Anybody else out there thinking we need #Lent, like now? Not trying to skip Advent - that will be meaningful, but, you know what I mean right?

@shinyribs.bsky.social listening tonight for the first time. So happy, and wish it hadn’t taken us this long to discover. Listening to Margo led us to you. Your sound is 👨🏼‍🍳💋

This might be worth cracking open the Muhlenberg whiskey. I’m sad about this. For all the reasons.

Thanks Dave and Dalton. “a resurrection church that follows a resurrected savior should be a balm, not a blowtorch.”

💯 “Love everybody” probably is trolling to some. Unfortunately. All the way back to the OT though, God is love and tells us to love. Bottom line. We can build a church on that! #HappyEaster

I’m not a lectionary preacher on the reg, but I decided to preach it this week, 7th Sunday after Epiphany, and well, there sat Psalm 37:1-11,39-40 just waiting for us. Thank you. Lord. See y’all Sunday!

Why is it ok for politicians to make declarative religious statements but not ok for pastors to get political?

Pointless post: @stephencolbert.bsky.social from his show last night, “Miller High Life is making a cologne. Cool. Maybe when they are done, they can try making beer.” 🤡

How’s this: The flood of music, decorating, etc. *is* the prep done in anticipation of the arrival of Christ. Like getting your house ready when a long awaited loved one is coming home.

The United Methodist Council of Bishops has released a Pastoral Letter in response to the United States elections earlier this week.

"Our baptismal vows call us “to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves.” We therefore reject rhetoric, policies, and actions that demean or discriminate against any of God's children...” #UMC

Preaching the dry bones of Ezekiel this Sunday. The communal nature of the Xian faith is top of mind. And the problematic aspects of predominant “personal savior” thinking and language.

First post. I would like to elevate the conversation, however, I offer this: based on reliability of output, are the way finding map apps and the weather forecast apps run by the same people? 🙄
