Can "brain rot" be biblical? (Find out inside --> πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸŽ“πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸŽ“)


Hail to the conquering graduates!

Reader,

Next week, my daughter graduates from high school. (How can it be?)

I wanted to mark this milestone by leaving her and the other 2026 graduates with some timeless wisdom from God's Word.

If you've heard teenagers talking lately, you might've thought you were hearing a foreign language.

You weren't going crazy.

It does sound like a foreign tongue sometimes, and it takes some context clues to figure out what they're saying.

What you heard was likely brain rot.

I wrote this piece for them, in a language I think they'll understand.

Hopefully, you moms, dads, grandmas, and grandpas out there will enjoy this as well.

My daughter said it's pretty dope. I hope you agree. πŸ˜‰

New 20 Verses Article

Have you ever seen someone else’s suffering and felt a visceral reaction to it, like a sucker punch to your gut? The suffering may not be your own, but it still hurts, and you want to help alleviate the pain. This is what the Bible calls compassion, and it literally means to co-suffer with someone. The compassion of Christ is not feeling sorry for someone in hard circumstances and moving on. Jesus’ compassion moves him to feel with us and act. Here's an article about the compassion of Jesus toward you!

The Most Important Doctrine You've Never Heard Of

This truth changes everything! Reader, This week, I taught at my church's women's Bible Study on 1 John, and we looked at 1 John 4:15. "Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God." The end of that verse reveals an often-overlooked doctrine. Inside those eight words are massive, life-changing, Bible-expanding, worship-producing truths. "God abides in him, and he in God." It just might be the most important doctrine you've never heard of. I hope you'll take...

How Holy Leisure Helps You See More Clearly

Are you spiritually nearsighted? Reader, If you've ever struggled to enjoy reading God's Word, or if it feels like a box you check before moving on with your day, you might be spiritually nearsighted. That's when you can see what's right in front of you, but everything in the distance is blurry. It means we move through the motions of devotion without the right heart posture. We "lose sight" of 'why' we go to God's Word in the first place. Holy leisure helps us refocus our attention on who...

The Pursuit of Holy Leisure: Enjoying God in Everyday Places is born! I must admit, it's a little overwhelming, and there's a lot unknown at this point. It's a similar feeling to driving away after dropping your kids off at college. Your heart somehow detaches from your body, and you've got to let...
