  • Winter Villodas

    Winter Villodas

    “Jesus doesn’t say to be known by your theology, the way you vote, or your judgementalism but by your love.” Pastor @richvillodas I don’t get to see them all but I’m alway blessed by the services at New Life Fellowship. But when I can combine my desire to draw 90’s style comics with the message of…

  • Under the Sun

    Under the Sun

    “When you know God, you are in the land of the dying; on your way to the land of the living!” @charlesbillingsley This service at @thomasroad is such a blessing to me. Like all Pastor Charles’ messages, I can only capture a little bit of what’s presented but the comparison of the lyrics from songs from the world…

  • Haunted

    Haunted

    “The worst part isn’t the negative interactions with the police. It’s the recurring nightmares that are impossible to forget. A great memory is mostly a gift. Here, it’s a curse. It means you’re constantly haunted.” Pastor @jawn_o No commentary from me on this – please read the entire thread from Pastor John on twitter or here…

  • Nah, I’m Good.

    Nah, I’m Good.

    “We asked people to join the fight against racism and injustice. Instead some started a 5 year fight against their definitions and perceptions of marxism, socialism, et.al. and tried to force us to *prove* our beliefs came from Jesus before they would help. Nah, I’m good.” @esaumccaulley Man…this is haunting. I see it so often; when…

  • Motion Church

    Motion Church

    “If you want to be good enough then you need to be perfect. If you want to be perfect then you need to follow Jesus.” @pastorjasondoran A week ago my family and I found ourselves in Lexington, KY and among the UPS trucks and Amazon fulfillment centers we found @themotionchurch ! Ok, I know there are some 400,000…

  • Emily Mills and the Sketchnote Academy

    Emily Mills and the Sketchnote Academy

    “There is no place for perfectionism in life and that goes especially for your visual notes!” @emily_a_mills I had the really cool opportunity to talk to my internet fried Emily Mills from the @sketchnoteacademy yesterday about…well…sketch notes! There’s a video coming soon and I tried my best to actually look at the camera and not say “right, right”…

  • Count God Worthy

    Count God Worthy

    “How many of us count God worthy enough to be used by Him?” @syyounger 😳 Phew – that’s quite a statement. I know whenever I get that notification that @rampchurchintl is live that I can click over and receive something that’s going to change the way I’m feeling about something that day. Today was no exception. I had…

  • How To Love

    How To Love

    Pastor Jonathan was speaking about the Song of Solomon this past Sunday! I highly recommend heading over to trbc.org to check it out! 🙌 @thomasroad 

  • Disillusionment

    Disillusionment

    “We’ve ignored systemic poverty – we’re so addicted to individual freedom that we often turn a blind eye to the suffering and those without healthcare or financial security and have written it off as a lack of personal responsibility.” -Pastor @brandonacox This is from a thread Pastor Brandon posted on Twitter title “15 reasons I believe…

  • How To Tip

    How To Tip

    “I don’t understand how Christians can say ‘Jesus gave us a gift we don’t deserve and could never earn’ and then tip a dollar because ’The service wasn’t all that great.’” I have a lot to say about this. I could write a literal book called “Christian, tip generously.” I’ve worked jobs multiple times that…

  • Forgive Them

    Forgive Them

    “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

  • Hostility or Hospitality

    Hostility or Hospitality

    “As a Christian, are you known more for your hostility or for your hospitality?” – Pastor @treyvancamp I really appreciated Pastor Trey’s response to the satan shoes on YouTube. I’ve heard a lot of takes and read a lot of comments and they usually fall into the “why are surprised when lost people do lost things?”…

  • Frankenstein!

    Frankenstein!

    Ok, give me a second here. I know this is a Christian account with sermon notes and bible quotes and all that – what in the world is the creature from Frankenstein doing here? I read “Frankenstein: A Guide to Reading & Reflecting” by Dr. @karenswallowprior and it changed the way I think about literature. This book…

  • Wanting the Sacred

    Wanting the Sacred

    “Many of us want the sacred…and we want to mix it with the SECULAR.” – Pastor Joel Tudman Ok, I was introduced to @social_dallas last week and I thought “I’m going to drop in this weekend (virtual and all that) and see what’s going on.” My friends, there was a lot going on. I saw the 3…

