Chaplaincy is a growing vocation these days. And I love that nearly 20% of our Master’s students are getting a specialization in this field through the Center for Pastoral Wholeness & Chaplaincy Studies. memphisseminary.edu/2025/08/19/the…
I’m not sure I’ve ever witnessed such an uproar over a business rebranding. Now, the money being poured out - $700 million - to do so could definitely be better spent & invested in communities. But rebranding strategies are part of a free-market economy where mammon is central.
Remember that summer when so many freaked out about the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony? Yeah, it changed our world a lot. 🤦🏻♂️
I’m not sure if we’ll ever be willing to re-examine our ideas about “hell.” sacredthoughts.substack.com/p/what-the-had…

I have recently been listening to a podcast series called Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, hosted by @MikeCosper. This has been an insightful series into the rise of the "Satanic Panic" that took place in the 20th century. sacredthoughts.substack.com/p/stories-of-t…

“Two of the best-known Israeli human rights groups said Monday that Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza…” nytimes.com/2025/07/28/wor…
A fantastic podcast series I recently started listening to. This newer podcast takes you back to the Satanic Panic that gripped America in the 1980s and ’90s. It explores how hysteria gripped parents and teens christianitytoday.com/podcasts/devil…
Howdy @PastorMark. I don’t know you. What I do know is that you’re a Christian, man, husband, father & pastor. You hold the responsibility that the Mars Hill Bus ran over hundreds of bodies, left w/ deep wounds & trauma. And there r many who await repentance & personal apologies.

Whoever the victims are, they will be heard. Whoever those who harmed them are, they will be found out. The Epstein files may never be opened on earth, but do not be deceived; they are open in heaven. –Russell Moore, Christianity Today

Recently, I began this new book by African-American pastor & author Malcolm Foley. He offers an intriguing take – that race & racism are not primarily built upon hate & ignorance, but rather greed. Check out this book.
Patriotism is good; Nationalism of any sorts, even with the word “Christian” before it, is dangerous.
