I often say that I’ve always been a pastor of my community, not just my congregation. For San Marco, I know some of that will be working to restore relationships in the community. I’m here for it for the long haul, as is SJPC.

So, I saw the gov make a big deal about the hurricane’s name somewhere. Are people still up in arms with the “this aint what I know” dog whistles? Like, the dude looked more unc than anti woke (did i use that right?) Just say the name, bro.

Also: for anyone who is still following… if any politician is claiming God is on their side, run away. Because that’s when God becomes an object for persuasion and not what God actually is. As much as I appreciate a good mustache.

Sad to hear the Skyway is closing. I have fond memories of taking my kids on it. We can be a creative city, provided we don’t become parochial and pander for partisan points.

Man, I’ve not been on TwitterX for a minute, and this is the BEST news I’ve heard today.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has suspended the use of Flock cameras effective immediately.

Also - I’d love Ben Folds to play in Jacksonville. What’s a guy gotta do to make that happen?!

Jesus breaks the rules.

Let “war of choice” sit with you for a moment. Because last I knew, the allegiance isn’t with the nation, it’s with the Savior. And death is no commodity.

I wonder if God looks at all of y’all in your big boy power eras and just thinks “you are David with an algorithm.” Not that I got a direct line, but I do. Sweet summer children.

I am so tired of folks claiming Jesus Christ as if it was venture capital. God will cut your shit down and your spiritual balance sheet will BEG for universalism.

Why you keep losing things — AirTags, 'refrigerator blindness' and the invisible gorilla experiment. Maybe Advent can offer us a way to find what we're looking for?

The religious world is built on transactions: give, serve, stay, and get proof that you matter. But Jesus unveils what cannot carry God’s future. Resurrection can’t grow in transactional soil. #Faith #Resurrection
