As a Pastor, Finder was my sworn enemy. I built an Obsidian-powered solution and my library no longer costs my sanity to search 🥲

I've been hurt by church people more than by anybody else. And yet, solo discipleship is not a biblical option. I'll give up on the local church when Jesus does and not a second sooner.

False Convert • excited for heaven, bored by the church • excited for heaven, whether or not God is there • likes Jesus, but didn’t sign up for the rest (holiness, suffering) • bothered by others’ sins more than their own • holds grace cheap and their own comfort costly

Pastors, any solid Substacks you would recommend? Or what resources breathe life into you, other than the Bible?

This is amazing. Don’t expect spiritless machines to produce spirit-filled messages.

On the night of Jesus’s arrest, Peter was willing to kill for him but not to die for him. LESSON: There’s a type of counterfeit faithfulness that’s willing to “kill” for Christ, but not willing to die for him. —@howertonjosh

Husband: Each spouse handles conflict with their own family, always. This boundary has saved us over 15-years. Father: Create more traditions. Bonus: The three A’s are integral to healthy relationships: attitude/audience/alternatives

It’s striking how much of the Book of Proverbs can be summarized by the words, “Calm down and shut up.”

Refuse to obey the extrabiblical rules invented by people who refuse to obey the biblical ones.

Pastors, prioritize time with happy members and otherwise “quiet” members. If you spend all your time with disappointed or disgruntled people, you can get a distorted view of your church as full of disappointed, disgruntled people.

The different views in my feed on @HeGetsUs are pretty interesting. Makes me encouraged that I guess I’m following solid pastors with different instincts. My view —> Philippians 1:18

A little Thanksgiving pro tip for next week ... If your family goes around the table saying what they're thankful for, GO FIRST. If you don't, all the good options like "family" or "Jesus," get taken. Then you're stuck being thankful for quality dental care or something.
