Soft reset is in the bible, parking the porcupine & deactivating the exploding Hamster, curiosity is a good thing, refocus on practicality, where the rubber meets the road.
Your shout mate 🦘🇦🇺
Characters, the harshness of humanity, a massive redemptive curve, argument for a Saviour, don’t buy your milk from them, just like God, spoiler alert, baby Vs child
На здравје 🇲🇰
Did you say God did it, confused - frightened - pregnant, broken-hearted but maintaining integrity, embracing stigma, life is valuable, stepdad of the year
Prosit 🇱🇻
Incarnation = identify, limitations, frustration without sin, the sharp end of human brokenness, modelling, imitation and speckled sticks, being the incarnation.
Bottoms up 🍻
Special reduction sauce, change agents, the portrait of God, the essence of incarnation, entering into each others reality, the kenotic lifestyle, the taste of those you meet, crucifying the ego, disciplinary structures that buffet you, replacing instead of reflecting, touching the leper, love as justice, incarnation in witness and presence.
What is a Christian?, turning up to the barren lands, cracking the compass, exclusive to our worldview, selfish Christians, embrace the darkness, genuine table fellowship, incarnational Christian mission, undermining the witness of others, who gets the last piece, an abiding taste of love, the novelty of spirituality, the bullseye of spiritual gifts, behavioural activation.
Drying the lake, supposed to till, rain makers and soil servers, tools of the tiller, digesting without Jesus, a pavlova without any insides, the cross bearing discipleship factor, aware of presence, extra gears, slamming cups.
Is that you, one step at a time, everything becomes a byproduct, called to worship, negative voices and naysayers, the pioneer call, guard your heart, putting him first, who you are called to?
Будем здоровы 🪆
Shout out Ambrose, Aussie meat & Sri Lankan curry, a different voice, don’t despise small beginnings, lives changed and a movement grows, keeping your heart, successors are success, Young people by the 1000’s, stop the meeting, don’t die in a Tuk Tuk, a strategic generation.
Будем здоровы 🪆
Getting to know God, the farmer and his wife, ever present, everything about me says something about me, tangential application, speaking genealogies, the meadows of our own imagination.

- Pop culture filters- Re-imaging God- Dig a bit deeper- Frames of reference- Neutral headspace- Make the Bible say what we think it should be saying- Faithful interpretation- Cultural filters- Engaging arguments from silence- Complicating everything- In the essentials, we have unity. In the non-essentials, we have love
Fundamentals, Linguistic, Literary, Cultural, Theological, context is everything…
건배 🇰🇷
Accountability, this is God’s story, human writers, Consistency, don’t mess with intent, Controls, the bible doesn’t need restraint - we do!
Nazdravlje 🇭🇷
Studying how to study, framework you can use, just grab one or two things, John Walton, faithful rather than right, the importance of community.
Prost 🌭
The making of a message, influences, common goal, principles, connection, tension, content, real life, action.
На здравје 🇲🇰
70+, point of first mention, literalizing metaphors, this is all one story, ‘fulfil’ not ‘abolish’, 3rd millennia cultural filter, the story is going somewhere, unredeeming images, individual waypoints, it worked even if we don’t know how.
Prost 🍺
Not wrong but less than helpful, atonement is not a dirty word, couldn't God just forgive us? a big angry version of us, it's other, God’s heartbreak, theories aren't solid, 2023 pop culture vision goggles, Christus Victor.
Choc tee 🇹🇭
Time to end the transgression, online smorgasbord, tummies and belts. It’s foolishness, the place of humility, a disease called MOG’s, let us remove your disillusion, the temptation of spectation, unfortunately accountable, implementation over information.
乾杯 🇯🇵
Recorded live at an ACC Pastors meeting, we explore the opportunities the church has to reach and impact the next generation, specifically Generation Z. How we can engage with them and support them.
The importance of giving young people hope, creating authentic community, speaking truth into their lives, and guiding them in understanding their identity. We'll look at challenges Gen Z faces, such as loneliness, shifting values, and the search for truth.
Connection to the creator, everyone worships something, things of wood and tin, bowing down to your own opinions, you God spirit truth, dust is dust, stuck on form, following ancient footsteps, surrender of will, not always convenient, allegiance vs autonomy, conformed to the image.
Fenékig 🥛
It’s elemental, does it work, what’s happening in you, distraction, self-centricity, listening to your own prayers, we are the rabbits, role playing with God, doubts and fears compound, the answer is not in the problem, find a quiet place.
