Reading part of a Thai article on ageism from @thepotentialTH (love their articles!) and attempting to translate it into Chinese #chinese #Thai

I think there are probably Thai people who share random thoughts on X confused that their tweets are being bookmarked by me 🤣 This is what I use this app for now—finding a wealth of example sentences w/new Thai vocab. My favorites contain multiple new words! #languagestudy

My outsider experiences have only strengthened my confidence in God’s goodness and sovereignty, writes Alicia J. Akins.

Too often, cultural belonging becomes a battle, and its winners gain the world: access, comfort, safety, community. Yet for those on the margins, God offers something even greater. Tune in 9 A.M. for Brock's interview with Alicia J. Akins (@FeetCryMercy). buff.ly/3s1SdZN

How can outsiders find a home in the church? In The Gift of the Outsider, Alicia J. Akins writes what living in the margins teaches us about faith. @FeetCryMercy @Harvest_House @musicgoon sola.network/article/the-gif…

School has kept me from reading my sister @FeetCryMercy's new book "The Gift of the Outsider," but I'm wondering who here has read it, is reading it, is going to read it, and would be willing to chop it up on
Zoom about it from November-January.

"A heart unmoved by injustice is a heat severely out of touch with the heart of God." Such good words in this remarkable book by @FeetCryMercy I've been encouraged and challenged while reading this. @ThePelicanProj amazon.com/Gift-Outsider-Liv…

📣📣📣 It’s release day for The Gift of the Outsider: What Living in the Margins Teaches Us About Faith a.co/d/7JgIRcX
It is a different year in Thailand and my phone has defaulted to showing me article publication dates in the Thai calendar system so I’m like, “Is this a new article, and old article…or one coming from the future???”
Two weeks until this book is official out in the world and I couldn’t be more excited about its message!

I got this new book in the mail. It goes well with the icon on my desk. I look forward to reading it! @FeetCryMercy @Harvest_House
Met a young woman at church this afternoon in Bangkok from Zimbabwe and asked her to coffee after service. She mentioned an interest in seminary & that @ReformTheoSem was her 1st choice. She loves @jenniferwilkin and dreams of starting a theological library for women in Zim 1 day

Just signed the contract with @LexhamPress for @housechurchtheo 3rd book! This has been a massive team effort. I’m joined by Ryan Zhang (who is doing the heavy lifting on editing) and @FeetCryMercy (who is bringing her beautiful liturgical writing to all of the translation). 1/
