Growing in Grace: November 2016

Watching 'Arrival' and Waiting for Advent - Travis and I went to 'Arrival' last week and left the theater feeling dazed and thoughtful. I appreciated this piece on the film, particularly in light of Advent.

The Life-Changing Power of a Table - A beautiful piece. "Tables are places to eat, connect, laugh, cry, pray, and be human. Most of all, tables are a place to belong and feel included."

Celebrate Christmas with Lore Ferguson Wilbert - This was a lovely, reflective piece.

Lecrae: Here Are Books That Have Helped My White Friends Better Understand Racial Injustice - I'm reading one of the books on this list right now, 'Just Mercy', and it's teaching me a lot.

7 Books That Changed My Life - Here's Russell Moore's list.

Cultivated Podcast - Here's a brand-new podcast that's rocking it. Mike Cosper interviews people about work and vocation and art. The episode with Bret Lott was fantastic.

They Excommunicated My Dad - This was heavy, good stuff.

The Best Two Minutes You'll Hear on TV All Year About the Election - Truth.

Denny Burk's Few Thoughts on the Election - Here's a short piece that was another excellent, thoughtful response to the election.

Set An Example in Your Purity - "Young Christian, you—you, of all people!—are to be the very model of sexual purity. God expects that older people who are struggling with sexual purity will be able to look to you and say, 'I want to be like him' or 'I want to be like her.'"

4 Portraits of Power from a Magazine Rack Near You - "Based on their faithful report, our culture grants power to the strong, the beautiful, the wealthy, and the charismatic."

My Podcast Launches on Friday! - If you're already sick of hearing about Age of Minority, I can only say I'm sorry, because you're going to be hearing even more about it. Especially since our first episode drops on Friday. Sneak preview: Dad and I spend the episode talking about who we are and what the podcast is about. We cover books, bacon, my dad's great preaching voice, hating the Disney Channel, and our cat's cold. It's a good time. You can go to our website here, follow us on Twitter (@AgeofMinority) or like us on Facebook. And watch for Friday!
