
Not knowledge. Recognition.
Not performance. Desperation.
The first Christian.
A felon.
A failure.
A man with hours to live and nothing to offer.
And he’s been home longer than anyone.
What’s your excuse?

CRYING OF LAUGHTER WATCHING THIS. HE DID THIS ALL DAY LONG.
In the history of football, 471 players have won the World Cup.
Of them, only 80 players have won both the World Cup and the UEFA Champions League.
From this elite group, only 9 players have won the World Cup, the Champions League, and the Ballon d’Or.
Among those, only 2 players have won the World Cup, the Champions League, the Ballon d’Or, and the Golden Boot.
And yet, from all of them, there is only one footballer who has won the World Cup (1), the Champions League (4), the Ballon d’Or (8), the Golden Boot (6), and the World Cup Golden Ball.
Messi joined PSG who had lost the league title and reclaimed it for them.
He then joined Inter Miami who was last in the table and led them to their first ever trophy and their league now.
He also led Argentina to their first ever world cup in 36 years.
This is what a real challenge looks like.
