The “church attendance” problem comes in a different article. For now, here’s a few ideas on how to leverage sports missionally if you’re a ministry leader…appreciate the collaboration with @BrianSmithAIA and @tgc thegospelcoalition.org/artic…

Evangelical Christianity in the United States is often characterized by a deep desire to have “Christianity” pervade our culture but not have Christ permeate our being.

Some people want to live in an echo chamber where they only read or reference people that they agree with 100%. Maybe they’re afraid they’ll be weakened by contradicting ideas. I refuse to live in such a small world.
Read widely.
Think critically.
Live charitably.

If you read "Faultlines" also read my good friend @Uszynski32's book "Untangling Critical Race Theory" and @JoelMcDurmon's book "The Problem of Slavery in Christian America"
Read holistically and not just in an echo-chamber

These Tigers-Guardians games have been fun. Can’t wait until they play again next week somehow.
Quite certain this 5 minutes could be read by workers in any number of organizations…so refreshingly on point

I’m thankful for the renewed interest in making sure our thoughts about sports are taken captive to obey Christ. Check out this helpful book by @BrianSmithAIA & @Uszynski32

Sports can provide an opportunity for character development and living out our Christian values even when it’s hard, according to @Uszynski32.

Should we be encouraging our kids to play youth sports? Are there lessons they can learn from being on a team, or are we just reliving our “glory days?”

Sports are life with the volume turned up. It’s play that excites deep emotions and exposes hidden insecurities. A new book by @BrianSmithAIA and @Uszynski32 helps parents navigate it all. hubs.ly/Q03tYRlf0

"Sports can build character if you have the right middle person to teach the lessons."
A Christian parent's guide to navigating youth sports is our discussion on today's Get in the Game podcast with Scott Linebrink and guests @BrianSmithAIA and Ed Uszynski @Uszynski32

"The perspectives in this book can be a gift to white evangelicals … if they will receive them."

Here's a really thoughtful take on my book Untangling CRT by Dr. Paul Thompson for The Gospel Coalition's theological and religious studies journal: thegospelcoalition.org/theme…
Forgiveness in the face of great evil never makes any human sense, but it’s especially incomprehensible among people living in a culture that specializes in “othering,” disdain, and revenge…

I think it’s hilarious how the pop media covers the Oscars like it’s a wholesome, unifying, all-American, cultural experience without ever mentioning that the bulk of nominated movies have become niche, boutique, transgressive, and often pervy fare that most Americans haven’t seen — and have no desire to watch.
