"Pride Month" and Answering Something with Nothing

Against "Children's Church"

Over the weekend, X user Luke Simmons stirred up some controversy with the following take [https://x.com/lukedsimmons/status/2071328498178777357] about a church he attended: Visited a healthy church in another state today… While it was sweet to see some families worshipping together, I was grieved by how distracted parents were by their small children. In my view, everyone would have been better served by utilizing the kids ministry. Weird thing to be grieved by, but apparently it caused him emotional distress to see parents having to train their children in worship. This take brought about a good deal of debate about the validity of children’s church, including takes on both sides on a post I made [https://www.facebook.com/jackwilkie89/posts/pfbid02PotakgSck9DgLsyURex537qWRfgRhHXu6ZwgxHQHPFUyj7DrWEuR4YG2xHeixgeDl] about the matter.

The "Steps of Salvation"

I semi-jokingly made a post the other day about printing up t-shirts of the above image, but the response was so great that I actually made it happen. Grab a shirt or a mug at my Etsy store [https://www.etsy.com/shop/ChurchReset?ref=shop_profile&listing_id=4519671978]. At the same time, I got a number of comments about the list, and I thought it presented a good opportunity to talk about the “steps of salvation” as they’re often understood. jackwilkie.co [http://jackwilkie.co] This is a public episode.
