I just attended Andy Stanley’s Unconditional Conference at his church outside Atlanta. It was about how to minister to people who identify as LGBT. I’m going to gather my notes, collect my thoughts, and put together a debrief this coming week.

Are you feeling frustrated & fatigued about 2020? I am. My guess is it's partly because technology has given us ringside seats to every tragedy & evil act on the planet, creating two problems that hurt our soul: a faux omnipresence & a faux omniscience.

Terms like "cancel culture," "intersectionality," and "white privilege" are the symptoms of a worldview. Unless you address the underlying worldview, you'll struggle to make any headway eliminating the symptoms.

classes to the weekly diet of believers. But that’s precisely why we’ve failed to protect

My latest
#apologeticstipoftheday
: Let Jesus take the heat. When you have to share an unpopular biblical view, remind people that it's
#Jesus
- not you - that is responsible for the view. You're His
#disciple
so you have to adopt His view on the subject as well.
