We got the same dishwasher installed this week and I was so impressed with that feature that I took a picture.

Reading @stewartdantec.bsky.social’s Shoutin’ In The Fire and this paragraph says so much about where we are today.

A great opening talk by @dianabutlerbass.bsky.social followed by an improvised song on her talk from Ken Medema. Result is taking in the message from both left and right brain. @southernlightsconf.bluesky.social

I'm excited to announce the creation of a launch team for my forthcoming The Fearless Christian University.

It's a private Facebook group, so you'll have to ask permission to join. Once you're in and have pre-ordered the book, more info will be available.

This is from a Chronicle of Higher Ed piece on teaching Gen Z. These arguments match what I argue in my book on a Christian Universities.

Played around with the 2022 General Social Survey this afternoon exploring correlates of lack of trust in institutions (thanks to ARDA!). Here is confidence in the business community by generation and social class. Look at the change in "hardly any".

Just finished this excellent sociological work by @jessicacalarco.bsky.social. It documents the precarity of modern families, especially women, and how our refusal to build a compassionate social safety net damages our society. Look for more reactions on my SubStack next Wednesday.

If you are in the Colorado Springs area Thursday night, you should come be part of this event sponsored by the UCCS Center for the Study of Evangelicalism.

I’ll try to explain the multifaceted reasons why the evangelical vote is the way it is and very likely will be for some time.

Glad to be participating in this event in two weeks organized by the UCCS Center for the Study of Evangelicals.
