I'm sitting with this & several other eye-opening trends as I'm researching #CommissionGood. It's heartbreaking, scary & all the other words that come to mind. There's more room at the table for those w/ vision for the #commongood and #humanflourishing. If that's you, DM me!

This my expression of #joy after crushing a goal of 100 conversations in 100 days during my sabbatical. It’s amazing what happens when we allow our availability to be used to cultivate life!

The world is much bigger and yet much smaller than you think. Keep doing the great work only you can do and let’s others watch and encourage you along the way.

Sobering to watch and encouraging to think about. It may “seem” like Hope has diminished itself, however doesn’t this resemble the many echoes of God’s rescue in the larger story?

Briliant!!!

It’s still true. Let’s love well today, friends.

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you odd. - Flannery O'Connor

Very inspiring session this morning at #MainStreetNow about the wounds places can carry and how avoidance isn’t the answer. Grateful to be present with these shepherds and leaders of our most beloved places.

You’ve got to find your people and then you find yourself. #Wisdom from Drew Holcomb

Yes.

Great 🧵 her by Madni Aghadi. #Canva is proving that listening to customers and making simple solutions can scale.

What stops us from speaking truth to power is not a desire for harmony. It’s a climate of fear and futility. When leaders fail to make it safe and worthwhile to be honest, we bite our tongues. Weak leaders stifle dissent and leave themselves weaker. Strong leaders welcome

Once you realize life isn’t about you, you start to live a life of freedom. How is this true? It’s a paradox for sure. However, wisdom teaches us those who flourish sacrifice for others. What you do next is your free choice.

Today is a great day to practice gratitude. (Especially for those you think are crazy or make you crazy at least.)

Or could it be they serve a different sovereign maker/creator of all things than you do? Worthy of a conversation at least, don’t you think Codie Sanchez?

GOLD right here!

And this is why I started your #MainStreetMentor.

Wives note: What your husband really neede in marriage.

So many, from the outside looking in at Christianity, think it’s a fools errand. And when we let media control the narrative we consume, then they’d be right in that assumption. However, watching Ben Sasse live our faith out loud speaks a better word.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another.
