Imagine you could save your life through one simple, regular act. You wouldn’t always want to do it. Every week you’d come up with multiple excuses. The night before would often be a struggle. Same with the morning before. Every time you finish you feel refreshed, energized,

Sorry @jt_english. I couldn't find your handle for a minute there!

This week, @jenniferwilkin @kyleworley & JT English joined me on the @ConfrontingXnty podcast, which is the reformed evangelical equivalent of hosting the entire cast of friends😜 Enjoy! https://t.co/nqomvd3QqZ

Yesterday, a couple from our church adopted the 8yr who has been living with them as their son for over a year. So much of our church showed up to support them that the judge said we'd broken the record for an adoption hearing. This is what church family looks like in action!

“I thought Christian sexual ethics were ridiculous and repressive.” @RachelGilson's story isn’t about conformity. It’s about clarity, conviction—and meeting Christ.
