Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: February 10, 2014 at 8:00 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that today is week three of being back on my Sabbath routine. Feeling good about the results so far, and hoping to remain faithful to the discipline. I confess that I’m pretty stoked to be able to catch Jimmy Fallon live on The Tonight Show a little more often as of Feb. 17th. I watched his farewell show Friday night, and it was so endearing. He actually seems like one of the good guys in entertainment – Andy... Read more

SNL and Sochi: A Little Friday Funny

Last updated on: February 7, 2014 at 6:38 am By Tim Suttle

2014 Winter Olympic Games have begun, and the SNL cast found a way to exploit the irony of the games in Sochi, Russia. Snowboarding Slopestyle event might be my new favorite event. These people are crazy, and I love it. I have always been a skier, but watching these competitors ride, I’m going to have to try snowboarding at some point. Happy Friday everyone. Read more

Donald Miller’s Worship Critique & Subsequent Rant

Last updated on: February 5, 2014 at 3:51 pm By Tim Suttle

Donald Miller wrote a post on his blog talking about why he doesn’t go to church. He began with a somewhat vulnerable moment: “I’ve a confession. I don’t connect with God by singing to Him. Not at all. I know I’m nearly alone in this but it’s true. I was finally able to admit this recently when I attended a church service that had, perhaps, the most talented worship team I’ve ever heard. I loved the music. But I loved... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: February 3, 2014 at 7:44 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I worked most of the day on Saturday this week. It was just one of those weeks when sermon writing took more time. I confess that because of this, Monday Sabbath feels like it has some urgency, so this might be a lousy MMC. I confess that yesterday was the final day of my church’s capital campaign. We hit 80% of our overall goal, and ended up with a mortgage we can manage for the coming years.... Read more

Great Super Bowl Side Bets & Bad Football Lip-reading: A Little Friday Funny

Last updated on: January 31, 2014 at 7:08 am By Tim Suttle

Our family Super Bowl tradition includes a meager prize for the best total score on the following side bets each year. Feel free to cut and paste: Over/Under 2:25 on length of the National Anthem? Will Seattle call heads or tails? Who will win the toss? Who will score first? Will the first score be a touchdown or a field goal? Which team will commit the first turnover? Yes/No will there be a score on the game’s first drive? Over/Under 30... Read more

In a Former Life, This Was My Living – Satellite Soul: Always the Same

Last updated on: January 30, 2014 at 9:38 am By Tim Suttle

It’s seems like forever ago that that very nearly every waking moment, for me, was consumed with music, songwriting, producing records, and touring. So many hours, so much of my heart and soul were invested in these songs, and it all feels so fleeting now. About a decade, somewhere upwards of a thousand shows, and I still can’t remember the lyrics to my own tunes. I can’t always say this, but I’m really glad that I wrote Always the Same.... Read more

Being Pulled Through the Knothole: David Brooks on Paradox & Presence

Last updated on: January 29, 2014 at 7:48 am By Tim Suttle

There’s a phrase used to describe the experience of intense or traumatic life events that leave us forever changed. “Being pulled through the knothole,” means going through a situation so singularly intense that many of the beliefs and assumptions we clung to before we were pulled through the knothole, simply fall away when we get to the other side of the fence. The result is often a significant transformation. It doesn’t happen to everyone, despite the fact that all of... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: January 27, 2014 at 8:03 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I have been a terrible Sabbath breaker for the past few months. I have allowed myself to work on Mondays in order to knock out the manuscript I was working on, and to work on filling a staff position at church. The funny thing about being a Sabbath breaker is that it is a completely acceptable form of decadence, so nobody really cares. What makes it so destructive is that you can never get those days and...

Shrink Cover Art

Last updated on: January 21, 2014 at 6:09 am By Tim Suttle

The Manuscript for Shrink was officially accepted by Zondervan last week. The final painful edits involved cutting a full chapter, which hurt a bit at the time, but seems so obvious now that I can’t believe I was ever worried about it. This feels like a pretty big milestone for me, and for the project. Essentially, it means that 1) I didn’t completely fumble the writing & cause the publisher to pull the plug, and 2) Now that most of the... Read more

I confess that today is the first day of the Spring Semester at NTS, and for the first time I will be teaching a class. The name of the course is Missional Leadership and Discipleship, and I’m co-teaching with Mike King. As part of the new module schedule, we will be going 8-5:00 for most of the week. I confess that so far it’s a small class, so if anyone wants to come visit for a day, take a look at... Read more
