We have too much evidence that just "getting into the Word" doesn't produce Christ-like character. Is the problem the Bible? No! It's the lack of up-close discipleship, around the table, to the ways of Jesus on the streets.
Deleted work email app to remove temptation to work. Feasting and playing to commence!
The EARLY CHURCH worshipped around tables filled with food, not in pews filled with prudes or pulpits filled with dudes. Hospitality, not hate, drew people to Jesus. The most sacred piece of furniture in your life is your kitchen table. Shared meal > Systematic theology
The renewal of the church will not start with microphones on stages, it will start with meals around tables.
What if at the end of history, the question God asks us is not whether we abstained from sin. What if the question is “Did you enter into the joy that was available to you?”
So excited to participate in this forum!

Overnight my cat got a hold of a paper towel roll, and in effect tp-ed my kitchen. I am still laughing about it.
“What relevance can God have for people whose minds and hearts have been assaulted with the message that human beings are economic creatures whose vocation is to produce, purchase, and consume, not religious beings called to love, worship, and praise God?” - Paul J. Wadell

After coming up empty handed at three stores I found one loan bottle of my hypoallergenic deodorant selling for $10 at a fourth store. I am really close to going all natural since I am allergic to most name-brands. Y’all it’s hard to find specialty products right now…
Dear @CDCgov this is hypocritical guidance. We have not learned a damn thing these last few years. You are making it even easier for people to go around spreading Covid.

This I believe…as someone who has transformed a church from a pew and pulpit worship into a dinner church where everyone participates in conversational preaching at tables while sharing a meal.

A generation of Christians were told that those from other religions who tie their theology to guns and their nation’s flag are “terrorists,” all while being told that people in our religion who did the same thing are “patriots.” This is the Christianity we are deconstructing.
Kitchen table thought: Why would a new emerging denomination seek to “poach” members of another denomination? Isn’t the mission field of Nones fertile enough? What do those actions reveal about that church’s understanding of its mission?
Christians are often bad at making friends with non-Christians because our end goal is not friendship. But Jesus is regarded as a friend of sinners.

It is a confusing moment in which we find ourselves wherein those still taking precautions are derided as holdouts even as new travel restrictions are put in place.
When we deconstruct, often our core community falls away. It can feel lonely. But there's strength in being alone. It's how you recharge and become stronger. It's how you become yourself as last and maybe reenter healthier. My Sophia print "Suspended".

We're not gonna become someone we love by talking to ourselves like we're someone we hate. We're not gonna become the best version of ourselves while treating ourselves like someone who deserves to be punished just for existing. I know, it's hard. But have your own back.
