Why we need professional journalists: @JDVance rep tells @wsj about Anna Kilgore, a Springfield OH woman whose cat went missing in August, so @Kris_Maher drives to her house. She found the cat in her basement and apologized to her Haitian neighbors.

The Putin regime murders political dissidents, slaughters Ukrainian children, holds hostage Russian orphans hostage, and persecutes religious minorities (including evangelical Christians).
Christians, above all people, ought to recognize how anti-Christ all that is.

Pastors,
no Christless sermons, no comedy shows, no therapeutic deism, no political idolatry. Get in that pulpit, in the power of the Holy Spirit, and preach endless treasures available in Christ Jesus!

One of your primary jobs as a leader is the removal of ambiguity. This will put you in a position where you feel like you're often:
1) Repeating yourself
2) Stating the obvious
3) Asking stupid questions
4) Relaying messages
5) Verifying claims
It doesn't matter. Keep doing it.

Three things that will amaze you in heaven:
1. Who is there.
2. Who is not there.
3. That you are there.

Confession: I used to think that I was more biblically and doctrinally sound than most people. Now I see other people like that who feel it’s their mission in life to impose their doctrinal ‘rightness’ on everyone else and it grieves me. If God is so mysterious and so unlike us,

Best way not to become a grouchy old person is not to become a grouchy young person. Or middle-age person. For instance, we Jesus-followers might be more effective at sharing the good news if we weren’t in such a bad mood half the time. Grinch, heal thyself. It’s Christmastime.

Maintaining your reputation through your children is not it. If that becomes it, that becomes a wedge.

An atheist, a MAGA republican, a professor, a pastor, a Muslim, a CEO, a Bernie bro, and a veteran walk in to a park...
And start doing burpees. Welcome to @F3Nation

Political idolatry is so embedded that many followers of Christ could not imagine living their faith outside of their particular political affiliation. The Christian faith has existed long before modern day political categories. And it will exist long after them.

Thing is, we have to really be careful about who we hate. Because 10 times out of 10, it’s going to be somebody Jesus loves. And he has a way of taking it personally.

Advice to young pastors:
Let Jesus love you.
Love Jesus more than ministry.
Deal with your trauma or your trauma will deal with you.
Don't try to be famous, be faithful.
Serve people, don't use people.
Humility is your superpower (Ray Ortland).
Bleed the Word of God.

We’ve each overcome obstacles; whether they are physical, emotional or spiritual. Take time this week to reflect on those triumphs. Feel free to share your stories or simply meditate on those yourself. Reflect on the growth that comes from our trials. We love you men. SYITG
