“With masculinity in our culture tied so closely to raising children and infertility often viewed as a ‘women’s issue,’ men often face this crisis alone—even in their churches. ”
From @sheridanvoysey, reshared for #NIAW2022:

A timely reshare...
“I truly do wish that a Christian ethical engagement with media was as easy as just quitting all the bad things... Instead, we are faced with a riskier path, a practice of ongoing discernment.”

Pleasantly surprised to find I was cited in the article "Surviving Spiritual Gentrification: When neighborhoods change, how do churches know if they still belong?" Thanks @CTmagazine
Retweeted by Christianity Today UK Christians have led the way in lobbying for age verification for porn sites. The government passed a law requiring them but never put it in place.
There's a lot of support for the move. Parents have seen the impact of porn exposure over the pandemic.

Why keep physical mail in prison?
One inmate who was released in 2016 says he came to know Jesus through a pastor's letters.
He also says the letters exchanged daily with his wife & kids kept his family together and kept himself alive. #SecondChanceMonth christianitytoday.com/ct/2021/octobe…

The one thing we need more than any other, writes @ahc, is a “community of recognition.”

His conversation with @rasoolberry:
christianitytoday.com/ct/podcasts/wh…
Retweeted by Christianity Today The most “seductive promise” of money, writes Andy Crouch, is “abundance without dependence.”
“The more time we spend in the world that money makes, the more we become conformed to its image.”
Adapted from @ahc’s new book:

I agree - this was a great conversation. twitter.com/jackiehillperr…
Retweeted by Christianity Today Just read @CTmagazine's latest Books Newsletter by Matt Reynolds, who is in charge of CT's Books coverage. Very good, as usual.
Retweeted by Christianity Today Pastors don’t hold the place of community esteem they once did.
In a 2020 study, less than a third of Christians said they “definitely” consider a pastor a “trustworthy source of wisdom.”

Daniel did an awesome job summarizing today's oral arguments. twitter.com/CTmagazine/sta…
Retweeted by Christianity Today The justices spun more than a dozen hypothetical prayer scenarios during oral arguments: prayer in a press box, prayer in a huddle, prayer with hands lifted high or into a microphone.
From @danielsilliman:

Said one pastor in Slovakia: “Teenagers are buying food, women are praying with people, one man used his savings to buy jackets for everyone.”

“He had to thank God,” Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said in today's oral arguments over a coach's 50-yard-line prayer. “But why there?”
But the real line the court was trying to find wasn’t marked with field paint.

Retweeted by Christianity Today “Christian empathy moves beyond both instinctual emotions and prescriptions for how to be a good person.”

“The underlying issue causing pastors so much angst right now isn’t the existence of streaming technology or a particular mask policy,” writes @K_Rohane.
“It’s lack of congregational trust.”

Happy Orthodox Easter!
From the CT archives, @daoudkuttab on celebrating Resurrection Sunday in Jordan:
christianitytoday.com/ct/2020/april-…
“Hell was in an uproar because it was done away with.
It was in an uproar because it is mocked.
It was in an uproar, for it is destroyed.
It is in an uproar, for it is annihilated.” twitter.com/CTmagazine/sta…
Retweeted by Christianity Today “Many pastors I know preach ‘exile’ to their congregation—and yet this framework overstates our ‘outsider’ status in society.”
What metaphor should Christians use instead?
christianitytoday.com/ct/2022/april-…
In the world to come, the children of God will “appear by a glorious sea of glass, transparent and full of light and warmth.”
Believers can meditate on this image in times of trouble.
christianitytoday.com/ct/2022/april-…
