Was an honor to be invited to discuss postliberal political theology with the good men of Sola Media. Was a friendly lions’ den as I was the sole defender. But they are charitable. Good times. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0bY...
Humbled at this response. God is good and his providence is often quite surprising. Grateful this story was able to serve others.
Been in newborn phase for a decade. I get it.
All parties consented. On one side there was pleasure, on the other there was profit. So, what is the problem?
This tragedy, I suggest, is illuminating. It is a symbolic reductio ad absurdum exposing the limits of such a consent-centered, choice-maximizing morality.

In 1991 the share of folks with a graduate degree who definitely believed in miracles:

Some Presbyterian prayers for Thanksgiving Day:
"All that exists is God’s gift to man, and it all exists to make God known to man, to make man’s life communion with God. It is divine love made food, made life for man. ... The world is a fallen world because it has fallen away from the awareness that God is all in all."
May your gratitude overshadow your grievances.

Paraphrasing Schmemann: secularism is a failure of gratitude; a failure to properly recognize the Giver of the goods of this life; instead treating those goods as having life in themselves rather than witnessing to the Source of life—and thus as "sacraments" of communion with Life Himself
Isn’t it great to have Someone to whom to direct your gratitude for all the goods of this life, even the gift of being?

I don’t know how many college kids I talk to who are a mess inside, unsure of who they are, where they’re going, and what they should do. Telling them to go deeper into the chaos to find an answer is a recipe for more anxiety and paralysis.
Yes, I signed up. Should be there but will be a little late.
alright ETS, let’s do this
praying there are no hiccups on the flights so that I can make my talk at 1:50 😬
Ok hi guys
It engages the “sex-realist” feminists, Augustine, Aquinas, Bavinck, Lewis, and more.
For my new followers, check out my most recent essay on “Feminine Courage.” I’m hoping it can provide some inspiration to celebrate and honor the heroic vocation of motherhood and the courageous task of bringing life into this world.
