Giving the holy family a day off so that another epic Christmas family can pop in and ask: “How is it still Christmas, Todd!?!”

When your book sells out at the bookstore AND you get to reconnect with friends like Ed Stetzer, you know it’s a great day at Urbana 25!

Join me in praying for Ed as he shares tonight about God’s mission to 7,000 students. What an incredible opportunity to make much of Jesus!

Feast day of the #HolyFamily - busting family stereotypes since 1 A.D.
Happy 6th Day of Christmas!

Today is the feast day of the #holyinnocents. In the middle of the festivities, we cannot forget the violence & evil that tries to quell the Light.
Yet, the darkness is overcome.

Happy 3rd Day of Christmas! #12DaysofChristmas

Since #StStephen gave one of the best gospel messages recorded while he was being martyred, I think he would approve of posting this beautiful icon on his #feastday.

Happy 1st Day of Christmas!

What a joy it has been to see old friends, make new friends, eat some of my favorite foods and share about God’s good news for all our intimate relationships. Thank you to everyone who came out! Atlanta, Berry College, Chattanooga, Nashville - these memories still bring me so much joy!

I am headed to Urbana 2025! In just about 2 weeks thousands of young adults will be gathering to grow in their faith, leadership skills, and vision for God's global mission. I am honored to lead a breakout session on the Art of Friendship: How God Changes the World Through Relationships

So for this first Sunday of Advent, I invite you to take a few deep breaths, read this poem slowly and deliberately, lift your eyes and see the others in this open field around you. We are here for #knowingandbeingknown. This Advent, we wait together.

"Rooted and shaken ..." This Advent Season, I invite you to reflect with me. In Advent, we wait, but we wait together. We wait with those who just as broken and beautiful as we are, knowing "only love can quiet the fear of love."

Rejoicing in a minor key It has been a hard year for a lot of people I know. Many of my friends are heading into the holidays on fumes. Grief, loss, anxiety, loneliness, and over-stimulation are just a few ingredients in the ...

“It has been a hard year for a lot of people I know. … It makes sense why Christmas lights and holiday tunes would lift the spirits. And if this is you, I would like to offer the possibility that what your mental and emotional health might really need is Advent.” www.erinfmoniz.com/post/rejoici...

#knowingandbeingknown has been out in the world for 6 months! 🎉🎂
Help us celebrate by recommending it to a friend who needs hope for all their intimate relationships.

I am relieved that this book exists because it is a force of reckoning in this movement of #knowingandbeingknown. And it is a major resource in the pursuit of #theartofadultfriendship.
Let me know if you read it. I want all your thoughts.

Basically, there isn’t another book out there like this. The stories are both familiar & foreign. But their insights demand our attention.
Pushing back the tide of #romanceidolatry is an overwhelming but necessary undertaking for the sake of all our #intimaterelationships.

This #offtheshelf #minireview is a long time coming. I learned about this book while finishing my manuscript. Though I wish I had read it soon enough to include in my own book, honestly, it’s a blessing b/c I might have had to add new chapters to cover the overlap of material.

What if our #intimaterelationships mattered more to our knowing God and the Gospel than we were taught in church?

Remember friends,

There is little you are going through that cannot be helped with a healthy dose of more poetry.

Thus endeth the lesson.

Learning how to drive a Hybrid Jeep Wrangler around the streets of Seattle was not exactly on my “We Can do Hard Things” bingo card, but I’m feeling pretty accomplished.

Today I remembered that Amazon lets me see a running tally of sales for my book.

Cool. A new number to compulsively check that will tell me my worth & value as a human being.

… major concepts like #identity & #freedom.

If you are regularly caring for young adults & teens (having conversations about their #intimaterelationships), I recommend you read this and discern what the voices teach us from across the divide.

… It is equal parts informative, valuable, & disturbing. But it reveals a landscape of values & vices that are forming #emergingadults while critiquing some of the sacred cows of feminism & the sexual revolution. As a Christian and a minister, it is a cheat code for how my students understand …
