ON HOW TO PLANT CHURCHES IN POST-CHRISTENDOM ... join the convo over at fb facebook.com/fitchest/posts…
I SAW 'CIVIL WAR' LAST NIGHT. Three comments. a.) sobering, the U.S. might be headed here, b.) the church needs to be the church amidst political upheaval. c.) I'm looking for my copy of Walter Benjamin's 'Critique of Violence'.
Who does this?
Heresy is best known by its fruits (or lack thereof) born out in community over a longer period of time.

@fitchest They look alike in the same way that you and Jack Nicholson sound alike! Ha
@fitchest I thought it was an incredible commentary on the price we are willing to allow others to pay in pursuit of getting what we desire and defending ourselves with little regard for who’s shooting at us and why.
@fitchest Maybe he's blessed with amazing genetics or, it could just be better living through chemistry.
Happy 36th Birthday to Jonathan Toews #Blackhawks
This important book by @calebphx will be out just in time for Independence Day but you can pre-order it today! bookshop.org/p/books/disarm…
@fitchest ABSOLUTELY! We are gonna sweep those dudes!
I graduated on Saturday with my Doctor of Ministry from @westernsem! Couldn't have done it without so many, but especially the support of my wife, Kelly.
He’s right. Here’s my review equip.org/articles/fear-…
Just finished; reads really well, but hard not to see it as a sociological memoir from someone whose understanding of Christianity was a sort of 90s suburban folk biblicism. Not sure these folks really understand historic Christianity to begin with.
This morning's whole wheat loaves, currently crackling and cooling on the countertop.
The closer we get to the US election, the more we’re going to hear the evangelical “Bonhoeffer Option” that reduces his theology & witness into a raw principle justifying all sorts of expedient and extreme political decisions and reactions, even violence. Don’t give it oxygen.
Loved the convo, David!
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, @PrestonSprinkle and I had a discussion on power, Christian Nationalism, and the way Christians navigate power. theologyintheraw.com/podcast/why-th…
I condemn Russia's war upon Ukraine. I condemn Hamas' attack upon Israel. I condemn Israel's brutal retaliation upon Gaza. But Putin, Hamas, and Netanyahu don't care what I condemn. If I have any voice at all, it is to a certain segment of Christians. And to them I say this:
There’s nothing more gratifying than to hear what you write is actually making a difference in the real world.
Today's episode! Dr. David Fitch is the Betty R. Lindner Chair of Evangelical Theology at Northern Seminary and has pastored for 30 years. His recent book "Reckoning with Power: Why the Church Fails When It's on the Wrong Side of Power" is the main discussion topic. Out now!
@fitchest Reading Andrew Root's book on the church's obsession with youthfulness. US culture and US church culture are way too similar in this regard. "The youth are the future" is fine by me. "Youthfulness is the future" is not.
"Go ahead and vote, just don't expect too much, because the power of government, the way government works, it can only preserve society, it can't save, redeem, tramsform society. That's the power of God through people gathered as his church." @fitchest on @RawTheology
I'm usually a somewhat polarizing writer, so it's been a new thing to have a book reviewed so positively by such a range of people. And it's currently on sale on Amazon for $9.99 in the US, and $16.49 in Australia. US: tinyurl.com/566jd369 Aus: tinyurl.com/bdf6mdfa
