Today is the day! My book, Walking Through Deconstruction: How To Be A Companion In A Crisis Of Faith, is officially out. This is a book for the church, to help them understand deconstruction, lower the temperature, and faithfully love those who are going through it.

Peace in the Middle East. Incredibly historic day. Praise God that everything came together and huge credit to @realDonaldTrump and his admin for pulling it off. Hoping it all holds together now.

Of course, Catholics and Protestants will debate how closely tied those three need to be together at all times, but there is agreement that they all exist together and matter and we should articulate this. You need all three for an orthodox sexual ethic.

Procreation isn't the only purpose of sex. The unitive and symbolic matter just as much. But I don't think we emphasize one at the exclusion of the others and procreative is the one usually left out while the debate happens between unitive and symbolic.

The procreative matters because it highlights the fact that marriage protects a natural relationship ordered toward generating new life that is unique between men and women. The state protects natural relationships and rights; it doesn't create them.

Watching @conservmillen on Surrounded is wild. She does such a great job. These two things stick out to me about it: 1. It’s crazy to me that we’re still hearing “clump of cells” thrown around. Like the funny phrase I saw on here recently, it’s just “musty liberalism”. Surely

Baptist views of government: - It’s not the job of government to coerce belief or decide between right and wrong beliefs. Government has no right over the conscience. The keys of the kingdom are given to the church, not the state. - Christ is the one who separates wheat from

I imagine John wants a more nuanced reading of the Bible, but he does theology by word count. He might want a more literary reading of the Bible, but won’t do basic textual comprehension. He probably wants more readings from marginalized groups, but will ignore the earliest

Page 1 of the Bible has the creation mandate and you’re gonna need that when AI starts taking jobs from a critical percentage of the workforce.

I wasn't expecting the Rerum Novarum shoutout here but I'm here for it.

that in most of the missional literature a glaring omission is the fact that when you have kids in your house, the main “disciples” you are to “make” are them too much missional lit tempts parents to sacrifice their kids for “the mission” parenting is part of the mission

If I say "bitcoin" and you think "crypto" we are not talking about the same thing at all.

98% of the people I follow are not paying attention to this and that just shows how early we are.

Should probably pay attention to bitcoin payments rolling out to the majority of small businesses in the US next month. Soon you really will be able to buy that cup of coffee or a hat in bitcoin and businesses will want you to.
