Have you listened to the Humble Skeptic podcast yet? In the first episode, Shane explores faith and doubt through an investigation of his dad’s account about being in Billy Joel’s “Piano Man” bar.

🎵 Listening to Copper State, an Arizona-inspired, jazz-country album from Arthur Vint & Associates released today. It’s great. (HT: Tucson Sentinel)

Interesting stat regarding the recent Arizona primary elections: “Statewide, there were 131 races with only one candidate, which comes to about one-fourth of all the seats that were up for grabs in the primary elections.” (Tucson Agenda)

Edinburgh Theological Seminary is currently offering a great set of classes for less than $65.
Open to anyone, the Saturday Courses are an excellent way of gaining more than would normally be offered in church on Sunday whilst being less demanding than a full-time theological course.
And if you’re not in Scotland, you can take them online.

Finished reading: Christ-Centered Biblical Theology: Hermeneutical Foundations and Principles by Graeme Goldsworthy. Solid read. I have a better view of the Davidic Covenant now. CCBT is best for those familiar with the BT field. If you are a beginner, check out From Eden to New Jerusalem. 📚

Amazing time-lapse video of a storm forming over Tucson. Watch for when the rain starts to fall.

From Psalm 137:1
The rest of the psalm describes why they wept, including the sorrow caused by a brother. I’ll be preaching on these topics this Sunday.

If you don’t know how texting practices and expectations vary among age groups, this is a fun way to learn.

@ReaderJohn We’re no Seattle but we do get about 11.5 inches of annual rainfall. That’s about 1.4x more than the utility provides each year to the whole city! Not saying we wouldn’t happily take more though.

@vincentritter I have three teens. The phone thing is tough! Jonathan Haidt has a new book out on this subject. He lays out the ideas and suggests action items we need to take as a society. Here’s a summary on the Hidden Brain podcast. The slow burn jcrabapple@dmv.community talks about is part of the problem.