Dô 🇻🇳
Warning: potentially offensive, St Stephen, 51 verses deep, savage shift, OT whistle-stop tour, humanity on display, an unnecessary death, saint-ifying people, bland insight, hope or accusation, how not to preach, anti-wisdom, circumstantial lenses, effective good news.
乾杯 🎌
What?! spiritual measuring stick, the rootstock and the branches, if I can ‘go’ I can leave, one dimensional spirituality, it’s who we are, duality, be life, rivers within, kingdom pot luck, ticking the box, out of the bubble, training wheels for life.
Sláinte ☘️
God is good all the time, myth of redemptive violence, where is the good news in that, partial images vs exact representation, God’s children tell the story, filling in the blanks with human DNA, the elemental definition, the love thesis, this is how you act like God, it’s bigger than this, the ultimate measuring stick.
Pro 🇮🇩
Culture wars, when your team continually makes own goals, truth without relationship, scripture is primarily written for a believing church not an unbelieving world, resurrection is the message, power not polish, social commentators, run in your lane, why aren’t we talking about Jesus
Skál 🇮🇸 ❄️
Reading the next verse, the Jay Dubs, where’s my ‘landing coffee’, mud on the inside of your windscreen, personal filters, tempering our bias, post-resurrection problems, Jesus as judge and destroyer, sin is out life is in, identifying the real villain, God’s the good guy
Egészségedre 🇭🇺
Live from Country X, go make disciples, His last command our first priority, this guy knows everyone, political religious caste issues, the Father’s love, from the inside out, no props, power not polish, willing vessels, the less you have the more you trust, moving in faith, miracles, witchcraft submits, joy unexplainable, sitting with martyrs, what to do next.
לחיים 🇮🇱
Live from the Philippines, simple relational discipleship, it’s always about the love of Christ, simplicity, relational to intentional to missional, celebrate victory, eyes wide open, pagans pray long, start with S.O.A.P., wherever you are is your mission field, fold your blanket, character first, we’re partners, decisions at the grass roots, teamwork, not structure but disciples!
Å’kålè ma’luna 🌺
Hey! the danger of sterile theories, softening your application, getting gracified, people - not books - make disciples, knowing their story, Kingdom character testing, fencing cliffs, disciplining other people’s children
ΥΓΕΙΑ 🏛️
Reading between the lines, Jewish principles of interpretation, the not so obvious, when scripture hints, transformation trumps all, your heart is the filter, of Harlots and Heroes, don’t let your past define you
À votre santé 🥖
We love it all, monkey see monkey do, about fathers, a heart softened by prayer, give me specifics, fire up, release them, sending capacity vs seating capacity, you’re in the army now son, Mr Bean & you, never forget the basics, over nourished and under exercised, one chapter ahead, stick with who you can see, deodorant is a good thing, just ask.
Zum wohl 🇩🇪
Our best friend, wisdom where art thou, when you know you shouldn’t, pay now play later, great servants but terrible masters, nothing ugly here, in the presence, no regret, good vs God, strategic humility, the safest place to be.
Salud 🇪🇸
Going to the principal's office, familiar misconceptions, building with words, the love sandwich, exactly the same but different, hideous assumptions vs inspiring words, wanna get stoned, the secret sauce of the Spirit, it’s elementary, all gifts in all people, be a prophesier, can of worms, to tongues or not to tongues - that is the question.
Santé 🇫🇷
We're pretty sure he meant to, show me a Scripture, looking for what you can get away with, is this a sin, all it takes is a bit of a push, don't run red lights, does that lead to a full life, nasty things on Facebook, how to have a life that flourishes, pretty good advice most of the time, his heart is for us to flourish, it's actually a low view of sex, potion makers.
Kippis 🇫🇮
Don’t own the outro, don’t just discuss it, please be Christlike, hearing without hearing, get out of the way Jesus I’m trying to follow you, hiding in plain sight, long before the cross, he must increase and I must decrease, he’s talking to me, the pronoun game, let him speak, pure motives.
🇨🇿 Na zdravi
A thought about Barabbas, not a back flip, the guilty go free, two sons of the Father, at the tip of a spear, Nazi Germany and occupied France, even Jesus had a zealot, no random criminal, I finally saw myself in the story, when we scream for Barabbas too.
Cheerio ☕️
Is it I, doubt makes faith visible, good for who, love enters the pain, enemy of the Empire, breaking the cycle of violence, uncertainty, even for the disobedient, preaching in the afterlife, destruction reversed, looking in all the wrong places, a life giving force, Jesus rose from the dead - Will you?
