A vision of relationships rooted in the gospel — #TheCostOfAmbition by Miroslav Volf 📖

Sabbath Fridays and Strong Museum of Play with my first born = priceless #girldad

On Sunday, we complete the Book of Daniel at Browncroft Community Church. Paul S. Kim has a wonderful closing for us in the #UnderstandingTheBookOfDanielPodcast - hi.switchy.io/kZk0

Ran on the canal with this guy 👊

God doesn't need your big ministry. A few thoughts on faithfulness...https://open.substack.com/pub/pdenglert/p/god-doesnt-need-your-big-ministry

Almighty God, we commend to your gracious care and keeping all the men and women of our armed forces at home and abroad. Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace; strengthen them in their trials and temptations...https://www.instagram.com/p/DQ6jNjrjssI/

Yesterday, I shared that mature prayer surrenders everything to God. @stevecusswords.bsky.social outlines 5 false needs or ways that we try to carry a weight only God can carry — control, approval, being there for people, having the right answer, & perfection. See more www.browncroft.org/sermons/

In prayer, we hold God’s character in one hand while acknowledging our limitations on the other. Prayer invites us to surrender our control, perfection, approval, people pleasing, and having the right answers. Check out today’s message from browncroft at www.browncroft.org/sermons/

When I run, I feel God’s pleasure. — Eric Liddell

Happy birthday to Robyn Englert 🎉 She is a remarkable mother and wonderful wife 🙏

My oldest 👧 - “For my birthday, no screens for the whole day.” My youngest 👧 - “For my birthday, no vegetables for the whole day.”

Kit Kats are the Pittsburgh Steelers of candy. Traditionally good, but what have you done for me lately. Twix are the New England Patriots. A mild bit of controversy mixed with a rabid fan base.

Happy Halloween from our butterfly & witch like Ramona Quimby #girldad #girlmom

My 2025 Candy Power Ranking… #halloween

I recently heard a devotional by Richard Christman of browncroft. I loved his thoughts on #halloween & #christmas: “There is no season more joyous than Christmas. Every darkness presented by October…https://www.instagram.com/p/DQesu5JjnnL/

I took Jeremiah/Lamentations with Malcom Brubaker at Valley Forge. In his opening class, he read a section of the #CloisterWalk by Kathleen Norris. Something happens in us when the biblical scholar interacts with the poet. Richard Lischer’s #OurHeartsAreRestless adds more to this interaction.

6-7 & Reverse Mentoring / Rambles on a run 🏃‍♂️

Bittersweet win for the @newyorkjets.bsky.social. Sad for the loss of Nick Mangold. I’m so happy for Justin Fields #jetup

I asked AI to create a picture of how old I’ll look the next time the New York Jets will make the playoffs…#jetup #nyjets

Why do people value nostalgia? / Ramble on run 🏃‍♂️ #nba #nbaonnbc #nostalgia

I had the honor of officiating a graveside service for a saint from @browncroft. One of their family stones had Psalm 23. Tim Keller in his book #OnDeath says…https://www.instagram.com/p/DQNGD5XAUJb/

I want to be where my feet are I want to breathe the life around me I want to listen as my heart beats Right on time… — #CenteringPrayer Porter’s Gate

Discouragement is a lie from the devil to blind you in the present of what God will do in the future. — Bill Kirk

Happy Anniversary Robyn Englert #ROPO2013

The @newyorkjets.bsky.social season is sadder than a Boyz II Men breakup mixtape from 1999.

Yeah, the @newyorkjets.bsky.social are about to be the first team to go 0-17.

Grateful for our Browncroft Community Church partners sharing with our small group leaders about the need for mentoring in #ROC

For a chance to get $5 million dollars…would you rather try to pitch to Shohei Ohtani for an out or try to get a hit off his pitching?

A year ago, I had the opportunity to take a sabbatical. The topic has come up in conversation with other leaders and pastors over the last few weeks. At the end of the day, it's experiencing the paradoxes of spiritual formation...https://www.instagram.com/p/DP8-YHlDHEK/

We had a little dress rehearsal for Halloween last night at the Webster library #girldad #girlmom

Ramble on a run 🏃‍♂️ | A thought from my counselor

This week at Browncroft Community Church, we talked about Daniel 4 & Nebuchadnezzar. Hear more from Old Testament scholar, Wendy Widder, in our Understanding Daniel Podcast - hi.switchy.io/j1MV

Ramble on a run 🏃‍♂️ | James Franklin got fired yesterday. Nobody gets the story that they want sometimes things just don’t work out. How can that for you today?

Last night, I got to watch #ILikeMe, the documentary about John Candy. The night he was found dead, he had a Bible open. One of the individuals responded to this detail, "He was trying to find home...https://www.instagram.com/p/DPrC_lkjahL/

Like father, like daughter. It was fun having Uncle Andy and family together this week 👊

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to go to Rochester Christian School for #pastorappreciationmonth. I’m grateful for the students, teachers, staff & parents from browncroft at the school. What a joy 👊

If Upstate New York had an Olympics, one of the games would be… How long can you wait to turn the heat on in your home before winter?

“God comes to you disguised as your life.” — Paula D’Arcy

When the world seems dark and chaotic, the book of Daniel tells us, "God is in control." Loved talking with Ron Pierce from Talbot School of Theology for the Browncroft Community Church podcast "Understanding the Book of Daniel." 📺 hi.switchy.io/iqF5

Today, I was out for a meeting when someone from browncroft approached me and said, “I would like to introduce you to someone.” I met Pastor Bob Closs, who is 105 years old and served in churches in my hometown area of Binghamton. When I asked him his secret, he pointed up to God.

Grab a copy of J.R. Briggs new book, “The Art of Asking Better Questions — Pursuing Stronger Relationships, Healthier Leadership, and Deeper Faith.”

We often find ourselves stumbling over the day-to-day hurts, habits, & hang-ups of life. Take a moment to consider this — the death & Resurrection of Jesus changes everything. If Jesus rose from the dead…https://www.instagram.com/p/DPfGEw-jHDo/

So I propose a toast Here’s to every failure tried Here’s to friends that cash can’t buy And bonds that won’t be severed Here’s to love and here’s to life Here’s to fighting side by side Here’s to us together You and I — #IProposeAToast Jon Foreman

I would encourage you to check out this @cbsmornings.bsky.social report on baptism. It offers a view on how God is moving and a the complexities of Christianity in our time. youtu.be/NaYG-orNmaU?...

I forgot to add the Jets…Humble Pie.

Being a Jets fan is like living through 500 Days of Summer without knowing if Autumn is coming.

Jerry Jones acting like the Micah Parsons’s trade is like Herschel Walker. I like Brian Schottenheim, but Jimmy Johnson or Emmitt Smith isn’t in the building. #GBvsDAL #DallasCowboys #GoPackGo

Imagine if Shedeur Sanders said yes to the Ravens. #BALvsKC #RavensFlock  #chiefskingdom
