Process Video
How I draw a sketch! I spend a little time talking about my process for making the sketches you see here. I should have said so in the video but I use the 12.9 iPad Pro with Apple Pencil and Procreate almost exclusively! If you’re into art process; check it out and let me know…

Jesus is Better
“Jesus is Better” by @zachmaldo is out TODAY! 🥳 I had the pleasure of working on this piece for Zach and seriously; this book is awesome! Personally, I find it easy to get caught up in the rule-keeping and the ceremony of things but Zach really talks about Jesus in a way that is exciting and answers…

Christianity is a Prism
“Christianity is a prism. It’s the light that matters, not the glass.” – @hughcards Almost everything I post here is faith-based but I’d be remiss if I didn’t post voices that have influenced me and helped guide what I do here and how I do it. One of those people is Hugh MacLeod. I ran into…

Reach Out
“What does love have to do with it? EVERYTHING.” – Pastor @jadavisii I had to pleasure to create this sketch for Pastor Davis over at the @verve.pomona for his one year anniversary! I don’t know a lot about being a pastor but by observing a lot of them out in the wild; it seems like a difficult career…

Advice for the Rich
“Anybody who is rich and successful and they’re trying to measure up – just surrender. Give your heart to Christ and let Jesus mold you because that stuff can be here today and gone tomorrow.” @brianheadwelchspeaking at @crsrdschurch I don’t mind revealing that back in the 90’s I was a pretty big Korn fan. Not because of…

Lead like Christ
“Show me a husband who leads like Christ, and I’ll show you a wife who feels loved.” @ryan_fredwith @fiercemarriage Julie and I will have been married 24 years this November which is really exciting but has one really unfortunate drawback; we’ve seen a lot of marriages fall apart. This is stuff is hard. I appreciate all the…

It Is What You Make of It
I hate the phrase “It is what it is” because it doesn’t put me in the position to be humble about what I want to change in the world. @justinmcroberts I’ve become a huge fan of the 10 Minute Bible Talks by @thecrossingcomo – this episode in particular with Justin McRoberts really spoke to me in that…

Make Good Tables
“The Church’s approach to an intelligent carpenter is usually confined to exhorting him not to be drunk and disorderly in his leisure hours, and to come to church on Sundays. What the Church should be telling him is this: that the very first demand that his religion makes upon him is that he should make…

Ready to be Used?
I know @thomasroadwas handing out notebooks but I’m still taking notes on the iPad. Great sermon and I love this quote from Pastor @jonathanfalwell; “what could you accomplish if you were simply ready to be used?”
-
Encourage Fiercely
When you offer critique, do so gently. When you offer encouragement, do so fiercely. @scottsauls — I’ve had a number of Pastor Scott’s tweets in the queue but this one always just sticks with me. If you want to know how to bless someone today just encourage them. Say a really kind thing to someone…
-
Kingdom Normal
This was a tweet from @deaninserra . I had to retool it a bit to fit here and I hope I didn’t misconstrue any of his points! Here’s the original in it’s entirety: —I think part of Christian discipleship is helping people redefine “normal.” The things you see in this world might seem normal, but it is…

Farmers Don’t Build Babels
Maybe we need less language about building something great, and more language about tending the field God gave you. Head down, hand on the plow, eyes on Christ. Because farmers don’t build babels. @sharonhmiller Sharon recently made an appearance here but this quote went so well with the one I posted from Tim Keller yesterday…
-
Social Media Identity and the Church
Could at least some Christians be known for their love on the internet? And could they take part in the rebuilding of new spaces of public discourse in which we can present our faith confidently and listen to our critics carefully and humbly–at the same time? Yes, we could. But will we? @timkellernyc Tim Keller’s…

A Life of Sacrifice
“The Lord has called us not to a Sunday Event, but to a life of sacrifice.” @myronpierce It’s easy to go on Christian autopilot – especially when you go to a large church. You can check the box, attend the Sunday service, pray before meals, tithe right at 10%, and you’re still in the club. I…
-
Loki and Pastor Rich
3 preaching points from Loki (Episode 2) 1. Apocalypses are points of revelation. 2020 is a reminder of this 2. Order ≠ Peace (Order—especially of an institutional kind—is often a tool of oppression & depersonalization). 3. Much of life is oriented around the tyranny of timelines. @richvillodas I was going to wait until next week…

