Pastor Punches Kid, but It’s Cool… “There’s Times That Might Be Needed”: A Little Friday Funny

Last updated on: January 23, 2015 at 7:13 am By Tim Suttle

First, let me say that I don’t believe for one minute that this actually happened, at least not in the way that it is described. If it did go down the way he describes it, then it is what you call assault and battery. I watched the clip with a friend who works in youth ministry and he said, “I’m sure he thinks it happened that way… sounds more like his fantasy to me.” Second, I am always wondering when...

Obama’s 2015 State of the Union: Addressing the Biggest Issue of Our Time, Why it Means Everything and Nothing

Last updated on: January 21, 2015 at 9:50 am By Tim Suttle

Wealth inequality is the biggest issue of our time. Immigration reform is coming one way or another. Healthcare has become too popular to completely dismantle. The real issue is that, by next year, the top 1% will possess more of the world’s wealth than the other 99% combined. Addressing carbon emissions and global warming, the ultimate issue, will rise and fall on how the American society chooses to handle the problem of the of wealth inequality. In our society, the poorest Americans are already... Read more

“@Tim_Suttle Your an idiot”: And Other Favorite Ohio State Buckeye Tweets From the Past Two Days

Last updated on: January 16, 2015 at 9:23 am By Tim Suttle

The intersection of sports and religion is tricky, and writing about it is bound to tick some people off. But I had no idea… Up until now, the most vitriol I’ve ever experienced from an article I’ve published has been from the Tea Party, after an article I wrote in 2011. The emails from that article were disturbing beyond anything else I’ve received. That is, until two days ago, when “Urban Meyer, God, & Running Up the Score” ran in The Huffington Post.... Read more

Was God Urban Meyer’s Inspiration in Running Up The Score?

Last updated on: January 14, 2015 at 6:07 am By Tim Suttle

“Is there a bigger hypocrite in college sports than Urban Meyer?” – Mike Ozanian, Forbes So asks Forbes’ Mike Ozanian the day after the inaugural College Football National Title Game. Leading 35 to 20 with 1:43 left in the game, Ohio State was set to go for it on fourth and one from inside the Oregon five yard line. Before the snap, two Oregon offensive linemen jumped offsides, giving the Buckeyes a first down and the ballgame. Tradition says you line up in... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: January 12, 2015 at 10:33 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that last Thursday morning I had a 7am meeting, so I got up at 5:30 to write a blog post. I did my morning prayers, wrote & proofread the post. In my process, the last step before I hit publish involves adding links, images, and media for the entry. This particular post was fairly heavy on those elements and it was taking me longer than usual. All the while the clock was ticking down toward my breakfast meeting. But, I thrive under... Read more

Best Song of 2014: Because I Wanna Get Better

Last updated on: January 8, 2015 at 5:17 pm By Tim Suttle

I’ve been resisting the impulse to join the fray of year’s end postings: favorite this, worst that-lists from the past year. So I’ve settled on a single contribution. 2014 has been a year of serious pain for me and those closest to me. My baby sister has breast cancer. She’s been through surgery and is currently in the throes of chemotherapy. Two weeks ago I baptized the still born baby of some dear friends. I’m watching several other friends and loved ones wade through... Read more

Bono’s A to Z of 2014: A Must-Read for U2 Fans

Last updated on: January 2, 2015 at 8:31 am By Tim Suttle

Granted, Bono has to have one of the more active egos of our time. He exists in that elite pantheon of fame along with immortals like Elvis, MJ, and Michael. The difference for him being that he seems to have at least some measure of awareness of the dangers of his position, and the responsibilities. Despite the unlimited income which affords him the rare ability to have almost whatever he wants whenever he wants it, and despite his ginormous messiah complex, Bono still seems... Read more

Is There Any Hope for Peace in the New Year?

— “Bad liturgy eventually leads to bad ethics. You begin by singing some sappy, sentimental hymn, then you pray some pointless prayer, and the next thing you know you have murdered your best friend.” – Stanley Hauerwas & William Willimon, The Truth About God. — I was recently offered the opportunity to write on the following assigned topic: “make realistic and judicious suggestions about how individuals, communities, and even larger social units… might contribute to peace within families, between adversaries,...

7 Tips for Peaceful Family Holiday Get-togethers

Last updated on: December 22, 2014 at 9:35 am By Tim Suttle

I come from a family of six. My mom and dad were high school sweethearts who married young and have stayed together for 50 years. They had four kids in about 10 minutes, and all of us crowded into a small three bedroom house that burned nearly to the ground when I was six. My parents rebuilt, kept the wheels from coming off the cart and we all grew close without too much in the way of scars. Mom and... Read more

The Worst Day at Ardent Beats the Best Day Anywhere Else: A Salute to John Fry, Ardent Founder, & Memphis Music Legend

Last updated on: December 19, 2014 at 2:25 pm By Tim Suttle

One doesn’t typically use words like character, integrity, genuine, honest, and kind to describe executives in the music business, but that’s how those who knew him will surely remember John Fry. John was a singular figure in Memphis music. Reeling from the death of John Hampton just one week ago, the Ardent family of music producers, engineers, artists, and executives are now left to reckon with the sudden loss of the man who made it all possible. John Fry died yesterday afternoon, December 18,... Read more
