What’s it like for a French Christian to watch the Olympics? CT asked Erwan CLOAREC about the French evangelical reaction to the opening ceremony, what he wants people to know about *laïcité,* and what he has loved about the Olympics this year. christianitytoday.com/ct/2024/august…

Christians should always be willing to accept an honest and fair critique. But during election season, we put on partisan blinders and scorn those who point out our political inconsistencies and the flaws in our candidate. We compromise our public witness to win an election.

My first article!! Here is what I hope to bring to Christianity Today! “I do not sit in some compromised middle, but I am centered in a gospel that is actively revolutionary and traditional.” christianitytoday.com/ct/2024/august…

My heart is so full. Our Woori (우리) Grace Lee-Herrmann was born Aug 19. I’ll never get over how precious and heavenly the birth of a life is. As much pain & brokenness there is in this world, as much conflict & wounds, God still anoints it with so much wonder & beauty.

I started working on this essay on my struggles to find community last year, before I was pregnant w our 2nd child. We named her Woori (우리), which is Korean for us/our/we and connotes family/community/oneness. What I wrote in this essay has become a prayer for our Woori.

"We could have built a movement to support more generous family policies. Instead, many pro-lifers went for force first. ... The overarching mistake is a default position of compelling rather than convincing." Marvin Olasky at Christianity Today: christianitytoday.com/2024/09/triump…

Many Africans watch the boom of Chinese migrants w unease. In Kenya, most natives are aware that the Chinese are among them, but as one person told me, “they are not friends.” I met two Kenyans who see the migrants as a mission field. Their mission: befriend the Chinese.

🧵I have thoughts about the Bluey article. I grew up in a household where pretty much every show, toy, movie etc that was cool among my peers was off-limits. Something about it was always "problematic," according to some religious leader with too much time on his hands.

“Our social media habits have made slander so prevalent, so normal, that we’re willing to overlook its pernicious effects as long as it helps our cause or confirms our narrative. We no longer see this sin as disqualifying. We no longer even see it as sin.” Chew on this.

Questions I’m thinking this Advent: Did Jesus have constipation? Diarrhea? Did he fart? Surely he had his butt wiped as a baby. To think our almighty God would deign to take this humble, sticky, smelly human form just to display His love to us. To be born to die. Incredible.

My father once dreamed of being the next Billy Graham. As my parents recently shut down their church and moved back to Korea after 34 years of overseas ministry, I thought a lot about what “success” and “greatness” is, especially as I struggle with my own unmet expectations.
