To be fair, they’re all Christmas albums. Music is crammed with our anticipation and longing and hope. All these sounds practice longing and resolution.

#RoshHashanah starts tonight, and for many, it will be the first big Chag without a loved one. Even if it’s not the first, grief seems sharper around this time. If you know someone pained, please reach out and let them know you’re thinking of them. It’s a mitzvah. 💜

Was reminded this week of the resources/discussions @Pepperdine has had over the last decade about how to draw from the rich resources of our heritage in the Churches of Christ while shifting to an ecumenically minded open table 🧵

Fifty years ago today, the Church of Christ of Malibu met in Elkins Auditorium for the first time.
In honor of the anniversary, here's a thread on the history of that congregation and the relationship between Pepperdine and the churches of Christ (CoC) more generally. 🧵

Well, the good news is you haven't met yet everyone who will love you.
Good night. Be brave and kind.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.

I don’t want a dull corporate job, I want to be the protagonist of a Studio Ghibli film who follows a cat into a mysterious antiques shop where I sing a duet with a cute musician and slowly fall in love.

“Even though the weight of suffering does not feel temporary or light, the weight of glory is much stronger.
I’m not an escapist, I’m a liberationist. I don’t want to escape what God created, but liberate it though the resurrection of Jesus.”

In his book Becoming What We Sing @lemdavely explains how, “Models of prayer in the N. T. illustrate the reorientation of the speaker in the social reality of the kingdom of God.” After shouting Amen! I want to add that the Psalms continue to provide the vocab for these prayers.

“The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly.” - Søren Kierkegaard
