Jesus ascended in the same place he sweat blood. He rose in the place where he was buried. Often the place of our own devastations is where God, in his kindness, arrives with healing, consolation, and victory.

The shameful, juvenile, and abusive online behaviour of so many on the dissident/Christian Nationalist right—including several of their leading figures—is really one of the greatest reasons to give them, their thinking, and their company a very wide berth.

There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics.

Responsible leadership will be required in the days ahead, and we must do more to disincentivize voices of discord, anger and fear.

Prayer is not a hunt for faster and more, a hidden way, towards wealth. It's the confession of fragile, empty hands. It's acceptance. Yet, it's also discovery—a journey into a forgotten homeland. […] a forgotten mother tongue. https://t.co/T3VqaG4Qb9

We are “contingent,” subject to change, fragile as bruised reeds, limited by the beat of a heart, our bodies affected by everything from how much beans we’ve eaten in the last 10 hours to war. https://t.co/T3VqaG4Qb9

Kids in religious families have fared better in the smartphone era, with smaller rises in mental illness. @ZachMRausch and I believe it is primarily due to being anchored in real-world communities with rituals and obligations, low anomie. Thanks @frasernelson...
A surprising result from Jonathan Haidt's research is that religion seems linked to better mental health in young people. It's a rare chink of light in an otherwise bleak picture on the effects of smartphones on teenagers. https://t.co/325B03nR9J
