Let Me Tell You What Is At Stake In This Election (okay, not me, but A. Barton Hinkle) The Wrong Side Must Not Win

Last updated on: September 27, 2012 at 9:32 am   By Tim Suttle

I found this article via my friend Ginny (shout out to Ginny who reads this blog :-)). It was originally published in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and was reprinted at Reason.com – a site I’m not familiar with. I had to share it because it makes me laugh – mostly at myself! I didn’t reproduce the whole thing, so please visit the Richmond Times-Dispatch to read the end of the article. The past several weeks have made one thing crystal-clear: Our... Read more

Why “See You At The Pole” Makes Me Nervous, and How I Would Change It

Last updated on: September 26, 2012 at 11:18 am   By Tim Suttle

Today is the national See You At the Pole prayer event. If you don’t know what it is, just Google it. When I was touring with my band Satellite Soul, we played nearly every year at a See You At the Pole rally somewhere in the states. There was always something about it that made me a little bit nervous, but for a long time I didn’t have the language to describe my intuitions. I’ve tried to sum it up... Read more

Tuesdays With Walter Part 04 – Even Missional Leadership Attempts to Co-opt God in Support of Their Model

Last updated on: September 25, 2012 at 11:15 am   By Tim Suttle

My series, Tuesdays with Walter, continues today with a reflection on one simple but revolutionary concept from Chapter 02 of The Prophetic Imagination. If you want to catch up here is part 01, part 02, and part 03. The point of this series is to do a close reading of WB’s great book with an eye toward what it teaches us about leadership. Is there such a thing as prophetic leadership? Last week, I noted that Brueggemann teaches that God... Read more

The Lumineers in Lawrence: “Big Parade”

Last updated on: September 25, 2012 at 8:23 am   By Tim Suttle

I went and saw The Lumineers at Liberty Hall in Lawrence last night. It was a great show. If you don’t know their stuff, I highly recommend becoming acquainted. Ever since last night I’ve been pondering what they do live, and I realized that I’ve never really seen anything like it. A Lumineers concert feels like a sing-along at the end of a variety show, something off the Grand Ole Opry if they let the carpet-baggers and hippies take the... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional – Suck it, Nerds.

Last updated on: September 24, 2012 at 9:50 am   By Tim Suttle

I confess that I’m ridiculously impacted by other people’s opinion of me, and I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll ever really embrace the idea of just being who I am without trying to manage my own reputation. I confess that I am now worried that the above confession will cause people whose opinion of me I value to think that I’m somehow weak or pathetic. I confess that I love the phrase, “Suck it!”, even though it seems on the... Read more

Les Miserables 2012 Breaks With Years of Tradition in Musical Film-making Method – and it’s a brilliant move

Last updated on: September 22, 2012 at 8:30 am   By Tim Suttle

Les Miserables is one of the greatest artistic expressions of grace and redemption ever created. The novel was written by the great Victor Hugo, who also penned The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The story has been told in nearly artistic medium since it was first published 150 years ago this year. A new adaptation of the stage musical is being developed for the big screen and it looks like it’s going to be amazing. The cast includes Hugh Jackman, Russell... Read more

What Is It About Forgiveness That Ticks People Off?

Last updated on: September 21, 2012 at 9:15 am   By Tim Suttle

What Is It About Forgiveness That Ticks People Off? In the wake of the insanely tasteless “Innocence of Muslims” video and the similarly dishonorable outrage and violence of part of the Muslim world, I have been surprise by the response to my response. I think the movie is awful and is probably should be considered hate speech. I’m embarrassed that some of my brothers in Christ have chosen to be that foolish and unwise and they should be disciplined by... Read more

The Cast of the West Wing Unites for a little Campaigning: New Video Makes Me Wish They’d Never Left

Last updated on: September 20, 2012 at 4:11 pm   By Tim Suttle

It’s funny, it’s smart, it’s political, it’s sassy, it’s verbose, it’s Hollywood, it’s self-consumed and it’s way overcooked… it’s got to be the West Wing. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: The West Wing is the best TV show ever. The cast reunited for a little PSA regarding non-partisan ballot sections electing judges and officials where party is not a factor – especially a race for Michigan Supreme Court nominee Bridget Mary McCormack. CNN is reporting that the reason... Read more

Mr. and Mrs. Jesus Christ? Yeah, not so fast…

Last updated on: September 20, 2012 at 8:05 am   By Tim Suttle

James Martin wrote a great summary article on the recent study and publication of a text fragment dating somewhere are 350 CE in which it the writer assumes that Jesus of Nazareth was married. Martin, a Jesuit priest, reminds us of the reasons that Christians believe Jesus was not married from the Christian scriptures themselves. This is a 3 minute read that will summarize the whole event well: AT an academic conference in Rome on Tuesday, Karen L. King, a... Read more
