Want to take a moment and debrief from this year's #FWBLC.

If you're part of the #NAFWB movement read and respond to this thread.
We should commend the @NAFWB for dedicating the conf to the topic of developing young leaders AND their willingness to change up format.

Peppermint Patty is a legalist.
A thread inspired by A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Image
1. She points out that someone should say a prayer. “It is Thanksgiving after all!”

Legalists love decorum. It combines two of their favorites: rules and performance.
2. When the food doesn’t meet her standards she throws a fit. It’s not traditional Thanksgiving food. Don’t mess with a legalist’s traditions.

She’s probably also Baptist.
(Maybe she started attending First Baptist cause they needed her on the softball team?)

A group should be large enough to sustain itself, yet manageable enough to remain itself.

(A thread about Facebook groups and a lesson for pastors like myself)
I’ve seen examples of Facebook groups so small there was not enough interaction for the group to be useful or viable.

I’ve also seen groups that were so large and unmanaged that the content and discussion moved off topic and it lost the plot...
The group can be large, but it requires greater management.

I have seen Facebook groups that were incredibly large, but admins and moderators were very thorough and nearly ruthless with taking down posts and blocking people who trolled others and posted off topic.

Canceling Netflix was easy.

Nicole and I have cancelled Netflix today because of their decision to put Cuties on their platform and then market the movie in an incredibly irresponsible way.

#CancelNetflix

This movie sexualizes young girls in provocative outfits and dance numbers, but according to the director, the point of the movie is that popular culture is sexualizing young girls through media.

I wholeheartedly agree with this assessment while thoroughly disagreeing with her tactic and method. She has become the evil she supposedly critiques.

We all remember where we were on 9/11.

We won’t for the pandemic.
As pointed out by @ThomRainer, we won’t have the same experience with the pandemic because COVID-19 wasn’t a moment with aftermath, it is an ever evolving and changing situation.
Another key difference he notes is that every major crisis has brought people together to mourn, pray, and unite in solidarity - often in churches.

The pandemic has done the opposite.

This past Sunday I got choked up as we sang Amazing Grace. It wasn’t because the song is so meaningful (it really is!). It wasn’t because the newly formed 2nd praise band was doing a great job (they really were!).
It was because I could hear Melvin 3 rows back in his usual pew belting the song out. Melvin turned 90 this year. He’s one of the incredibly faithful people who invited me to be their pastor back in 2005.
Our church has changed a lot since then. Our service times, music, and several of our methods are very different. I’m sure when Melvin looks around our church there’s people he doesn’t recognize, events in the bulletin he doesn’t understand, & songs he’s never heard before.

If you’re going into ministry, don’t get married in June or July cause then you’ll spend every anniversary at VBS or Church Camp.
Also don’t get married at Christmas cause you’ll spend your anniversaries running Christmas plays and then driving 12 hours to see family for the holidays.
Also don’t get married around a holiday weekend cause you’ll spend every anniversary covering 4 volunteer positions at weekend services.
