The vast majority of people grappling with the doubt, disillusionment, and spiritual dead ends of a mid-faith crisis don’t want to be there at all. But the doubts did come, and they’re not going to be wished away. www.missioalliance.org/finding-a-pa...

I'm not really the kind of mom who gets sad about my kids growing up. I definitely miss the sweet snuggles of yesteryear, but I really like them now too. But I just realized that this is the first year nobody wants or needs a pool pass. And THAT is SAD. 😭

I don't have a word for this. Heartbreaking? Devastating? Something we have done and cannot now undo? It is all those things but so much more. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Mid-Faith Crisis launches 1 week from today! I'm excited, nervous, very ready to put this project in your hands. It's been a labor of love. There are 2 ways readers can support authors: Preorder and review. So today, would you consider pre-ordering? Look what a reader sent me: MFC in the wild!

"What happens when a spiritually devout person finds herself battling doubts and fears and questions she never asked for, and never wanted? That’s a crisis of faith, or a mid-faith crisis, as we call it." www.crosswalk.com/faith/spirit...

As a Chicagoan, I haven't had this much fun on social media in a very very long time.

"This form of Christianity is rotten to the core. We find a long, long trail of ego-driven wolves cosplaying as shepherds all the way back to … well, as far back as we can see. It’s so different from the Jesus path we thought we started down. Was it all just sleight of hand?" tinyurl.com/yvnpd9f4

Friends, I'm working with my PR person to schedule podcast interviews for Mid-Faith Crisis as it launches next month. If you have a podcast (or radio show, magazine, Substack, blog, conference, event, bookclub, church, etc) and you think we would be a good fit for your people, let me know!

"Therefore, as God’s people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." Words to take seriously if we take the Bible seriously.

Take a deep breath, friends. There are hard things to face and do, but you are loved with an everlasting love.

Friends, can you understand *on Saturday* why Jesus died? Not on Sunday when you see him resurrected. Not when he meets you on the road to Emmaus, has dinner with you, helps you see what his resurrection means. 🧵
