Understanding therapy culture from different generations: This article from Sheryl Jacob resonates with my experience in the counseling room with different generations. “Millennials (born 1981-1996) grew up with therapy as mainstream - encouraged to talk about trauma, set boundaries, process their inner child, and name anxiety. While this openness is good, this generation also normalised many struggles the Church should have addressed long ago.”
Be drunk with love: J.A. Medders encourages, “We get filled with the Spirit—when bottles (barrels) of the vintage gospel hit our bloodstream, our Blood Gospel Content rises above the legalistic limit.”
Six ways that Christianity answers the problem of evil: T.M. Suffield succinctly and pastorally responds, “Our theology has to have a place for mystery. This doesn’t answer many questions and it doesn’t win debates, but if we’ve encountered a God who is powerful and good we do have to trust him when we haven’t got a clue why he has allowed the world to be as it is.”
How the global religious landscape has changed: The Pew Research Center finds that the percentage of Christians shrunk by 1.8%, Buddhists shrunk by 4.1%, and Muslims increased by 1.8%.
Mapped: states with the most road rage: This one surprised me. The most road rage in the nation is in Louisiana. The second-least is California (!). New Jersey scoring poorly tracks with my experience there. What are the worst states you’ve driven in?
