The American Justice System Isn’t Broken – It’s Doing Exactly What It’s Designed to Do

Last updated on: September 16, 2015 at 5:53 am By Tim Suttle

“I think our criminal justice system is working as intended. It is only broken to the extent that our society is broken… the lens of criminal justice is the way this country has traditionally regarded black people. I don’t know that anything is broken at all. The deeper question is: are we okay with something on the order of 4,000 African American males per 100,000 being in jail …are we okay with there being a 1 in 3 chance for every... Read more

Who Would You Be If You Lost It All?

Last updated on: September 12, 2015 at 9:42 am By Tim Suttle

Who would you be if you lost it all? I save great questions in the back of my journal. When I start a new one, that’s the first page I copy over to the new journal–every question, every line. I use these questions in times of self-reflection, and when I’m doing spiritual direction with others. This question is going on the list. Who would you be if you lost it all: the spouse, the job, the career, the family, the house, the 401k,... Read more

What We Lost on 9/11 Was Our Sense of Security, & It Never Came Back. What Took Its Place was Fear.

Last updated on: September 10, 2019 at 2:35 pm By Tim Suttle

When we awoke on that morning we all knew we were basically safe & sound. When we went to bed, we all knew we were not. It was an illusion to be sure, but until 9/11 Americans really thought we were secure… we were safe & sound. The most enduring impact of SEP 11 2001 was the loss of any sense of security. It was gone, and it really hasn’t come back. What’s so incredible is that it happened to everybody, and it happened at... Read more

Kim Davis’ Hypocrisy Began the Moment She Became an Agent of the State

Last updated on: September 10, 2015 at 7:59 am By Tim Suttle

I’ve honestly been trying not to weigh in on the Kim Davis situation, because the whole situation smells rotten to me. But there’s a blatant hypocrisy to her position that I haven’t seen anybody mention… so here goes. First off, let me say that I think both sides are wrong in this issue, and both sides are right (at least in a way). Judges like Justice David Bunning are required to compel people to follow the laws, which he did. Kim Davis... Read more

Top 10 Worst Companies in CEO-to-Worker Salary Ratio: You Probably Use Them All

Last updated on: September 8, 2015 at 5:11 am By Tim Suttle

Organized labor has seen better days. Plagued by political corruption, changing economic realities, and poor leadership, labor has been weakening for decades. American Christians seem no different from the rest of Americans who are either ambivalent or even happy about this reality, but healthy labor organizations are essential to our society. Their failure–no matter who is to blame for that–is not a good sign. In the 1950s, the ratio between CEO salary of S&P 500 type companies and their workers was 20-to-1. According... Read more

Kanye’s VMA Speech Is Getting Lots of Love – Not From Me

Last updated on: September 2, 2015 at 5:08 pm By Tim Suttle

I keep seeing media sites taking Kanye’s VMA speech seriously. The worst offender is Slate, and the article that calls it the Greatest Awards Show Acceptance Speech of All Time.” Seriously? The VMA awards have become ever more ridiculous each year. The unofficial theme in 2015 was clearly Idiocracy Live, complete with a Camacho-like presidential address by Kanye (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, watch the clip at the end of this post). The line I keep seeing in the media... Read more

Concussions and Football: Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: August 31, 2015 at 12:20 pm By Tim Suttle

I confess that football season is here, so it’s time for my yearly confession that I love to watch the game of football. However, it is becoming more and more obvious that traumatic brain injury is a consistent side effect of the sport. It’s also becoming obvious that there is no way to make it safe. My confession is that I have always enjoyed this game–I’m the son of a high school football coach–but I’m feeling more and more conflicted... Read more

The End of Revenge: Nonviolence & the American Fascination With Getting Even

Last updated on: August 31, 2015 at 10:01 am By Tim Suttle

When Vester Lee Flanagan left behind his attempts to explain the unexplainable—the reason he shot two former colleagues in cold blood during a live broadcast—the rationale he gave was simple revenge; revenge for the mass shooting at a church in Charleston; revenge for mistreatment by his formal employer. After reading the accounts of his work history and personal issues it seems obvious that Flanagan had some sort of serious personality disorder. So revenge is too simple to be a satisfactory explanation, if... Read more

J.R. Woodward Engages With Shrink at the V3 Blog Today

Last updated on: August 26, 2015 at 11:35 am By Tim Suttle

I am excited to see that J.R. Woodward at V3 Church Planting Movement is engaging with Shrink on his blog today. You can read the full article at his site. J.R. is crashing together themes from Shrink, Slow Church, and the recent attention given to Amazon.com’s work/leadership culture. It’s a pretty interesting read. Here’s a quick excerpt: Too often the church has uncritically adopted the practices of the business world, baptizing them with Christian language, then wondering why we are becoming less like Christ...

Do You Feel the Love? I Feel the Love: Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: August 24, 2015 at 11:28 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that once I get The Mowgli’s song San Francisco stuck in my head, it has a tendency to stay there absolutely all day long. I make no apologies for this, you see, because I’ve been in love with love, and the idea of something binding us together for a long, long time. Anytime I can get someone to transform that idea into a hook that will lodge inside my consciousness in a cheerfully seductive way, I’m all ears… plus songwriter Colin... Read more
