I'm grateful to see this by the Dodgers. This ongoing overboard operation causing terror to so many must be stopped. It looks far too much like the 1930-40s Germany and the 1950-80s USSR. This is not the way.

Simple. When young Robert is a toddler, you place a toy boat and a tub of water out and then hide. If he takes the boat and runs off with it, he's a Rob. If he puts the boat in the tub of water, he's a Bob. #science

On behalf of authors and publishers everywhere, once again we kindly and gently ask you to review the book itself when leaving a review, not to review the seller. That last part can be taken up with customer service. But thanks for reading my book!

Why Is It So Hard to Disciple My Kids? Do you struggle to help your kids think and react like Jesus? You're not alone. Thankfully, discipleship isn't as complicated as you think.

Appreciate the opportunity to write an article on the struggle of family discipleship for The Monday Christian.

Pro tip: Having just returned from the grocery store, might I suggest that for Easter instead of dying eggs, you dye gold bars instead to save a little money.

Someone else used my microwave in the break room. Like he couldn't use one of the other THREE available.

As a publisher and editor, I can relate to your editor receiving a clean manuscript to work from! Good job making your editor happy and more importantly, starting with better bones for a wonderful book.

As a Bible associate publisher, I don't have much authority...BUT one thing I can do is be sure that all our concordances include an entry for "baldy." Just don't mind me doing the Lord's work over here.

Buying a corner lot home sure seemed like a good idea 10 years ago when we looked at it...in the late summer...without snow on the sidewalk.

Kids Ministry Reading List TLDR: A list of books to consider reading if youโ€™re in kids ministry.

Just finished "Keeping Your Children's Ministry On Mission" by @JaredSKennedy and immediately added it to my kids ministry recommended reading list. Great balance of theological heftiness and practical wisdom.

As Christmas draws close, it's the perfect time to disciple our kids that Jesus didn't come only to provide salvation from sin; he also came to show how we're to live as God's image bearers. This is a big part of "Family Discipleship that Works" @ivpress.bsky.social

Excited to see that the second season of Severance is coming on Apple TV in January. Waiting this long for a second season after the 2022 season 1 is quite brilliant. We are experiencing the show in real life, being separated from our memories of Season 1.

Glad you found it. The first 35 tracks was a playlist I didn't make to get it started. Then, I added some of my staples. Since, I add a score when I hear it and like it. I want to find time to organize it and remove a few spots I'm not as fond of.

This is what happens when you listen to a 141-hr-long film score Spotify playlist every day while you work.
