Very carefully avoided saying PragerU because I think this platform is pretty censor-y www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8AB6Yu2/

How do I know if I really experienced God? Well, encounters with God always turn us away from what we were doing, what we thought we cared about, and toward something infinitely larger and more loving. If you think God is asking you to stay just as you are... That's not God.

Maybe instead of arguing about who is and isn't Christian according to your tradition's definitions and requirements we could just all get on the same page that anyone expressing their religious freedom (where it doesn't infringe on the rights of others) should be safe from random acts of violence.

If you go on vacation you just record about Jonah before you leave www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8ScLfMY/

You do not need to be at fault for something to be your responsibility.

Mac likes to run into the bushes while I buckle Rixey in when I pick them up from daycare and today... One of the rival dads explained how that was unsafe and he wouldn't let his child behave like that.

Some of my colleagues don't want to use AI but like how else can I get through this board meeting?

Loving your neighbor as yourself means loving yourself! Otherwise it's not a very good commandment. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Sh7grw/

Prophecy isn't prediction it's perception. The Prophets report what God sees, not some esoteric future.

From now on when someone online tells me a Bible verse I "should go read" to understand why women "can't" be priests, I'm telling them they should read Ephesians 4:18. "they are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of their ignorance and hardness of heart."

As ever, I do not view this point about white supremacy as one to debate. If you would argue with me about this or make it about politics I will delete your comment, shake the dust, and bid you go in peace brother. May someone turn your heart of stone into flesh etched with the Covenants of God.

The Church doesn’t exist to echo outrage headlines. We’re not “political” because of the news cycle—we’re political because the Gospel refuses to let children starve or to make peace with any other human suffering. Not when it’s trendy. Not when it’s safe. Always.

It's taken me a little while to make a video. Something about blood-stained children's pews meant I needed to pause before I could say something at all. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Se9UBd/

If you accidentally walk into a Benson Boone concert are you supposed to say, "Sorry I'm Here For Someone Else"?

The algorithms punish me but I refuse to use the word "unalive." Unalive is not what Cain did to Abel. Anyway here is a video about women in scripture taking on different roles which are all part of being a pastor in a community. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BVdhke/

Wait help me out here... Are the people who want the free markets mad that Cracker Barrel is changing its vibe because it's trying to generate more market share with a younger demographic? And it's the angry people's ideological opponents who are snowflakes? Is that right?

Georgia O'Keeffe consistently denied her flower paintings were intended to depict anything other than exploration of form, color, abstraction, and as a way to capture the beauty and essence of the natural world. All I'm saying is we all need feedback because none of us can see ourselves clearly.

From my sermon Sunday. Y'all, having Jesus’ name on something doesn’t make it holy. Calling Jesus King doesn’t mean you’re the good guys. Pontius Pilate’s the one who wrote the first sign, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews"

Love wins.

On that app Ke$ha sang about I've got a BUNCH of men big mad that I have the audacity to be part of a Church which ordains women... So now I've made them more mad because every time some asshole says we should just read the Bible I say, YES EXACTLY, in Christ there IS NO male or female!

I give my video file names a lot of care trying to make my editor laugh. Today the Saint Mary video is called yallaintactrightandgodispissed.mp4 But like also not a joke... That's what the Magnificat says to the powerful. Y'all ain't act right; and God is pissed. 🤷

I love church. I miss church. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8koyser/

Real quick check if you are or are not a morally serious person. If you think how rich someone is measures whether or not they are a good person, that is an unserious belief. You're a silly man. Your other opinions should be treated as silly until you fix that underlying mistake.

There's not a lot Jesus fulfilled because it was predicted and then as if by magic His life just happened to reflect the prediction. Jesus, intimately familiar with the language and images of the Hebrew Scriptures, used those expectations to communicate with the people around Him.

New talk to text on Androids is great; it inserts grammar and all my punctuation for me... Except I am an indirect communicator, and what is indirectly communicates to me is I speak in exclusively runon sentences. It keeps stopping in the middle of a sentence like he couldn't possibly still be going

I just think that Christian Nationalists are the enemies of God and we should say it frequently. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8kQFfwY/

What I love about Anglicanism writ large is there aren't these litmus tests. Anything you believe, which has a historic precedent, I can find you a global or historical Anglican who agrees and one who disagrees. I sometimes don't even have to look it up.

Scripture doesn’t always make things clearer. Sometimes it makes us ask better questions. The people who claim to have all the answers are genuinely telling on themselves. They don't know how important it is to wrestle with the questions. Wrestling is one of the ways we know what we really believe.

Vacation all I ever wanted. Vacation had to get away.

If you could really learn anything from those books wouldn't it be called a truthbrary?!

The good old days weren't that good and they weren't that long ago so we can actually look at people who are not going to church now and ask why they are not and they can tell us why they thought it sucked. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8hPE8L9/

Church is not where you go to become someone else. It’s where you go to remember who you really are: through the only eyes that matter—God’s. You are Beloved. Belonging. Deserving of love, dignity, healing.

Just on TikTok... TikTalking about the Bible: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8hSQJyw/

The Gospel is not quite optimism. It’s definitely not “everything happens for a reason.” The lament in Scripture flies in the face of everyone who wants to sweep problems under the rug or find silver linings.

Biblical principles are not conservative or liberal in the sense of American politics. Because... The Bible is more important than American politics to Christians. I don't give a shit if we can "afford" to feed people. God said to feed people. Figure it out government or you are the enemy of God.
