What a fun past few days exploring the Museum of the Bible at the Herzog Foundation’s Teacher Retreat in Washington DC, with teaching from Dr. Jonathan Pennington.

I’m working on next year’s preaching calendar for Stone Church in Auburn, WA and couldn’t be more excited about our sermon series on the Nicene Creed over the Summer, especially since it marks the 1700th anniversary!

One of the sweetest gifts I received this year is this portrait of me, painted by one of my 7th graders in art class.

Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible's Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture Christopher Watkin, Timothy Keller Β· Audiobook

I’ve never been one to listen to audiobooks, but I think that’s changing.

It is a nice reprieve from podcasts… kinda feel like it’s more productive in a way, if that even makes sense. Been listening my way through this one…

Looking forward to preaching the Parable of the Sower (Luke 8:4-15) this morning at Stone Church as we continue our series in Advent titled β€œThe Gift of the Kingdom”.

Here are *some* of the resources that I’ve found helpful in preparing.

My wife and I have found so many shows on Apple TV that have been so good. Currently waiting for season 2 of Severance.
