Parenting in the Parent Blaming Generation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Anything exciting this week?” It was the usual chit-chat that dads do after service, going over the weekly summaries of what had or hadn’t happened recently. As we took turns sharing, one of the dads was detailing his strategy for playing board games with his son so as to keep him from becoming despondent. He explained that he went to such great lengths so that one day, his son “wouldn’t need to go to therapy.” I hear this phrase, or some version of it, all. the. time. (My particular favorite i

Nearly two dozen floors above ground, my smartwatch begins sending a silent but sleep-altering vibration through my body (the ideal alarm for a nearby sleeping child). I slap my wrist to stop the alarm and move my feet to the floor as my joints crack like wooden chopsticks breaking apart. It’s 5:30 on a Saturday morning, and I’m getting ready to run for a very, very long time.I shuffle to the kitchen, careful not to wake mom or baby, push slices of sourdough into the toaster, press brew on the c

After church recently, I was doing my regular ministry meet-n-greet. And I was crushing. “How was your week? Good? Good. Take care now.” “It’s supposed to be 93 on Wednesday! Crazy times.

Underneath that big boisterous personality, you’ll only really give people 15 minutes, and then you ne

As a grad student, my favorite day of the academic year was always when the syllabus dropped. It felt like waiting for a Jay-Z album. I couldn’t wait to get my fingers on that digital PDF. Once it dropped, I’d scroll right through the learning objectives, core requirements, and assignments—couldn’t care less—I was in hot pursuit of my coveted section: required texts. Next, I’d copy and paste every title (including the optional/recommended texts) straight into Amazon, ThriftBooks, and AbeBooks, a
Does God Have Bad Breath? (opens the original)

All discussions of inerrancy lead to one verse: 2 Timothy 3:16. C’mon, say it with me: “All Scripture is God-breathed (theopneustos) and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.”Systematicians, biblical scholars, laypeople, nerds, criminals, children, amphibians, all know this verse. Sure, there are some other good ones out there, but who are we kidding? It’s 2 Timothy 3:16 and John 3:16 all the way. These verses tend to be the exten
