A few months ago, I got on the show and announced that I’m launching a new min series called “This is War”. As I thought about it yesterday and today, it got a lot clearer. Welcome to the 92nd episode of the Think on These Things podcast.

I've been offline mostly for the last few days, and last week was The Week of Difficult Conversations. If I'm completely honest with you, life is pretty hard, but I'm going to tell you why I'm not crashing out.

The presence of disagreement is not equal to the absence of belonging. #thinkonthesethings #clarity #confidence

Somehow I've learned how challenges invite opportunities for wonder over worry. #thinkonthesethings #clarity #confidence

Challenges and trials come to make us stronger. They are a reminder to lean into the source of your strength—joy.

I want to talk today about something that is really (really, really) important. We all go through hardship. We all go through good times. We all go through bad times. We all go through happy and sad. But there is a marked difference between good and evil.Things that are good are very easy to define. Here's the cheat sheet: Is it of use? Is it of value? Is it holding potential?Key topics touched on today: The Importance of FriendshipsGood vs. EvilBPA 1:20Hate SpeechDavid "d4vd" + Celeste story (donation link for Celeste's family below)Charlie Kirk MemorialPrayers for Tom HollandHelp Lay Celeste Rivas Hernandez to Rest Here:https://gofund.me/724c60926

Rest in Peace to Charlie Kirk.

Today, we're doing something that's NEVER been done before on the Think on These Things podcast – we're starting a miniseries, and the title of that series is inspired by a bunch of stuff that's been going on in both my personal life as well as in the world. And it perfectly encapsulates some of the things I want to talk about very specifically. The title of this miniseries "This is War".  

During this miniseries, I will talk about a series of events that led me to write out what it is that I believe, including a formal presentation of The Sainthood Manifesto (from The Discipleship Manifesto). 

You're really gonna wanna hear what's inside that. 

Not shared in this episode is the research and commentary on the negative connotation often ascribed to manifestos, however, we will talk about some things happening in the world like with Sarah Jakes Roberts and the Woman Evolve conference, and the Cracker Barrel saga.