  • Right Place, Right Time, Right Purpose

    Right Place, Right Time, Right Purpose

    “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish,…

  • Satan’s Masterpiece

    Satan’s Masterpiece

    “Satan’s true masterpiece is the pharisee not the prostitute.” @pastorfrankgil Ok – this is an old quote from what I can tell but it was so poignant I drew it up on Friday afternoon (which insights tell me is the worst time to post) and put it here because I could wait another second. I saw…

  • Getting Away With Stuff

    Getting Away With Stuff

    “A lot of times we think we are getting away with some stuff. But it’s diminishing the hedge of protection around us.” @pastoreddiev I was listening to the sermon “The Spirit Left” from Pastor Vargas and this line hit hard. We blame the devil for so much (and he has plenty to be blamed for) but…

  • Social Dallas

    Social Dallas

    This one came in as a drawing request for Robert and Taylor Madu and I said “Oh sure, who are they?” Man…I was so naive. I’m been drinking from the @social_dallas firehose since yesterday. What an amazing church!! @robertmadu and @taylormadu seem so genuine and full of joy and the messages are so strong I’ve added ALL OF THEM to my…

  • Legalism and Judgement

    Legalism and Judgement

    “The most legalistic and judgmental people are the one’s with deep secret sins. Trust me.” @pastoremase This quote from Dr. Mason stands on its own. I find the times when I’m the most prideful or judgmental or legalistic tend to be the times when I have something I need to confess or need to right a…

  • No Reserves, No Retreats, No Regrets

    No Reserves, No Retreats, No Regrets

    “What should terrify us is reaching the end of our lives having succeeded in a bunch of things that do not matter.” @charlesbillingsley speaks to how to handle a God-given vision! It’s not an easy road for sure but so much more rewarding! Here are my notes from @thomasroad from this past Sunday! There is so much more…

  • Aussie Dave!

    Aussie Dave!

    “We stream the services to give you a window into our church but to also create a doorway which you can use to enter into community!” Quote 2! “People carry around a pulpit, a collection plate and a worship team in their pocket every day! All we need to do is get in there.” @aussiedave in…

  • Ruth

    Ruth

    “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so…

  • Sketchnotes by ME!

    Sketchnotes by ME!

    I’m going to have the opportunity this weekend to present my version of sketch noting! Making all this stuff has really made me more engaged with Gods word and the larger community that’s out there; I’m hoping I can convey that in my presentation. I’m still learning so it’s really “here’s what I know thus…

  • People Pleasing

    People Pleasing

    People pleasing is not about love. Often it’s about “ME.” It’s about needing to be reciprocated and it is not genuine. @adamaweberon the @crappychristianco This was a hard rabbit trail to go down. I’m a people pleaser and generally I say that as a humble brag as in “I just want everyone to be happy.” It’s really…

  • Worship Warriors

    Worship Warriors

    “Worship Him and take your valley of battle and turn it into a valley of blessing.” Matt Willmington Great sermon today at @thomasroad by Matt Willmington. As a warrior for Christ I often feel like I need to be reminded that these are the tools for our warfare!  Also, powerful worship from guest @meremusic ! 🙌🏼

  • People don’t want you to fix their problems…

    People don’t want you to fix their problems…

    “People don’t want you to fix their problems, they want you to understand their burden.” – Me! Allow myself to draw…myself… I’ve been in a comic writing intensive course for about a month and one of the interesting things to me is how much you need to understand about a character before you start writing…

  • We Are Too Dang Lazy

    We Are Too Dang Lazy

    Ok, @bethmoorelpm on twitter is so challenging. I know people call twitter a dumpster fire but there are some voices on there that are really bringing out some thought-provoking messages. I’m sure she and @livingproofministries are getting flooded right now (I realize I’m adding to the flood 😬) but God bless her and God bless that whole ministry. This…

  • Who Do You Think You Are?

    Who Do You Think You Are?

    “If you don’t know who you are, you will start trying to be everybody else!” Pastor @ronderickhenry I am working on another sketch that had this almost identical quote! I know comedy comes in 3’s but it appears that also does the wisdom rooted in the Lord! 🙌 I headed (virtually) over to Gardena, CA to…

  • Love God Love People

    Love God Love People

    Here’s my sermon notes for @thomasroad today! God bless you all out there!

  • Everything Nostalgic

    Everything Nostalgic

    “I think most people aren’t actually upset with “cancel culture.” They’re conflicted that they, themselves, now have to reconcile something. And, instead of courageously jumping in to grapple with it, they first lash out at the person or the thing that has revealed it.” EJ Gaines Phew, Ok, give me a second on this one!…
