A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

One of the things I think really helps @robsandia.bsky.social is that he consistently does his job as auditor well.
He doesn't do the culture war political stuff Breanna Bird does. He just finds misspent money and holds people accountable to Iowans.
