Tuesdays With Walter Part 02 – How To Become A Prophet In Two Simple Steps

Last updated on: September 11, 2012 at 9:18 am By Tim Suttle

At Redemption Church our staff doesn’t read leadership books, we read about theology and scripture, so we can be formed by a story and tradition untainted by contemporary church leadership paradigms. Right now we are reading Walter Brueggemann’s The Prophetic Imagination. For the next few weeks my Tuesday blog entry will deal with this book and its implications for church leadership. Chapter 01 – second half The contemporary notion of what it means to be a prophet bears little resemblance... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional: Why Is There Always Something Wrong With Me?

Last updated on: September 10, 2012 at 10:23 am By Tim Suttle

Since the move to Patheos a lot of new readers have found their way to Paperback Theology. I thought it might be a good idea to explain Monday Morning Confessional a little bit. Confession is an imprecise yet powerful spiritual discipline. It’s one of those practices we have to just force into our routine by sheer discipline. We do it whether we feel like doing it or not, and every once in awhile – by the grace of God –... Read more

Bob Newhart’s Version of Pastoral Care and Counselling

Last updated on: September 8, 2012 at 2:16 pm By Tim Suttle

They don’t teach this method at Seminary – at least not that I ever encountered. I’m reading the book of Nehemiah every week for seven or eight weeks while I preach through it at my church. It’s been pretty interesting to read the story of the exiled community returning to find their city in ruins and then dropping everything to rebuild the walls. We’re doing chapter 05 tomorrow, it’s the story of when some of the leaders of the community... Read more

A Few Thoughts On Obama’s Speech to the DNC2012 – The Call for Community Trumps the Primacy of the Individual

Last updated on: September 7, 2012 at 8:28 am By Tim Suttle

You can make anyone in public life sound like the devil if you cherry pick remarks, use them out of context, distort their true meaning, and leave out key details. Granted, some public figures make it easy to do (I’m looking at you Paul Ryan). But last night’s speech by Barack Obama was pretty long on spin. The attacks turn me off, and I don’t think they are essential for explaining the president’s rationale for why he deserves another four... Read more

Barack Obama Speech to the DNC 2012 Transcript

Last updated on: September 6, 2012 at 8:33 pm By Tim Suttle

Michelle, I love you. The other night, I think the entire country saw just how lucky I am. Malia and Sasha, you make me so proud…but don’t get any ideas, you’re still going to class tomorrow. And Joe Biden, thank you for being the best Vice President I could ever hope for. Madam Chairwoman, delegates, I accept your nomination for President of the United States. The first time I addressed this convention in 2004, I was a younger man; a... Read more

My fellow Democrats, and my favorite Democrat. Jilly, I want you to know that Beau, Hunt, Ashley, and I are so proud of you. We admire the way you treat every single student who walks into your classroom. You not only teach them. You give them confidence. And the passion you bring to easing the burden on the families of our warriors. They know you understand what they’re going through. It makes a difference. And I’m grateful. So grateful that...

Thoughts on Day 02 of the DNC 2012 – Bill Clinton Delivers the Policy Narrative Obama Has Struggled to Articulate

Last updated on: September 6, 2012 at 10:38 am By Tim Suttle

Bill Clinton should still be a political punch line. After the Monica Lewinsky scandal and his impeachment by the House of Representatives one might think that he would still be too radioactive for the prime time slot at the DNC. Apparently not… because last night Bill Clinton stole the show. It was a legend do what he does best. Love him or hate him, you can’t argue the fact that Bill Clinton is still the most talented politician in America.... Read more

Last updated on: September 6, 2012 at 10:43 am By Tim Suttle

Now, Mr. Mayor, fellow Democrats, we are here to nominate a president… and I’ve got one in mind. I want to nominate a man whose own life has known its fair share of adversity and uncertainty. I want to nominate a man who ran for president to change the course of an already weak economy and then, just six weeks before his election, saw it suffer the biggest collapse since the Great Depression, a man who stopped the slide into...

A Few Thoughts on Day 01 of the DNC 2012

Last updated on: September 5, 2012 at 3:09 pm By Tim Suttle

If you missed night 01 of the DNC2012 – here’s the one paragraph summary: “Democrats opened their convention here on Tuesday night with two simple messages for voters: Mitt Romney does not get it, and President Obama does. A parade of Democratic officials spent the first hours of the gathering detailing a political indictment of Mr. Romney, blistering him as being out of touch with the middle class and intent on taking the country back to the policies that caused...

Transcript for Michelle Obama’s Speech – DNC 2012

Last updated on: September 4, 2012 at 8:46 pm By Tim Suttle

Over the past few years as First Lady, I have had the extraordinary privilege of traveling all across this country. And everywhere I’ve gone, in the people I’ve met, and the stories I’ve heard, I have seen the very best of the American spirit. I have seen it in the incredible kindness and warmth that people have shown me and my family, especially our girls. I’ve seen it in teachers in a near-bankrupt school district who vowed to keep teaching... Read more
