I am a big fan of Steve Hartman & an even bigger fan of my daughter, so I was thrilled to see Hartman’s profile of my daughter’s basketball team & their wild ride during the playoffs. @SteveHartmanCBS

An Oklahoma girls' basketball team thought they won last season's championship game by 1 point. But when they realized there had been a scoring error – and that they actually lost – they chose to give back the trophy. In doing so, they proved true victory comes from integrity,

@bariweiss's @TheFP interview w @amandaknox goes to the deep places. Rather than turn to the more esoteric stock of eastern religion (as Weiss & Knox do), I think the Bible's grounded story-telling makes best sense of the awe that hits them both at the interview's 1:22:00 mark.

40 yrs ago Back to the Future was released; it’s one of my favorite movies so my interest was piqued when a few yrs later my 5th grade teacher claimed he was B2F’s uncredited source. I reflect on this claim & the broader ques of plagiarism here: mbird.com/film/back-to-t…

@WaltRMartin "The Song is Never Done" expresses a longing to make something of lasting value & leave a mark thru song. W/ the help of Tolkien & Xian Scriptures, I make the case that this longing Martin taps into finds resolution in the New Creation christandpopculture.com/walter-martins…

Paul Kingsnorth believes demons may be prowling about in AI tech; when I consider the experiences & concerns of those working w AI alongside what the Scriptures say (esp Isaiah 14), I wonder if he's right: mereorthodoxy.com/ai-and-the-for… @mereorthodoxy

@liel's writing in @firstthingsmag never disappoints! I disagree though w/ his take on the central characters in Oppenheimer & hold a more dire conclusion (one which only adds to the trepidation of a having a bomb that can blow the wrld to bits in our possession). Read here...

@abrahamcho In my experience, prep increases as the minutes preached decrease. As Mark Twain quipped in one of his letters: "Sorry for such a long letter. I didn't have time to write a shorter one."

@ShaiLinne Thanks for posing this ques. It's yielding good fruit for me personally :-) For audiobooks, my faves in recent years are: Daniel Nayeri's Everything Sad Is Untrue; Andre Agassi's autobio, Open; David Grann's Killers of the Flower Moon (Scorsese's movie comes out next month)

A good, quick read by ⁦@jake_meador⁩ Made me think of Dean Kelley’s ‘strictness theory’ which claimed (in 1972) conservative churches grow b/c of the clear & exacting demands place on congregants (esp when compared to liberal churches). theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

A simple edit speaks volumes for the direction of the West, a direction in which Xianity is increasingly sidelined, but a shell of it remains on the field/pitch. How long before the "goods" (not just the core) of Xianity are sidelined, too? Interest piqued.

@derekradney I appreciate this review. Thanks for linking. I am working through BCT now, esp digging the 20th / 21st c. philosophical analysis/insight. I resonate, though, with much of East's critique. Still appreciate the book greatly and what I'm gleaning.

My thoughts on @FavaleAbs excellent book, The Genesis of Gender (@IgnatiusPress). Favale doesn't just speak truth to the sexual & anthropological confusion of our day, she does so lovingly, giving us an example for engaging this important topic ourselves. mereorthodoxy.com/unpacking-the-…

@LondonHatch I like to think of Ch plant’n more like the Moneyball approach to baseball. That is, it’s the aggregate: the planters gifts + core group gifting (of course HS too). I’m hardly a planter type but we planted thanks to the help of the complimentary gifting of those in our ranks.

@LondonHatch I like Carson as straightforward exegetical comment. I have benefitted even more from Newbigin’s exposition (The Light Has Come) & Bruner. Those are my three go-tos on John. If I had to pick one, Bruner’s it, IMO.
