Currently reading: The Trinity: An Introduction (Short Studies in Systematic Theology) by @scottrswain 📚"…we were baptized into God’s triune name so that we might learn to praise God’s triune name."
Classics education is a big deal. Without it, there would’ve been no Fourth of July.
Get inspired by Lisa Przystup’s Tucson Road Trip in The Strategist via @VisitTucsonAZ.
Finished reading: Leading God’s People: Wisdom from the Early Church for Today by Christopher A. Beeley. So good. On my top ten list now for pastoral theology books. 📚
“At what schools does Christ, as a prophet, train up his disciples? At the school of the law, the school of the gospel, and the school of affliction.” — James Fisher
Currently reading: How to Tell a Joke: An Ancient Guide to the Art of Humor (Ancient Wisdom for Modern Readers) by Marcus Tullius Cicero 📚 Heard about this book/series on the great Ad Navseam podcast.
🎙 Listened: Praying in a Time of Pandemic with Christopher Beeley. Very good. What is prayer, why you should pray, how to pray.
I’m starting a new blogchain called Decision Help. Check out the first entry: Discernment (discrimination, sound judgment).
This weekend, listen to Carl Trueman‘s short lecture on The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self. He is expanding on themes from his recent best-seller.
🎵Listening: Skip, Hop, and Wobble. One of my all-time favorite albums.
This week in the Confession Overview Class, I’ll be teaching on baptism, the Lord’ Supper, and church censures. We start at 11:15am after morning worship on Sunday.
The Anchor Devotional I wrote for today is about why God’s authorship of the Bible is important.
Some people say the Bible doesn’t need to have God as its author in order for it to be helpful. That’s like saying you don’t need a love letter to be from your spouse in order to make you happy.

“When Christians trust God, they find themselves doing things that otherwise seemed impossible.” (From my devotional today in Anchor.)
