I am thrilled to share this beautiful cover by @ivpress for my forthcoming book about Christian hope in the "wilderness" of life as we now know it. And I'm hugely grateful to @esaumccaulley for writing the foreword! Preorder link in comments.
The gospel is paradoxical: it asks the impossible of us. Then it makes the impossible possible. Can we forgive our enemies? No, and yes.
These are wise words. Also they will hopefully make you laugh (and then put down your spatula)

Two thoughts:
-though DJT is not known for his honesty, I appreciate it here ("I could not forgive my enemies").
-Corrie Ten Boom once said the same thing of a German soldier who'd tortured her & her sister in a concentration camp. Then she described God's power at work in her.
Until at least the end of 2026, I’m only checking social media 3 days/week. This is not a humble brag but an admission of the mental and emotional toll that I really don’t want the internet to take from my life. I look forward to reading all your comments later!
I want to know if Christians (or people?) anywhere are boycotting or consciously abstaining from AI use in any intentional way.
I feel like Holy Post would be a very fun place to work.
We’re hiring at HPM!
We’re looking for a Director of Marketing to lead our marketing efforts and an Operations and Audience Support Specialist to help things run smoothly and serve the people engaging with our work. Both roles support our mission of helping people more faithfully follow Jesus. Interested, or know someone who might be a great fit?

Last year I felt a repeated urge to pray for a specific woman in an adult industry whose name I’d seen in a few headlines. Just learned she was recently baptized. Sometimes we're nudged to pray for strangers b/c God is at work in their lives & is recruiting us.
Hot take/theory about midterm results: the one thing all Americans are united about is the economy. Thoughts?
“Christ is present in all Churches. Search and you will find. This is what matters most.” -Orthodox monk Lev Gillet
Related: I need more theological works by Orthodox authors. I have Schmemann but what else should I read? #ecumenicalmonday
My faith has been enriched by Protestant, Roman Catholic & Orthodox Christians. I grow as a dialogue partner when I read original sources & connect those sources w/ real people who represent the various views— I’m less likely to caricature people that way. #ecumenicalmonday
All adult ministers should teach kids from time to time. Because:
a) We need to remember that kids and youth aren’t “beneath” anyone’s time, talent, or education
b) If you can’t explain something to a child, there’s a decent chance you don’t understand it yet yourself.
I am not anti-Halloween, but I don't like that it has become the seemingly singular outlet for our curiosity about death and graves. I wrote about how it has not always been this way for @CTmagazine

"Eat this bread," Jesus said. "Great!" They responded.
"Eat my flesh," Jesus said. "We're out," they responded.
As impressive as Jesus' ministry was, people still walked away when he told them the truth. It's a good reminder that the call of Christ has never been palatable.
The world is full of sad and terrible things. But also, good and beautiful ones that are worth celebrating. Today is my daughter's 5th birthday and she helped me make cupcakes. Enjoying the gift of her makes me want to love the world more and make it better for her.
Confession: up to 2/3rds of the time I start to write something (essay, chapter, etc.) I think, “I am not sure I’ll pull it off this time. I don’t know if I can finish this.”
Then, I keep going.
Not sure who needs to be reminded today: reality is more complex than we like to pretend it is on social media. So read long form and write it and don’t forget to actually go outside and look around some too.
Today, a little boy who lives across the street from me asked me if I would baptize him. Then he asked me to read Bible stories to him. I could not dream this stuff up.
