Ah the insufferable Brent Musburger. Hanging on to a narrative like an animal to a shiny object in a trap.

Can your imagine being the advisor of a new grad student looking at topics like this?

Elite institutions and people failed every single moral test. It'll be up to all the second tier people to rebuild.

That's really bad for the practice is Christianity. I wish Stetzer intuited that instead of saying "of course; this is the order of things".

LoL. It's like Ross Douthat. He wants to be respectable and declare himself to be above support of Trump, but deep in his heart he wants to be free like Pinocchio wants to be a real boy.

Meanwhile 10-year interest rates continue to *rise.* Significant because:
1. Trump keeps (falsely) claiming they're falling
2. Usually rates *do* fall when there's a stock market rout!
3. Some debate about why this weird thing is happening. Capital flight? Inflation fears? People hoarding cash?

Ok that part? That sounds like the fall of what was once a fashion. Like Promise Keepers fell out of favor because it wasn't manly enough and the fundies basically started pushing *hard*.

Adjacent to this, I'm thinking of carrying around more cash and leaving my phone at the house out of a desire to reduce my position data footprint.

asterisk because i think we look at that period of stability deeply red rose-colored glasses. when people think prosperity they don’t think “family of six sharing a 1200 sq ft home living largely on canned goods and hand me downs” but that was the reality

FWIW the very existence of literary canon and the Norton Anthology for English lit is still debated (or mocked?) in academic circles. It shares a lot of features with other social taxonomy efforts like this one.

But y'know, that would require a real reckoning about the existence of black church institutions and the white church's (yes, ours) role in that.

Like, it's right there, man! There's historical reasons that happened but you're not going to count the cost while the institution distorts itself into pretzels?

Ben do you remember an article Ed Stetzer wrote describing white Evangelicals as ~70% Republican and that being "simply math"? I know the point he was making, but the thing that still wrenches me to this day is that he never saw that as a gaping wound in the church body.