🇩🇰Skål
Some of the best swearers, scapegoating problems, a life of profane, edifying the hearer, restless evil, untameable poison, slinging mud, contagious slander, a safety deposit box for children, white faces, interpersonal coding, stealing knowledge.
Gesondheid! 🇳🇦
The sacred object, the fire of desire, cause trumps what, object desire and object cause, a ruined image of heaven, the memories of sacrifice, external objects, do you feel lack?, god as the anti-sacred object, fruit is the antagonist, forbiddance raises desire, urge to urge, ransacking the holy of holies, the limits of God's presence, static existence, an eternity of meaningful exploration, decisions that pronounce our inadequacies, never late in a v8, 50 million dollar version of your discontented self, christians charged with atheism, God is real, a guy controlling the switchboard in the sky, death is the enemy, the lie of self-importance, burdens no-one can carry.
Stin iya mas! 🇨🇾
Dynamite on site, formulaic challenges, how you see God, the name of God, pieces of inspired dirt, set apart, trusted with breath, hallowed be your name, an epistle for all to read, the yes response, a 24 hour gift, the worst guy in the bible, a culture of wasting breath, anxiety, failure to be present, utilising your breath, swinging this sacred object, an excuse to swear.
Le'chaim! 🇮🇱
No relish, a Labrador in the foyer, rest and cease, the sun having a nap, fighting the season, staying up till 3am, overworking for riches, smelling the roses, sabbath rest, how we need to look, good pride gets you out of bed, Jesus wants to heal it, training wheels, relax for easy power, get your no back.
Skaal! 🇩🇰
Ticking off life goals, gen-z sounds cooler, you do you, your truth, give it up to find it, in control of my own life, fake authenticity, being put together, unfixed truths, 3yo’s unlocking iPhones, future on screens, getting smashed by what you prohibit, screen habits, be vulnerable but not gross.
Le'chaim! 🇮🇱
The Holy Spirit magic eight ball, telephone lines to God, writing tomorrow's headlines, the creative power of God's word, curveballs, smarter and nicer than I'd ever be, dressing up rebukes as prophecy, yes but I leak, the on-ramps to prophecy, using heavenly eyes, speaking to men through men, almond croissants.
Yamas! 🍻🇬🇷
Jesus the lucky talisman, in him, whitewashing our desires, pray His will be done, in his purpose = in his name, training wheels, human utterance can’t express it, complex prayer is a bust, no formulas, fewer words more faith, the prophets of Baal in church, super spiro's, God sounds like a better me, the road less travelled.
Živjeli 🇭🇷
Faith exists in the tension, unanswered prayer, faith fills the space between, grow your stride, faith returns in spite of, when the rug gets pulled, can you get it right, the genie in the bottle, don’t miss the other thing, life is a blip, where intimacy grows, changing landscapes, prayer is about us & God too
干杯 🇹🇼
Working through the paradoxes, are we talking about God accurately? God is bigger than genre, where experience with God and language collide, where experience with God and church collide, gut level relationship, obligation vs transformation, everything in the bible is true and some of it actually happened, the power of story, being curious again, faith in scripture rather than God
Salut 😸
Stealth mode Sarah, the transformational experience of internship, so painful to be me, ignoring the internal voice of accusation, who you were created to be, our prayer for the entire human race, integrous decisions, should we even be talking about ‘women in leadership’? Observations.
į sveikatą 🇱🇹
Flat text, the story of God and the story of us, we see him more clearly, through Jesus eyes, an angry person projected onto God, a bunch of stuff going on, you don’t have to be dogmatic, only reading what you agree with, you’re allowed to spit out the bones.
Pura vida 🇨🇷
New Year, whats been helpful, hamartia, live in the safe space, do I look like Jesus while doing this, WWJD, seeing yourself in the human story, from this compassion flows, God is in all things, He’s with me in spite of me.
فى صحتك: 🇪🇬
The tip of the Colombian spear,Man of God syndrome, old enough to teach, why so few? painful transitions, forgetting Jesus, it’s about questions as much as answers, he had sayings too, live as a witness
¡Salud! 🇨🇴
Life begins at 40, good is sometimes lazy, revelation often accompanies pain, the danger of unanchored study, mission bursts the bubble, experience tests theory, in the trenches of humanity, test theory in the field, no such thing as a holy war, the pain is in you, stop talking and show me, pain breeds integrity, compassion requires pain, cerebral understanding to heart of compassion
Biba 🇬🇺
Rusty holden ute, cow dribble and cockroaches, undercover parking for camels and donkeys, a crumby space is enough, just open up, God doesn’t mind, humble and willing, the love is there, holy reception desks, the roughest space can become holy ground, The hotel guest who cleans the room.
