    “Let me state this very clearly, as clearly as I can, critical race theory is an important discussion and I am all for, as I hope you would be, robust theological discussion about it. For something as important as what biblical justice looks like in the world today, we need careful, robust, Bibles open, on…

  • Rahab

    Rahab

    I heard a few sermons on Rahab in the last couple of weeks; if you don’t know about her I’d check out the book of Joshua!  The harlot, the prostitute – whatever. She became the paragon of virtue and is listed in the lineage of Jesus. What an amazing God we serve. 🙌

  • Not Feeling It Part 2: Depression

    Not Feeling It Part 2: Depression

    “If you are alive you are not done. You are still here because God has something for you to do!” Pastor Ron Frisch I headed over to New Jersey to check out Bridge Church and the “Not Feeling It” series they have right now is ON FIRE. 😳 I am 100% in favor of the…

  • The Revolving Door of Righteousness

    The Revolving Door of Righteousness

    These are my notes from this last Sunday’s service of my home church at Thomas Road Baptist Church. Pastor Jonathan preaching from Judges and laying out how time and time again we mess up but true repentance is turning away from that thing that causes us to stumble. I’ve always loved how Erwin McManus describes…

    Alisa Childers Podcast #96

    “As Bible students, we have to be careful that we don’t read into the text what we want it to say – we have to let the text speak for itself.” @allengparr The thing I really like about podcasts is the feeling that I get to hang out with a couple of interesting people as they…

  • Joshua: The Whole Story

    Joshua: The Whole Story

    I’ve followed Pastor Dean Inserra on twitters for a while and I really have appreciated his perspective on certain things! I wondered over to City Church Tallahassee and caught the Sunday Service on Joshua and it’s awesome! I imagine most churches that are reading through the Bible (like ours) are probably at Joshua right now…

  • Choosing Space for Hobbies

    Choosing Space for Hobbies

    “Choosing Fun, making space for hobbies in your spiritual life is actually going to be a deposit in who you want to be in the long run.” @anniefdowns I’ve sketched a few episodes of the @preachersnsneakers podcast – he interviews some really interesting people and this one was no exception! I’ve got a pile of books to read…

  • Psalm 144:4

    Psalm 144:4

    Man is like a mere breath; His days are like a passing shadow. -Psalm 144:4 I’m constantly struck by how short life here really is. Whenever I think about holding back forgiveness, holding on to anger, or building up my pride I think about how little time I have here and how it shouldn’t be…

  • Looking for Offense

    Looking for Offense

    “The more offense I was picking up, the more exhausted I became.” Jason Ewart I was starting the series “Trigger Happy” from @hopelakecountry and man did this quote pop out at me. It’s so true – both in the finding of offense and the exhaustion of picking it up. I’ll likely sketch out the whole thing but…

  • Where the Healing Begins

    Where the Healing Begins

    This morning I headed over to New Beech Grove Baptist Church over in Newport News and watched guest speaker @revmikeadams deliver a great sermon about reaching around our boundaries and reaching for Jesus. Can’t argue with that! Some great quotes, I couldn’t get them all in here. Thanks for a great sermon Pastor Mike!
