1. Spotted a terrific article in the LA Times the other day about a parent who rebelled against overparenting<\/a> and let her nine-year-old find his way home on the New York subway. The author, Rosa Brooks, makes the case for letting kids be kids, and play as such. Also, check out a great site called FreeRangeKids that advocates a more hands-off model of parenting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. The first edition of the Southern Seminary student journal Adorare Mente <\/span>is now online<\/a>. It looks like a really helpful issue. I edited the church history section and selected an excellent paper by SBTS MDiv student Trevin Wax<\/a> on the Marburg Colloquy, which featured debate between Luther and his follower, Zwingli, on the Lord\u2019s Supper. Check out the whole journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Tremendously helpful and insightful piece by Presbyterian historian Sean Lucas on the pastorate and PhD studies<\/a>. (HT: JT<\/a>) If you are an MDiv student and are struggling to figure out what to do on this issue, join the club. Don\u2019t be discouraged\u2013this is a tough area. I want to blog about this more in the future (and have in the past), and hope to offer my own little bit of advice on the matter. Fundamentally, know this: it is a great thing to get lots of training before entering the pastorate. We need a small, select group of academic theologians; we need a huge, gifted, well-trained, gospel-driven group of pastor-theologians. Young, gifted seminarian: think hard <\/span>about this last sentence<\/span>.<\/p>\n

4. Have you heard about the White Board Sessions?<\/a> Neither had I til I saw a fleeting notice of them at the 9Marks blog<\/a>. Sounds like a really interesting time. Dever paired up with some emergingish guys will make for some fun, I predict\u2026<\/p>\n

5. New Death Cab for Cutie album is out<\/a>. My buddy Doug Hankins is currently letting me listen to it, and it sounds amazing eight minutes in. If you don\u2019t know about Death Cab, give them a listen\u2013thoughtful, evocative music.<\/p>\n

Have a great, God-saturated weekend, all.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
