Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing. Memoir on leaving psychedelics for Jesus: The Thing That Would Make Everything Okay Forever / @lexhampress
Is it weird to say I am also deeply moved by how He rescued me?! That upon re-reading my own story, I was shocked anew by both how wretched I was and how kind and good and merciful He is? Thank you, Annie 💖
Finally finished @ashley_lande's new book from @lexhampress. Wow. This book is fantastic, but even more wonderful is the lavish, humble, patient, wise, enduring love of God. I am deeply moved by the way the Lord slowly, gently, mercifully rescued his daughter from real darkness.
You're going to die
What's a opinion about health that would have people doing this?
I'm going to start prefacing all my tweets with "Popular opinion:" because if it is my opinion then I believe it should be popular
the thing with peter thiel is that he's very clear about his beliefs. it seems that people are trying to make him out as someone larping a historical, creedal christianity and then beat him over the head for that. but he's not. he has never been. and that seems clear to me.
I wrote about death, Peter Thiel and transhumanism in 2021 for Ekstasis. Not sure why he calls himself a Christian because he talks about it as though he's never encountered historical Christianity nor read the Bible beyond a smattering of verses ekstasismagazine.com/kingdom-meets-…
Because it's perceived as "neutral" - just a little dash of non-accountable / non-relational, theologically beniege (combo of benign & beige) a la carte pseudo-deity to lightly spiritualize the room

“I asked chatgpt” “I asked grok” well I asked medieval theologian Anselm of Canterbury and he said you shouldn’t seek to understand in order that you may believe but rather you should believe in order that you may understand.
Highly recommend singing Steffany Gretzinger's version of "No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus" to your baby. Not crying while doing so: fundamentally impossible
Oh my. I... just... wow. No.

The irony of posting this on Twitter is not lost upon me, but I couldn't help sharing such an elegantly written and ontologically terrifying insight from @hemingquay 's new book, "The Transhumanist Temptation"
Letting teenage son drive to his little sister's orthodontic appt today and a LAMBORGHINI pulls up next to us. I say a silent prayer my son does not hit the only Lamborghini in Wichita, Kansas (with a 60-day tag on it, no less) and we do not 🙏💖🙏 (Also difficult to keep a…
Solid response. I have this weird tic where I actually enjoy being around my kids so much that I homeschool them.
I wrote for @TheMomWars today about this social media trend of pretending to kill yourself after spending the summer with your kids. Read and subscrib: themomwars.substack.com/p/the-joke-isn…
Teenage son: Mom, do you think I should take the dog for a walk? Me: I dunno, it's getting pretty hot out there! Teenage son: Oh, it'll be fine, I'll just wear my hoodie.
Talk all the trash you'd like on CCM and do likewise with its "repeating phrase" trope, but you can't make me believe God didn't orchestrate the holy precious moment yesterday when I was sitting in the kitchen sweating after making 30 breakfast burritos for the coaches and…
Currently reading and it's an excellent overview and a reading pleasure (if an alarming one)
Excited to announce that my book — “The Transhumanist Temptation” — is now available for pre-order. You can find it on other sites too, but as always, ordering straight from the publisher is best. sophiainstitute.com/product/the-tr…
I haven't been actively writing for quite awhile bc *baby*! Thought I'd share this thing I wrote on my long struggle w/ God's sovereignty, triggered in this case by my late sister's Facebook acct being hacked by someone hocking fake Louis Vuitton purses: tinyurl.com/5n6c2u9h

This essay *from 4 years ago* will help anyone in a state of “incredulous blinking” over Peter Thiel’s incoherent, Christian-ish vibe-talking.

Transhumanism, Peter Thiel, and our hope in the God-man who changes forever the way we view death.
