This placing on the wife the responsibility of her husband’s faithfulness by being his own personal p-rn star (& in the name of Jesus) was by no means championed by Mars Hill alone. It was prevalent. It’s nearly impossible to overstate the carnage this has caused countless women.

So many of us bought this. If we were just beautiful enough, s-xy enough, thin enough but shapely enough, exciting enough, mysterious enough (after 20 years & 4 kids) and everything else enough, our husbands would keep their eyes on us alone & be true. Their lusts were our fault.

Their p-rn problems were our fault. Their infidelities were our fault. Everything was our fault. I was told if I treated my husband as if he already were what I wanted him to be, he’d become that. So, in other words, make like he’s someone he’s not. Translation: lie. He didn’t

I hope to speak calmly this AM. In my estimation, the handwriting was on the wall that this witch-hunt was tragically inevitable when the 6 SBC seminary presidents signed the statement declaring CRT incomparable with the Baptist Faith & Message BECAUSE 1) It wasn’t

made clear to many what qualifies as CRT & what does NOT. 2) Many people aren’t going to do the homework on how to differentiate between CRT & BIBLICAL priorities of justice & BIBLICAL mandates against injustice. If you don’t think God frowns on injustices committed or blessed by

people who claim to belong to him, you simply aren’t reading your Bible. I don’t have to be a seminary president to suggest reading the prophets if you want to know what kind of hell there can be to pay when we, the people of God, deal unjustly or stand by silently in its midst.

Going over my memory work in Galatians on my walk. It’s Paul in a whole mood from first word to last. Parts of it choke me up every time I get to them. Like when he says, “For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel

for I did not receive it from any man nor was I taught it but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ…” This leads to a brief but powerful testimony of his conversion. But the part of the segment that so moves me is that this gospel we have believed is not man’s

gospel. No man could have orchestrated such a plan. Such unfathomable grace & sacrifice. No flesh & blood could have the patience to unfold the story of redemption throughout centuries & periods of silence. God awaited “the fullness of time” to send his Son, fully God, fully man,

Now listen, y’all. I’m really one to talk since I’ve made more mistakes on Twitter than anyone I know. But I’ve learned something & countless times observed something I’d like to share in regard to communicating on this platform. Take as food for thought or with a gain of salt.

I’ve noticed the more repetitive I get about one thing—even ministry & those things that are the most crucial to me—the less people hear because somehow I’ve accidentally become a message or a cause more than a person. I’m embarrassed to say that I’m, at times, like this with

those I follow. Even if I agree, I’ll just wish occasionally I knew more about the heart, the life, behind the words on the screen. I don’t doubt that’s immaturity but maybe that’s my point. Maybe most people are a bit immature in attentiveness. One of my biggest takeaways when I

I’ll tell y’all why I have listened with such heightened interest to the @CTmagazine podcast on Mars Hill. It hasn’t been some sick need to hear about a church unraveling. It is because I’ve spent the last couple of years reading books about the history of American Christianity.

And because I’ve been involved up to my neck & maybe way over my head in it, I’ve been studying American evangelicalism in particular. I’m convinced that, though the threads are multicolored & distinctive, they braid together & have tangled into this current knot. Understand as I

say this that I could not possibly have been more involved: I am completely convinced that what we have on our hands is the result of a failure of discipleship. I don’t mean all our curricula has been wasted. We’re called to teach. It is imperative that believers study Scripture

Mornin! This is in reference to a thread I posted last night about lifelong friends. Keith can tell a story like nobody else. You’ll never hear it because he only does it in very small company. He had us in his palm last night about a time he was saltwater wade fishing & caught a

(I had you there, didn’t I?) big speckled trout on a lure & it ran straight toward him & hooked on his calf. Y’all, let me say that again. A wildly wiggling fish hooked to the meat of his leg. He had to make his way to his boat, get out his pliers(!!) & try to break off the barb.

We were all hollering at the table for him to stop telling us. Of course, he didn’t. We didn’t want him to anyway. We just wanted to yell about it. Then he said, “The pliers were so bad, I could’ve done it better with my teeth.” He went to great lengths to describe what he had
