Jesus Doesn't Beg

In John 6 we see the account of Jesus feeding the 5,000. The crowd’s instant reaction was to declare that He truly was the prophet they had been anticipating and was the one they wanted as their king. Even as He got away with His apostles and crossed the sea, they still pursued Him. Isn’t that exactly what we’d want? Thousands of people who believe in Jesus and are ready to follow Him, even making Him their king? Even the greatest of our seeker-sensitive, producer/consumer churches couldn’t dream of starting with a dedicated following 5,000 strong. If Jesus believed in our business-like approach, He would have been well on His way. Read more, subscribe, and/or support at jackwilkie.co [http://jackwilkie.co] This is a public episode.

Who's Going to Challenge the Women?

Various corners of the Christian world have also echoed that call. And, in a lot of ways, it has worked. Young men are growing more religious. Many of them want to settle down, marry, and have kids.Laziness and aimlessness are frowned upon in ways they weren’t before.Pornography addiction is no longer a “Most guys do it but nobody talks about it” issue. The calls to walk away and the resources to help are abundant. There is certainly still plenty of work to do, but young men have come a long way. But that leaves the question... who is going to challenge the women? Read the rest at jackwilkie.co [http://jackwilkie.co] where you can subscribe for free or become a supporting member!

The Delayed Marriage Disaster

On this week’s stream, I examine some statistics regarding the increasingly higher ages at which Americans are getting married. Topics: * Discussing some possible reasons why the median age is climbing so high * Explaining why this matters so much more than most people think * Offering suggestions for how to help young people toward prioritizing marriage and childbearing NOTE: I’ve been doing the livestreams at 12 CT on Wednesdays, to mixed results. I’m thinking about moving to a regularly scheduled weeknight stream.

Modesty Isn't Situational

As summer begins, modesty becomes a topic worthy of addressing yet again. It remains one of the most controversial, and therefore most avoided, topics of modern Christian life.
