28 SEP 2026 · In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus keeps returning to the same pattern: "You have heard that it was said," and then, "But I tell you." He is not correcting the Old Testament. Jesus is on the hillside correcting what the religious teachers had done with it.

14 SEP 2026 · It took 99 days to extinguish the fires.
Last week we marked the 25th anniversary of 9/11. My parents' generation remembers where they were when John F. Kennedy was killed. I vaguely remember the Challenger exploding on television. But for Generation X and many millennials, 9/11 is the event in American history most seared into our minds. If you are under 25, you were not alive.

7 SEP 2026 · A woman in her 20s at your church has an Instagram bio that reads, before her name, before a single photo: ADHD. Anxiety. CPTSD. Not what she loves or enjoys. Just a diagnosis to frame her life.
The rising generation has received more therapy than any generation before it. The results are not subtle.

24 AUG 2026 · You talk to a friend and walk away from the conversation convinced you heard exactly what they said and meant, only to find out you misunderstood what they were trying to tell you. Has that happened to anyone else? https://trainingleadersinternational.org/mondayafter/
17 AUG 2026 · Well. I struck a nerve last week. Go back and https://trainingleadersinternational.org/mondayafter/81/the-people-of-the-book-who-dont-read.
Here's the main thrust, stripped down: you can live a godly life without ever cracking a book, including the Bible. You cannot live a godly life apart from the regular gathering of God's people. Full stop. https://trainingleadersinternational.org/mondayafter/
10 AUG 2026 · You can read.
You've been able to read since you were a small child, so long that you can't remember what it felt like not to. You can't look at a stop sign and not read it. Literacy has rewired your brain. And because you read in English, you've been shaped by a particular civilization — its categories, its assumptions, its way of organizing the world. You were educated in subjects that make almost no difference to your daily life, and it never occurred to you to ask why. Reading is the water you swim in. https://trainingleadersinternational.org/mondayafter/
3 AUG 2026 · Ecclesiastes 10 is a chapter about how small things ruin big things — dead flies in the perfume, one sinner destroying much good. Qohelet walks through an upside-down world where fools sit in high positions and princes walk like slaves. But before he describes that world, he tells you how to live in it: "If a ruler's anger rises against you, do not leave your post; calmness can lay great offenses to rest" (Ecclesiastes 10:4). Do not leave your post. Do not flee, do not explode, do not match his agitation with yours. Stay, and stay calm. https://trainingleadersinternational.org/mondayafter/
27 JUL 2026 · "As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife." — Proverbs 26:21 (NIV)

20 JUL 2026 · "There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God." (Psalm 46:4) Psalm 46 mentions water twice, and the contrast is the whole point.
