  • Interesting convos, needs less Twitter influence

    They have some very interesting conversations on here. I think one perspective that is missing is the outside-Twitter zone - only about 22% of Americans have a Twitter account. There’s a lot of hand wringing here about “hot cultural issues” that could be more useful with some review of available polling data. Public opinion is not nearly what it is made out to be by the hosts and many guests.

    I think they do themselves and their listeners a disservice by spinning up drama that’s been created b... more

  • Unfollowing

    I have been worried about Dr. DeYoung’s ongoing association with the gospel coalition for many years. Now his attacks on Doug Wilson, while still have the log of left leaning gospel coalition in his eye, is too much. I am unfollowing. There are much better places recasts options. I hope and pray Dr. Kevin will flee from the pietistic gc folks.
