Mike’s Rumblings 10-25-24
This is an audio version of Mike Murphy‘s Friday rumblings. This is a regular post on Facebook that I’ve turned into a podcast. I decided Mike’s words needed a wider audience. You may agree or disagree with what he says, but there is certainly much food for thought contained here. You can friend Mike on Facebook for the printed version or read it below
Rumblings. 10.25.24
1. The countdown has begun for what astute people say is ‘the most consequential election of our lifetime.” They’re right.
Get ready, however, to ‘embrace the suck’ because Tropical Storm Donald is primed and ready to wreak havoc on everyone and everything whether he wins or loses.
That’s what he’s saying.
That’s who he is.
That’s his promise.
That’s what his version of ‘faith’ requires.
And it’s what the …Read More

Rumblings. 10.18.24
1. We’ve decided to “chase the approval of strangers on our phones. We build all manner of walls and fences around ourselves and then wonder why we feel so alone.” ~ Barack Obama
Walls and fences?
I’m on the lookout for bridges. On the other side there’s people to meet, good things to do, and ideas to be explored.
2. “Are they here legally?” That’s a modern version of “Who is my neighbor?” Both are questions used to determine if we have…Read More

Rumblings. 10.4.24
1. Christians: We will spread the Gospel by spending a week in a third world country, and maybe go on safari.
God: I am going to bring the developing world to your community. By the way, they already know and follow me. Just welcome them and care for their needs.
Christians: No, not that way. ~ Kevin M. Young
There’s so much sad truth in this. Is a mission trip a stupid idea? No, not at all. I recommend them. It softens our hearts and gives us a …Read More

Christine Valters Paintner – episode 388
Christine Valters Painter joins me again on the podcast. Her book, A Midwinter God, just released. It’s all about encountering the Divine in seasons of darkness and I highly recommend it. Our conversation is enlightening and informative as we talk about how we deal with darkness and grief in our culture and realize those moments are actually the path of true prayer.
Find Christine at Abbey of the Arts….Read More

Rumblings. 9.27.24
1. “Donald Trump owns many properties; American Christianity cannot be one of them.” ~ Russell Moore, Christianity Today
Unfortunately, he has already staked out a majority position through a wide swath of Evangelical Christianity. It ain’t pretty is it? Evangelicals may not be the totality of Trump’s religious brand but I’m not sure what second place looks like. It’s a sad state of affairs.
2. “The problem is many of the people nee…Read More
