Donny Friederichsen on Scripture
“Albert Schweitzer, at the end of his critique of the ‘Quest for the Historical Jesus’ in the late 19th-early 20th c., came to the conclusion that the historical Jesus always bore an uncanny resemblance to the researcher. Point being, once you rip Jesus from the written word of Scripture, you get a Jesus that always…

Mary Marantz on Authors
“There is a tendency for people to want to write books but not be authors. The difference between the two is whether you are originating new ideas or just taking a bunch of inspiring things out there and calling them your own.” @marymarantz on the The Call to Mastery with @jordanraynor I’ve illustrated a few quotes from…

Nikolaus Zinzendorf on your own quiet faith
“Remember, you must never use your position to lord it over the heathen. Instead, you must humble yourself and earn their respect through your own quiet faith and the power of the Holy Spirit. The missionary must seek nothing for themselves. You must be content to suffer, die, and be forgotten.” Nikolaus Zinzendorf – German…

Matt Chandler on what is noble and good
“I think so many of the problems, including a lack of power in evangelicalism, is directly tied to the state of Biblical illiteracy and the belief that the Bible was given to guys like me to explain to you.” “We live in an environment that’s charged and you can refuse to participate in the outrage…

Olivia Munn-Shirsath on Greatness
“Our Master came to serve and He entreats us to do the same. The more authority you hold on this earth; the greater the impetus to serve. You want to be great? You want to be influential? Your want to be a leader in your home? Become a slave to all.” @oliviamunnshirsath from @churchofthecitynewyork talking about Mark 10:42-45…

Carey Nieuwhof on Winning
“Winning at work while you’re losing at home means you’re losing. Period.” @careynieuwhof from “At Your Best” I haven’t read Carey’s new book yet (it’s arriving today!) but I’m all for a positive, Christ-centered approach to handling our lives and our businesses in a way that honors Him and our families at the expense to explosive…

Derrick DeLain on going to the Source
“Oftentimes we have our own beliefs about who Jesus is. My hope is that we would put aside what we believe and actually go to the source; see what Jesus says about Himself, and let that determine what we believe.” @d_delain from the sermon “I Am” from @proclamation_tn I try to listen to A LOT of different…

Ed Stetzer on Cable News
“If cable news is keeping you from unity with your brothers and sisters in Christ, turn it off, unplug it, unsubscribe from it, and prioritize your church over cable.” @edstetzer on twitter I think the thing to keep in mind here is the phrase “cable news” and not politics. I don’t shy away from talking to…

Dan White Jr. and those Ragamuffin Christians
Consumerism turned the Church into a service provider: “I want good preaching.”“I want amazing worship.”“I want great kid’s programs.” Would we go to Church if it was just a bunch of ragamuffin Jesus-followers gathering around a table, trying to love God and love neighbors? Pastor Dan White Jr. on twitter I just want to say,…

Viral Jesus and the Christian Platform
“I like to encourage people to lean into the opportunities that do come your way. Your gifts will make your way for you. The angst comes from what you are called to do versus what the world is asking you to do.” @karenswallowprior and @heatherthompsonday on the Viral Jesus Podcast I feel like I find new podcasts *daily.*…

Pete Scazzero on Assumptions
“Every time I make an assumption about someone without confirming it, I am at risk for believing a lie about this person.” @petescazzero This is from a screenshot I’ve had in the *folder of ideas* for a long time. It’s interesting because this quote can kinda go in both directions; I read it meaning not…

Jon Acuff on Regrets
“Regret that you didn’t start your thing earlier is a great distraction from starting it now. Those years are gone. Leave them where they fell and grab today with all your might. Mourning what could have been always steals the joy from what is.” @jonacuff on Twitter Hey – it’s been a month or so since…

The Sketch Effect!
“With sketchnoting, I realized that I remembered more from my meetings and when I shared the sketches, people were more engaged with my ideas.” William C. Warren (with Alejo Porras) from @thesketcheffect I sometimes get asked how I got into creating sketchnotes and what I usually say involves a long and rambling diatribe about me drawing…

Propaganda!
“If we take the same bad habits to a new place; we are just going to do to the new place what we did to the old place.” @prophiphop I was really fortunate to get a ticket to @mediaarts_au recent conference; CONNECT21 and this sketch is from a conversation Dave Adamson had with Propaganda. Interestingly it started…

Charles Spurgeon and the Church
“The church is not perfect, but woe to the man who finds pleasure in pointing out her imperfections. Christ loved his church, and let us do the same.” Charles Spurgeon You might think I’m talking about the Mars Hill podcast (and I am!) but hear me out first… I’m not calling out the podcast directly.…

In Memoriam
I just wanted to take a moment to remember the 13 service members killed at the airport in Kabul. I know the official count of all military personnel killed in Afghanistan is 2420 and if possible, I would draw them all.

