I've been working hard on this song with Folk Hymnal for almost two years. I would be honored and humbled if you gave it a listen. It's a folky song about how hard life can be. It's brutally honest and stubbornly hopeful. Enjoy! open.spotify.com/track/7GDTiQ...

Any Parks and Recreation fans out there? I made these today for my kids and I to chuckle at.

If there's any Christian folk/worship fans out there: I put together my annual music review. I probably missed some stuff so feel free to let me know what I should be listening to. timbriggshere.medium.com/best-christi...

What have I been up to lately? Just making the best custom Kurt Rambis cards the world as ever seen.

With Christmas approaching, I'm going to be making some new hymn/carol art pieces. All the ones pictured here are for sale. Always open to custom orders as well. These would make a great Christmas gift or a nice addition to your Christmas decor. Message for deets.

So, here’s how I explain it…

***Theology & Worship Nerds*** They say you can tell what a church believes by what it sings. Here are the top played songs from our church over the past 5 yrs. What theological tradition/denomination do you think we're apart of? Don't cheat!

I may be over the hill but sometimes I can teach the youngsters a lesson. #discgolf

For keeps sake.

We've got a new song coming out with Folk Hymnal on February 14th and would love for you to pre-save it on @Spotify. It's a song called 'May They Be Redeemed' and it's about the gospel. Can't wait for you to hear it. distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

We've recently started a sermon series at our church about anger. In 5+ yrs. of preaching, this sermon series has generated the most constructive feedback and conversations. I adapted the first sermon into a blog. What did I miss about anger? timbriggshere.medium.com/understandin...

Reading this, it’s very clear to see how the rhythms of the local church are meant to healthily push against the loneliness epidemic. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Prepping for a sermon on transformative anger. Who says AI can't be used for good?

It’s time for my fifth annual Best Books I’ve Read list. I didn’t read as much this year as in past years. That’s clearly a goal for 2025: read more books! Anything here that you liked as well? What should I read in 2025? medium.com/@timbriggshe...

I just completed my annual Christian Folk & Worship Music Review. I've got nothing to sell here. I just want to point people to some awesome music from independent artists who could use your eyes, ears, and streams. timbriggshere.medium.com/best-christi...

One of the ways people deal with not being wanted is being needed. Some of us become social workers, doctors, counselors, even pastors. And we work out in adulthood what was missed in childhood, often as emotional adolescents.

I made a battery dispenser today. Please, don’t call me a hero.

"The truth is, a farm swallows you up, takes everything you have, and then asks for more. It is also an exercise in humility: you can’t do it alone." -- @herdyshepherd.bsky.social The same could be said for the church.

Hey Blue Sky peeps, I know you're all listening to Advent/Christmas music right now but I'm gearing up to write my annual "Best Christian Folk & Worship Music Review of 2024." What needs to be on the list? Here's my article from last year: timbriggshere.medium.com/best-christi...

We reached a vaunted American milestone today. We are officially a “second fridge in the garage” family.

Of all the critiques of Gen Z I read about, this one is rarely mentioned: their failure to love Lunchables as much as their Millennial elders. The next thing you’re going to tell me is that they don’t like Sunny D either. www.cnn.com/2024/11/25/b...

If you’re in the mood for some Christmas music, I’ve written a bunch of original folky tunes over the years that I’m really proud of. open.spotify.com/playlist/68e...

So much pressure for my first skeet. I think I’ll regurgitate my first tweet: This should be interesting.
