Thankful for dangerous men with the wisdom of a life and ministry faithfully lived.

One of the life’s greatest joys is the discovery of kindred minds: those who share your worldview and who have gone ahead and written on topics that you could would have been interesting in trying a hand at writing and doing it far better than you could have ever dreamed. The resulting sense of camaraderie, humility, respect (especially when the work was written by someone from ages past), and gratitude is one of the most profoundly spiritual experiences I’ve ever had. I’d put O’Donovan there. Lewis too. Wendell Berry. Chesterton. Doug Wilson. Whose work has similarly impacted you?

Also if you’re into ethics and haven’t read Oliver O’Donovan, why are you the way that you are? Have you read him, @Gigi or @allen?

Prep for next week’s @Thank God For Nostr Podcast with @hodlbod continues… Who’s read McLuhan?

From this day forward I will post twice on #Nostr for every one post on Twitter. Hold me to it friends.

If you can’t imagine a scenario in which you’re willing to do this, you don’t love anyone but yourself.

I asked Grok to imagine Donald Trump replacing Jim James as the lead singer of My Morning Jacket. The result was incredible.

“…as government is beginning to frankly break down on a number of its core responsibilities, we ought to be thinking in terms of developing alternative institutions, resilient communities, resilient families (all anchored in churches by the way), to see to it that we can effectively carry out our dominion mandate..." - Dr. Glenn Sunshine at #TGFB24

Looking for a watercolor artist for a kids book project. Anybody have recommendations?

All things in moderation. You should definitely drink wine once a week. On Sunday. View quoted note →

Thank God for @hodlbod and for the @Thank God For Nostr Podcast.

“The continual voice which tells you that your best actions are secretly filled with subtle self-regard, and your best prayers still wholly egocentric—must for the most part be simply disregarded—as one disregards the impulse to keep on looking under the bandage to see whether the cut is healing. If you are always fidgeting with the bandage, it never will. A text you should keep much in mind is I John iii, 20: “If our heart condemns us God is greater than our heart.” I sometimes pray “Lord give me no more and no less self-knowledge than I can at this moment make a good use of. Remember He is the artist and you are only the picture. You can’t see it. So quietly submit to be painted–i.e. keep on fulfilling all the obvious duties of your station, asking forgiveness for each failure and then leaving it alone. You are in the right way. Walk—don’t keep on looking at it.” —C.S. Lewis in a letter to a man struggling with “excessive selfness” (the man’s own words). Also called “morbid introspection” or perhaps even scrupulosity.

Rudy Giuliani’s career arc should put the fear of God into @nayibbukele.

Christians shouldn’t confuse a #Bitcoin’s price with its value for the same reason they shouldn’t confuse a #Bible’s price with its value.
