1 month and 4 days until my sabbatical. I’m so thankful to my church for providing me with the opportunity to reset and rest.

Someone should make a Firefox plugin that automatically blocks any YT shorts that have AI voices reading scripts.

β€œDid you know…”
β€œThis man…”
β€œHave you ever wondered…”

I want videos made by people for people of people.

Lighting design and implementation is no joke. Pros that do this for a living earn their keep!

Freshman year of Bible College I was given the following advice by a professor:

β€œIf you’re studying scripture and come to a conclusion that nobody else has before, it’s most likely because it’s heresy.”

I have two favorite things:

Spending time with my kids.
Spending time away from my kids.

β€œOh that was wonderful!”

β€œAww, thank you!”

β€œYou want to be our pastor?”

β€œI am one of your pastors…”

β€œYes! That’s what I…just…I enjoyed hearing you…it was wonderful!”

β€œThank you, it was good to see you too.”

β€œI mean it, you’ve gotten so much better at this!”

β€œOh?”

β€œWhen you’ve preached before it felt like you were talking to students instead of the church. This time was…I mean…you know it just flowed…”

β€œOk”

β€œPractice isn’t a bad thing. But it was good. Good job.”

β€œOh. Well you should do that more often. You can really see the shape of your face without them.”

I’m an associate pastor. Which means I’m the #youthpastor but with a bunch more responsibility. It also means that adults often don’t know how to talk to me.

So here are some real compliments I have received in the past *from adults in my church* after I have preached on a Sunday morning…

Fellow Christians: what explanations/interpretations have you been taught about the Nephilim (mentioned in Genesis 6:1-4)? #theology #church

I don’t understand commercials. Specifically how people get paid to create these 30 second rage inducers. Looking at you, USAA β€œroomie” ad.

Yes, I apparently enjoy being emotionally bamboozled every season. I didn’t choose them, they chose me.

Currently working on my ministry license thesis with the help of Frame’s Systematic Theology, IVP OT/NT Commentary (Accordance), and CSB and ESV biblical text.

Now to condense my thoughts on β€œwhat is the Church” to a few paragraphs so that it fits within the page limit of the whole paper.