Tim Parsons – Closer to Jesus
“What if we all felt ownership of the mission to take everyone we meet one step closer to becoming disciples of Jesus?” Pastor Tim Parsons of @centerpointchurch Unfortunately I’m bringing this sketch to you posthumously as Pastor Tim passed away early last week. I didn’t know him but on hearing the news I went to Center…

How to Sketchnote!
This is a walk-through about what I’m thinking about and how I approach sketchnoting! I don’t talk about technique so much but it’s rather more about mindset and approach. And I learned how to make audio sync up so that’s a new thing for my videos here! 😅 Special thanks to https://instagram.com/walkingwitness for the shirt;…

Dan Dewitt on Fundamentalism and Liberalism
“Both liberalism and fundamentalism are never satisfied. They will always demand more. It will never be enough. If you live for them, prepare to be unhappy.” Dan Dewitt from twitter I think I’ve talked about this here before but my wife and I used to be “raw food vegans.” It wasn’t a diet – it…

Ashley Abercrombie on Language
“Language is a seed that germinates inside the darkness of our hearts and minds. It will bear fruit at some point: rotten, bitter, nourishing, or sweet.” Ashley Abercrombie from “Love is the Resistance” I really enjoy Ashley’s page so when she announced that she had a book coming out I preordered it pretty quickly. Having…

Hosanna Wong on the work
“God is not calling people to get an A+. He’s calling people to say ‘yes.’ The hardest work has already been finished.” Hosanna Wong on the Worship Leader Probs podcast. I had this quote in my head the entire time I was drawing this. Sometimes I board the struggle bus when making these things and…

Steve Carter on Character
“Sometimes, success can take you places where character cannot sustain you.” Steve Carter talking to Carey Nieuwhof on YouTube! OK, Steve quoted Dave Chappelle saying this quote but I thought it was so relevant that I drew it here! I know nothing about full-time paid ministry. Other than serving in the church in various volunteer…

Andy Crouch on Culture
“If we are known mostly for our ability to poke holes in every human project, we will probably not be known as people who bear the hope and mercy of God.” @ahcpix from Culture Making One pitfall I run into here is that I stumble on an author and not only are they prolific but the…

Tim Keller on Ministry and Marriage
“No form of ministry is more important than my marriage and family.” Tim Keller from Twitter. I’m not “in ministry.” I haven’t experienced the stress and the problems and the loneliness that a lot of people experience while trying to serve their calling from the Lord. I don’t support my family from sketchy sermons money…

Patrick Miller on Who the music points to 👆
“He’s the one the music points to. Music always points beyond itself to the creator, to the orderer!” @patrickkeithmiller at @thecrossingcomo This one came up *unexpectedly* on my feed and it was an interesting look into the idea that there’s something beautiful and mathematical in music that points directly to God the creator. I’m not a big…

Eliud Kipchoge wins Olympic Gold
“Only the disciplined ones in life are free. If you are undisciplined, you are a slave to your moods and passions.” @kipchogeeliud Like most of the running world I am obsessed with Eliud Kipchoge. Not only is he amazing athlete but he’s a wellspring of encouragement and a testament to the absolute insane things these…

Patrick Linnell Drops a Grace Bomb
“For the Christ follower, there are no racial or cultural reasons to withhold grace from anyone, because everyone is one faith step away from becoming a spiritual brother or sister in Christ – a bond that runs deeper than blood.” Patrick Linnell from @grace.bomb I heard Pastor Linnell speak with Blake over on the @crappychristiancopodcast and was…

Pastoral Burnout
“A fast way to pastoral burnout is to only read the Bible for the purpose of preaching.” @darrell_w_johnson I’m not a pastor BUT this quote really spoke to me as someone who creates content. I’ve said before I have to check my heart before I post because there are times where I find myself venturing down…

Beloved Image Bearer
“If your thought when seeing a woman in a bikini is, “she dresses like a whore”; your mind is in need of greater sanctification than that woman. Jesus had actual prostitutes washing his feet & his thought was *beloved image bearer*.” @kylejhoward_ There’s a backstory to this and if you spend any time on twitter you’re…

An Unbelieving World
“The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians: who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” -Brennan Manning This may be totally anecdotal but most of the people I’ve encountered who have sworn off…
