Always has been.

Was it because of his novelty hat!?

Thanks for this reminder. I read this a few years ago and while it made sense, I think right now I’m more primed to actually experience it. Halfway through it now.

Well said

Yeah, anything that looks like easy street is usually the wrong street.

For me I think it’s still clicking. It’s brought on by the chaos of our age. I used to think the framing of good vs evil was reductionist, but now that feels visceral and so I’d prefer to hang with Jesus than the satanic pedos I guess. Build community with like minded folks and opt the fuck out of whatever it is those weirdos are doing.

I was discussing the renaissance of Christianity and return to Christ the other day with some friends. For our generation, elder millennial I guess you’d say, we went through the staunch materialist new atheist movement and we were righteous pricks in our 20s about how dumb it was to believe in God (2000s). Then came the Peterson era (2016-2019ish) where we decided that materialist scientism didn’t have what we needed, so we approached Christianity, safely, from the analytic psychological and philosophical chair. Peterson was famous for stopping short of calling himself a Christian, even as he did psychological symposiums on biblical stories. Now we’re here, and I’m done with the sophistry and theatrics, and I’m just surrendering to God and cultivating that relationship. I’m acting on, and practicing faith, instead of pussyfooting around it. God comes to you when you’re ready.

Wiping off the buttons on the treadmill at the gym tells me you probably reported your neighbours for having company over in 2020.

Actually this is kind of a lie. The Freedom Convoy was a beautiful Canadian moment. Not exactly cohesive though since most of the country hated us for it.

The man has definitely had an outsized impact in me getting after it.