Aung myin par say 🇲🇲
God’s inclusivity, picking teams and the shame game, Jesus felt it too, a great place to give birth, shepherds not kings, the house of bread, nobodies in the middle of nowhere, lamb roast, is this really your milk? He sees something different, undisqualified, the things you’re embarrassed about, guilt and shame are not your identity, realising you’re accepted for who you are, God knows who you are, fully known and fully loved.
Наздраве 🇧🇬
A Christmas miracle, woven into our culture, faith for a car park, divine spark, when God is your only option, the miraculous is still possible, faith comes by hearing, it’s impossible for God to do nothing, something supernatural, create space for seed, beyond the spirit of the age, internal shift external transformation.
Živjeli 🇧🇦
Levi has absconded, Slater & Madi, affirming what I already believed, accepting conflicting images, it’s ok to go there, explaining incongruities away, authentic faith can stand it, questions that need to be asked, read broadly, community hermeneutic, add ons, it’s faith not science, unfathomable yet infinitely knowable, it seems to be saying…, facets of the diamond build up.
Cheers Cobber 🦘
Church is God and people, God + humanity in scripture, the paradox of King David, a dark dark world, the end of the story gives the sense, arc, the living word is the filter, go marry a prostitute, terrible sins harsh judgement is reasonable, mercy triumphs over judgement, we gave atheists their hermeneutic, we’re all human
Nuş olsun 🇦🇿
Living it is believing it, Theology breeds methodology, identity crisis, the university of Babylon, your truth my truth who’s truth, dog’s have more rights than people, don’t trigger me, dynamiting your faith, don’t panic, pandemonium at Caesarea Philippi, they need you, discipleship happens in community, organised organics, stop the hysteria around deconstruction
Salud 🇦🇷
The implications of flourishing, sin as pain relief, sex and other centred pleasuring, flourishing as the root of every human ethic, the Jesus shaped life, aspiration vs warning, being called upward, being known for what you stand for not what you’re against, God dwelling with sinners, Jesus opens a big can of grace…
فى صحتك: 🇦🇪
We see things not as they are but as we are, bad Batman movies, feminism & men behaving badly, where was God? what is the creed I’m being asked to embrace? to be read at camel’s pace, believing the wrong story about yourself, eisegesis and hijacking the narrative, so good it must be shared, the grand ethic - make the world flourish…
Gëzuar 🇦🇱
Get your Teefy on, new generation questions, throwing a soft ball to your critics, the lens of Jesus, when Jesus is too lamb-y for us, the myth of redemptive violence, Christianity without Christ, the hardest truth to embrace, taking every opportunity to die, scripture refracted through the lens of Christ, Cruciform revelation…
Gesondheid 🇿🇦
Don’t miss it, literary devices were once oratory, thief in the sheep pen, flipping roles, unlikely hero, humility sees the kingdom, we’re dumb too, cheapening the image, a ticket out of the main event, He meets you where you’re at, clearer and clearer.
Mabuhay 🇵🇭
Gidday, getting it wrong, wicked king, using it, letting it read you, reading scripture with murder in your heart, twisted believer, blinded by own agenda, dying on the wrong hill, let scripture read us, proof texts, it’s in the application
Tulgatsgaaya 🇲🇳
We are live! Canon, something old something new, it was already working, tattered cookbooks, the value of argument, a distillation of time, lots of AD’s, the risk factor, codified practice, paying the price, btw I got my centuries wrong, how did they decide, transformational, what has it done in you?
Na zdrowie 🇵🇱
The Aprockra-what?, reading outside the lines, Inspired Vs Inspirational, Tobit & Piety, Judith & the warrior who ends war, a particular set of skills, Greek Esther & sexual slavery, Maccabee’s & Alexander the Great, the Three holy children & the present reality of hell, read a bit broadly.
Saúde 🇵🇹
We got an email from Radilaide, let’s get technical, this is not the shizzle, the cutting room floor, fire the full clip, who was inspired, the distillation of time, some things shine brighter, theoretically speaking, words change, you can hear the human in it.