America and Racism
“The idea that America has been systematically racist is an idea entirely compatible with scripture’s depiction of sin. But it’s entirely incompatible with the story America tells itself. And a lot of Christians have believed America.” @kaitlynschiess on Twitter I want to get in the habit here of posting things here that are not necessarily controversial but…

The Task
“If all you do is bring people to your church for a show you’re going to be ineffective. You have to take the missionary task unto yourself.” @mark_clark I really enjoy the @careynieuwhof podcast not just for the people he has on but I feel like it’s a frank discussion about our responsibilities as Christians. While we…

Is it the Gospel?
“You have to be in the Word and not let Sunday morning be the only time you hear the Bible read.” Micheal from the @honestyouthpastor I have to admit, when I first saw that Michael creating “sermon review” videos I was super skeptical. What I thought I was going to get was a guy mocking pastors…

Little Patterns!
“If we’re all using the same language and expectations for clients, then our industry is valued higher and seen as the specialty work it really is!” Maggie Enterrios of @littlepatterns on the @perspectivepodcast This one is more for my creative friends trying to figure out how to navigate the world of professional art! Just to put it out…

Be Doers of the Word
“I’d rather see the way you live first and find out you’re a Christian than hear about your Christianity and find out you’re a fraud.” @jane.elisabeth.lewis I follow Jane on twitter for her thoughts on modern Christianity and culture and this tweet in particular jumped out at me. There are some strong James 1:22-25 vibes here:…
-
Just Obey
Religion says “Obey and you’ll be accepted” but Jesus says “You are already accepted, just obey.” @charlesbillingsley at @thomasroad I knew when Pastor Charles started in with the Hachi story was the moment I was going to start crying in church. 😢 Man – was is it with dog stories? I’m in easier cryer already but when you…

Ephesians 6:10-17
This is the first in a series of posters I’m making reimagining some Biblical concepts. I’ve seen a ton of Armor of God posters but I wanted to make something more in my style so here it is! It’s not based on any kind of historical record but there’s definitely Roman influence in it along…

Everyday
“It get’s easier. Every day, it get’s a little easier. But you gotta do it every day – that’s the hard part.” Running baboon Ok, stay with me here…. This is a quote from a running baboon from the show Bojack Horseman on Netflix. Admittedly, I’ve never seen it. Someone quoted this in reference to…
-
Criticism from Hope
“There is criticism that comes from cynicism, and criticism that comes from hope!” @sharonhmiller I saw this one going around a lot last week and after reflecting on it for a minute it’s so true. I’ve been at that place many times where my criticism was a.) correct and b.) totally not helpful. This should be…

The Problems of Today
We are quick to forget what Jesus did for us yesterday when facing our problems of today! @jonathanfalwell at @thomasroad Pastor Jonathan spoke of the second (and lesser known) feeding of the 4000 from Mark today! There’s a lot of nuance in this sermon which I always find difficult to capture in these things but it was interesting…

Tending the Fire
“Call men to a passionate and sacrificial quest with the odds stacked against us, and you can’t keep us away.” @wolfandiron(Mike Yarbrough) from “Tending the Fire” This is not a book about hunting or sports or beer or whatever things spring to mind when you think about “manliness” or “being a man.” There is a much…

Idols won’t die for you
“Idols won’t die for your sins. They leave that to you.” Matt Smethurst on Twitter I don’t think Matt is here on instagram otherwise I’d tag him. On twitter he’s a treasure trove of thought provoking ideas. More than one sketchy sermon has originated from his feed. 😅

I’m here to be with You.
People have said, “Don’t cry” to other people for years and years, and all it has ever meant is, “I’m too uncomfortable when you show your feelings. Don’t cry.” I’d rather have them say, “Go ahead and cry. I’m here to be with you.” – Mister Rogers There are a ton of Mister Rogers quotes…

Wes Molebash!
“Here are three *seemingly* well-intentioned things I think have severely wounded American Christianity: Right Wing Politics, the satanic panic of the 80’s, Purity Culture of the 90’s.” @thewesmolebash – from twitter Gotta be honest, I was a little nervous to post this one. But here we go! I’ve followed Wes for a while – he was…

1 Timothy 4:13
“Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of scripture, to exhortation, and to teaching.” 1 Tim 4:13 There is SO MUCH amazing content out there. I buy way too many books, subscribe to way too many podcasts, and follow way too many accounts. My watch later list on Youtube is 400+ and growing.…
