The Great Dechurching project has always been about building healthy churches by taking a long look in the mirror. The truth is our friend. With that in mind, @msgwrites and I have created a biblically based, data informed free resource at @TGC for church leaders to close the back door, open the front door, and send out the equipped. pages.thegospelcoalition.org…

The last time FSU won a road game was 1020 days ago. Two presidential administrations and three Christmases ago.

Who’s gonna tell him?
Can anyone tell me why The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was left out of the list of Christian churches?

I don't expect to see many of our Canadian brothers and sisters in church tomorrow, but I know they will be praying hard😂

If anyone wants to think about the implications of discovering non-human intelligent life from a Christian worldview, this book by @AP_Davison is where you need to go.

This is the best thing I’ve listened to all year! Praying for @BenSasse and his family.
In December 2025, former US Senator @BenSasse announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's the primary topic for this @UncKnowledge conversation about mortality, faith, and what truly matters when time is short. Talking to host @P_M_Robinson, Sasse reflects on "redeeming the time"—holding ambition lightly, loving family more deliberately, and resisting the urge to make politics or professional success the center of life. The discussion also covers Sasse's thoughts on the failures of Congress; the dangers of a fragmented, attention-starved republic; the crisis of higher education; and the moral challenges of technological abundance. He speaks candidly and movingly about regret, forgiveness, prayer, and suffering—arguing that while death is a real enemy, it does not get the final word. Watch the full conversation on X:

Demas deserted the gospel for the love of this present age (2 Tim 4:10). Sadly, I think this is what many of the ‘conflict entrepreneurs’ are doing today. Abandoning Christian principles of conflict, reasonableness, and honor, sewing division for clicks, shares, followers, and book deals.

I so appreciate @gavinortlund and the way he can carefully thread the needle through polarizing topics with Christian charitability. The church would benefit greatly from more of this. Here is a great example… youtube.com/watch?v=RsbHLmfl…

You know it was a good sabbatical when you can’t find your computer because you haven’t used it in months.