Priekā 🇱🇻
Hey Columbia, wow - Jesus was Jewish, kaleidoscope of action, everyone is religious, the bible is way progressive, never far away, it’s all connected, gear to the audience, as if I didn’t know anything, careful which image, ebbs and flows, provision for the journey, keep the conversation alive, preach the top 40, curiosity is good, garden variety Christians, Dr Jesus
Skål🇸🇪
Do I need to go to church? Define ‘Christian’ please, not a fan of brand, following and learning on the journey, common to humanity, giving the leftovers, what is church, called aside to discuss, holy handsies, well equipped, WE, facets of truth, your purpose within His, walking to the beat of a different drum.
živeli 🇷🇸
Thus they smote him, Bruce Almighty was right, retributive Vs redemptive, authority to judge people, judicial Vs biblical, “you can’t handle the truth”, Motley Crew, anointed deliverer, God plays Rugby League, I feel your pain, declared righteous, be glad Jesus will judge you, a beautiful gospel.
Proost 🇳🇱
The good news V moral alignment, the strange bedfellows of pride and shame, He’s looking for you, God’s not angry ~ you are, He’s already there, you’ve got a story, it happens in us, best forgivers in the whole world, prioritise forgiveness over worship, perfect community, dull conscience or clean conscience, reconciliation is it.
Будем здоровы 🇷🇺
Competing messages, which God are we talking about? The patchwork God, this story is going somewhere, the end of the book gives sense to the beginning, it’s Christocentric, he is our hermeneutic key, the tip of the iceberg, victory & identity
SNa zdravie 🇸🇰
Which hell? There could be more to this, yes but only in proportion to scripture, some people love it, don’t take it to the bank, humility, you won’t know till you get there
Наздраве 🇧🇬
Bible Cliches, the bully and the big brother, I’m good - you’re stuffed, God thinks the way I do, God is on humanities side, them & us, there are no outsiders, He’s at work in them all.
Bottoms up!🍺
Christian Cliches, what we unwittingly say, infuriating comfort, I may be a simple man - but I do know what love is, people do control God doesn’t, life on a broken planet, the creative power of love
Salud 🇪🇸
Inflexibility leads to disillusion, relax the need to be right, knowing the unknowable, absoluteness, married to God, cut off my what? Ignorance is bliss, fighting naked, love your schoolteacher, don’t forget nuance, just a theory, blessed are the flexible.
Sei gesund 🦞
You are what you eat, you won’t outrun your diet, I wish I never, who pays the wages, it’s inherent, the front gate, pig food burrito’s, the perfect picture, that’s gospel, you will not outrun a bad burrito, heaven’s gift.
Chai yo 🇹🇭
The inner world, a terrible trio, don’t step in the FOOPO, true confessions, Ground of being, when life sucks, live in your own skin, beware religious conformity, hell right now, you too can be miserable, bible guilt, the fire breathing dragon, Whooshka! Bridle that pony, a massive promise.

Terviseks 🇪🇪
Shovel Supplies, in defence of hell, fish sauce & 3D mashups, place of eternal torment?, chaining monsters, the abyss the grave and a hell of a life, taking Jesus literally, things that burn us, the hell smoothie, above the average mortals pay grade, called to serve love and proclaim, the hell we face every day.
Cheers 🍻
Wiggle room, beware the hill of certainty, worship of scripture, destroying with the truth, logic bullying, circling back to convictions, holding truth loosely, teasing the truth out, can of worms, venom, heavenly apprentices, the difference between a Christian and a disciple, do we hold the truth as a weapon or as something life giving? Một hai ba, yo 🇻🇳
The problem with going somewhere else, weird flying babies, beyond words, present reality, just a little slice, same thing different levels, not where but when, live the future now, celestial whiplash, has the Kingdom come? Every preacher’s dream question, heaven is now and. Iechyd da 🏴
Theology fertiliser, the ‘D’ word, art restoration, you owe your faith to someone as flawed as you, pagan imaginations, bible bashing, mind filters, orthodox belief and a pagan imagination, God or Zeus? God certainly does not exist, the Divine Dance, it’s meant to be Good News, it’s an us & us thing, blessed to be Life-Giving! Noroc Sanatate 🇷🇴
Unfinished Business. Bible delete, Irish temper, introducing the wrath of a bad burrito, big angry human, destroying destruction, swim between the flags, am I the angry one? Inner turmoil, the space you’re not meant to be in, maybe Jesus IS the answer? Reconciled but incomplete, wrath is now, freedom! Proscht 🇨🇭
Get Your Tickets! Blended, the absolutely swear jar, big moments, till something better comes along, I’m ok, I’m just a devil, process & participation, works from grace, life in 3D, were - are - will be…
