$99 a ticket for a one-day Christian conference, or $5000 a ticket for the same one-day Christian conference with the addition of backstage access and group dinner & breakfast with the main host. I'm just going to say it. This is appalling.

I’m here for a Violet Bridgerton love story #BridgertonS3

We need to have a serious conversation about this being characterized as spousal betrayal instead of child sexual abuse by those with platform and celebrity.

In 2019, I first encountered Circle of Hope, a radical group of some six hundred heavily-inked young Jesus followers, on a street corner in Kensington, the Philadelphia neighborhood hit hardest by the opioid crisis. (1/4)

This is an accurate picture of what healthcare is like for us in Melbourne. I feel grateful everyday to live here.

Circuit riders playing the long game

I understand that the SBC is debating the place and process for affirming the Nicene Creed in its doctrinal affirmations. But ... if you cannot affirm the Creed or if you reject it, then you're outside historical Christianity, and you belong in the same category as Unitarians,

My first obituary for the The New York Times — Paul Pressler, disgraced leader in the Southern Baptist Convention, has died at 94. Once revered, as many as seven men accused him of sex abuse nytimes.com/2024/06/16/obi… Thanks to Robert Downen Baptist News Global for their earlier news reporting

In loving memory of Jennifer Lyell. Until we meet again.
