Worship music hot take: “Used to This” by @elevation_wrshp and @MavCityMusic is the kinda worship song @rascalflatts should cover. Sounds like @GaryLevox style. #newmusicmonday

Hey PSA: Being vaccinated does NOT mean you can join up with 8 of your closest friends for a hiking trip just so you can throw a metal souvenir into some evil volcano.

PASTORS IN A PANDEMIC
{A thread}
Everyone has had a truly difficult year and the past 12 months have been brutal, refining and unpredictable. From my perspective, I’ve seen how it’s affected pastors emotionally, mentally and professionally.
Only 30% of non-Christians have a positive reaction when they see people post things about their Christian faith on social media. bit.ly/37Ul194 via @cnieuwhof

The last year has been really tough on all of us. A few things that have helped me . . .
1. Regular exercise
2. Reading books
3. Cooking meals at home
4. Fresh air & sunshine
5. Less social media
6. Going to church
7. Prayer & the Bible
8. Earlier bedtime
9. Time w/ my family – at Anderson, SC

Seven years ago I sat in a hospital as the doctor uttered those words, ‘I’m sorry, there’s no heartbeat’. Today I started my PhD in stillbirth/preterm research at that same hospital... because a mother’s love never dies. #ForAurora
Jesus’s model prayer (The Lord’s Prayer) is a MISSIONAL prayer:
“Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.”

The truth is not intended to change your head. It was intended to change your heart. #wearegracechurch
ME: (dreamily) Hey babe, what’s the desire of your heart? 😘
AMANDA: (exasperated)Oh my gosh, Ben! Not everything is connected to my heart. 🙄
ME: Well, “the heart of a man is a deep, deep well.”😌
AMANDA: Yeah, and “it’s deceitful above all things,” too.
ME:...

I’m thankful that in my most early days of faith, God did not withhold part of Himself or His heart from me even though I misunderstood a lot about who He was.
He’s still as generous in this way today.
It is nothing short of sacred to see my dad at the end of his life and unable to speak, mouth the words as I sing and play the guitar:
“Knowing You, Jesus, Knowing you
There is no greater thing.”

Amanda: How’d you sleep?
Me: Well, I think...dreamed about something...Can’t remember much except that there was action, there was peril, and there was @Clayton_king in it.
