Today is the launch day for The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics.

We have a LOT going on in 2023, here is a preview.

The single thing I am most excited about is the 26 Fellows who will produce essays, podcasts, and video content. It is an impressive and humble group:

I’ve long had an elder at church who says:

“The ability to handle dissonance is a sign of relational and spiritual maturity.”

A short 🧵 on the implications for hospitality, your pre-frontal cortex, evangelism…
As America continues to fracture into every possible permutation and combination…

Standing out should become EASIER.

The key is a quiet confidence that comes from knowing you serve a good AND sovereign God.
In the Trump, COVID, and post-COVID eras increasing percentages of people haven’t been well regulated emotionally.

Rather they’ve been living in a cortisol state out of their amygdala’s moving from one fear or outrage to the next.

MEA CULPA Thread:

I was reduced to utter tears yesterday at what I thought was a new transcript of Todd Beamer’s 911 call from the rear galley of United 93.

I felt like his story was not well known.

However, I didn’t fully vet the provenance…

If you know me at all in real life, then you know I am quite anal about due diligence.

There is a special kind of irony that the only thing that I have ever had go viral was something whose veracity turned out suspect.

2/
A number of folks helpfully pointed out later in the day yesterday that they didn’t think this was a definitive transcript and they were correct that it wasn’t definitive.

EXPANDED THREAD on the fracturing of evangelicalism:

I keep thinking about what I’m observing as I talk to other pastors & ministry leaders around the country and I think that evangelicalism is fracturing into at least 6 distinct groups:

1/14 Image
1. Christian nationalists/neo-fundamentalists

2. Evangelicals - still committed to culture war but not with the same dynamics as # 1s

3. Post-Evangelicals - doctrinally identical to # 2s but uncomfortable w/ political implications of ‘evangelical’ label and diff in phil. of min
4. Ex-vangelicals - similar to # 3s but actively/vocally more critical of groups 1 and 2

5. Dechurched but some Jesus - similar to # 4 but tension w/ church has led them to leave institutional church and doubts rising

6. Dechurched but no Jesus - no longer a Christian

THREAD on the recent SBC Statement on BFM and Incompatibility of CRT (you can read the full statement from the link)

baptistpress.com/resource-libra…
Before I go any further a few caveats:

1. I have a deep admiration and appreciation for the men who wrote this statement and firmly believe both their Gospel commitments and that they had the best intentions
2. I am not in the SBC but this statement will impact my ability to pastor and will shape the ongoing conversation

3. I am aware that brevity of such statements often hurts the ability to create the nuance and clarity that this thread is encouraging

THREAD: On Reparations

There seem to be two main aspects to the conversation on reparations IDEOLOGY and ADMINISTRATION:
1. Is this idea just and/or Biblical?
2a. If yes to #1, who should receive them and how much?
2b. If yes to #1, who should pay for them and how much?

A good argument can be made from pure logic as @scott_m_coley has enumerated here:
