Friends, save the date for this year's @obunews Hobbs Lecture & @BaptistRenewal Conference, feat. @FredFredSanders & others! OBU MDiv students can attend as part of our Christianity & the Creeds course, which includes seminar time with Sanders & myself. okbu.edu/apply
No more emo brooding Cavill Superman in knock-off sci-fi Dark Knight wannabe Man of Steel movies. We made it, you guys.
A running joke around the office is @M_Y_Emerson's and my proclivity for accidentally wearing the same clothes to the office. We literally coordinated this time and still...
Two years ago I accepted the offer to come to @obunews as Chair of @HobbsOBU and Assoc. Professor of Theology & Early Christianity. It was not an easy decision for a number of reasons and was reached after several really difficult months of prayer, consideration, countless long…

With the recent hires of @RonniKurtz, @drjohnmeade, and @pjgurry, our friends up at @MBTS are doing a great job bolstering their scholarly rigor and positioning themselves for the future. Grateful for their continued friendship and partnership with us at @obunews!

My one sports team I’m actually excited to watch this fall.
The countdown continues 50 days until kickoff 🤘
The latest Church Grammar is a convo with Kelly Kapic on his book “You’re Only Human” & its follow-up devotional (here: amzn.to/409ezpY). We discuss anthropology, the love of God, Jesus’s humanity, & some tough cultural issues. linktree.com/churchgrammar
I have myriad sins but, by God’s grace, I have become much more of a peacemaker than I was a decade ago. I don’t dislike many people. I don’t struggle with professional jealousy or discontentment. But I truly and maybe even sinfully cannot stand professional narcissists who…
The Rockets, Spurs, Celtics, & Bucks making great moves to compete now without sacrificing the future. Nico traded Luka for a “3-year window” (coinciding with his own contract) & blew the future, only to fall backwards into the #1 pick, then told Mavs fans it was his “vision.”
