    “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…

    “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…

    The “true foundation” Tim Challies talking about here is the ability to fulfill God’s plan in our everyday lives. 🙌 I’m into productivity books and when productivity and Christianity collide – I am there! This book is a quick read but holds no punches, helps align the proper purpose to get stuff done, and gives…

    I know, there’s a lot going on today. I keep things pretty apolitical here because I really feel like that ground is covered well by many other people who are way more passionate about these things than I am. If you’re in the U.S. – go vote. What I do want to convey today is…
