I joined Twitter in 2010, in my 1st year of grad school. I found a thriving ecosystem of theology nerds, niche political analysis, and strangely immediate means of communicating with writers and thinkers that I loved. I'm skeptical that lightning can strike in the same way twice. But here goes.

Found myself re-reading the introduction of Jeffrey Stout's *Democracy and Tradition* this morning. This was written 20 years ago, or perhaps today.

There are silver linings to having Seattle as a temporary second home

Once again, @jake_meador is doing good work drawing attention to political theology from scholars who draw deeply on the historical tradition to address contemporary concepts too often strawmanned. This time, it’s Bowlin’s work on the virtue of tolerance...

One year ago today: married the smartest, kindest, most beautiful person I'd ever met. We're spending our anniversary in a way neither of us ever wanted or could anticipate. But cancer doesn't get the last word.

It's a wrap. So many life-giving conversations with new and old friends on Christian formation, justice, and not gaining the whole world only to lose your soul. Thanks to @james_ka_smith, @bethallisonbarr, @MalcolmBFoley, @catjonathantran, @EricSeanGregory, and @HootenWilson

Scenes from day one of a conference long in the planning: coffee and conversation with @MalcolmBFoley, @bethallisonbarr, @catjonathantran, @EricSeanGregory, opening plenary remarks, and a standing room-only concert from The Porter’s Gate.

Next week at @whitworth: so many good people talking about things that matter--calling, character, and an education of the mind, heart, & soul. Come hear @james_ka_smith, @catjonathantran, @HootenWilson, @bethallisonbarr, @MalcolmBFoley, & @EricSeanGregory...

Hard to top this day in London: Dishoom for breakfast, sung eucharist at St Paul’s, the National Gallery, Hadestown, and North African fare at The Barbary

A fascinating essay from @DavidSchaengold on AI, Kripke, linguistics, human "magic," and why Google can't compute "999,999,999,999,999 minus 999,999,999,999,998." www.plough.com/en/topics/life/techn…

Final retreat day for @whitworth’s Vocations of the Christian Professor program. After a week of reading @james_ka_smith, @mathyawp, @HootenWilson, and @rooseveltmontas, alongside Charles Taylor, Rebecca Konyndyk DeYoung, Josef Pieper, et al.

This essay from @Tyler_A_Harper hits the main point precisely: the existential threat of AI/AGI is not its dystopian threat to our species' survival, but its subtle "sapping the ability of human beings to do human things."...

RIP Robert Adams (1937-2024), whose work I wrestled with--without much success on my part--throughout grad school. One of the great Christian philosophers of his generation. leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2024…

Can our academic communities cultivate spaces to educate not only the mind, but the heart and soul as well? Thrilled to host @james_ka_smith, @HootenWilson, @bethallisonbarr, @MalcolmBFoley, @catjonathantran, and @EricSeanGregory at @whitworth this fall. shorturl.at/bcgD6

Save the dates, y'all: Oct 17-19, here at @whitworth. We're hosting a conference on the future of Christian higher education, featuring @james_ka_smith, @HootenWilson, @bethallisonbarr, @MalcolmBFoley, @catjonathantran, @EricSeanGregory, and music from The Porter's Gate.

The next week of class readings here at @whitworth is going to be so rich, and probably extract more than a few tears.

So rare to find a book on contemporary faith and politics that has such a non-anxious presence to it. I’m grateful.

Prepping to teach Jean Bethke Elshtain's "Reflection on the Problem of 'Dirty Hands'" to my students (followed next week by @DavidDecosimo's counterpoint), and once again nervous about what I'm going to discover.

I've followed @TimAlberta's writing for some time with appreciation, but I wasn't prepared for how evocative and poignant this piece was. So much resonance, all the way down to the heartland Calvinist church culture....
