One was founded on profit. The other on faith. Jamestown and Plymouth shaped two powerful forces in American life: commerce and religion. | Thomas S. Kidd

We want to know what Scripture means *for us* without twisting it. Full episode with Patrick Schreiner ☧ available now!

In fact, I'm convinced that the average church member who has sat under expositional preaching for a few years has better hermeneutical 'instincts' than many academics. I don't say that lightly as somebody who longs for evangelicals to love theological education!

What Wes and the team are doing at the The NETS Center is one of the best things going in theological education. Hands-on ministry training, counseling, affordable housing, and virtually guaranteed placement, during or after your Midwestern Seminary Midwestern Global degree. Check it out!

If you dip into some Psalms you might hear a self-righteous religious person asking God to take their side & smite their foes. If you dwell in them you realize you have now opened all your conflicts to God & you have to triangulate every fight & all foes toward his righteousness.

In this PragerU video, I give a 5-minute rundown of Jamestown, Plymouth, and the real story behind the First Thanksgiving!

"Because the local church is God's plan A for theological education and spiritual formation, we can do online education." - Travis Montgomery of @mbts Midwestern SeminaryGlobal Full episode available now wherever you watch or listen! Links below.

I'm always saddened when, on Thanksgiving, some find nobody in particular to thank. For believers, there's another error to avoid: selective gratitude. Not all of life is good, but there is a way in all things to be grateful to God for those who live by faith.
