Movement is Truth and the Truth is Love
Hey friends, here's a little thing about truth, movement, reality, Herod, US Presidents, and love. I reference a Substack conversation I had that is itself called Grief in the Holiday (https://fosterj.substack.com/p/grief-in-the-color-of-holiday?r=yu4kf)s. Click the link to watch or listen. It turned out nicely and I think could help a lot of people during this challenging time.
Other references that I hope you'll check out include the new denominational ecosystem we've started to credential pastors and endorse chaplains, called the Curian Network (https://thecurian.org)
Thank you!

Loved catching up with Brian Recker (https://open.substack.com/users/179669919-brian-recker?utm_source=mentions)about both his work and his USA Today bestselling book, Hell Bent: How the Fear of Hell Holds Christians Back from a Spirituality of Love. (https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/hellbent-how-the-fear-of-hell-holds-christians-back-from-a-spirituality-of-love_brian-recker/54591143/item/83407600/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_new_condition_books_high_14637440387&utm_adgroup=&utm_term=&utm_content=545821544816&gad_source=5&gad_campaignid=14637440387&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIi4qLzJDPkAMVKCuzAB2DRii4EAQYASABEgKNCPD_BwE#idiq=83407600&edition=72572443)Subscribe to Brian’s substack publication and find him on Instagram (with a few hundred thousand other people!)
Thanks everyone. This will likely be our last Substack Live of the year for Tori and I, but we’re already talking about 2026 plans.
Hey, if you resonate with some of the stuff we were talking about today and you’re a faith leader, you should know about opentable.network (https://opentable.network/?et_fb=1&PageSpeed=off) (soon to be thecurian.network). It’s a new denominational space credentialing and resourcing pastors, chaplains, counselors, and spiritual directors. We’re a 501c3 and a recognized endorser with The Association of Professional Chaplains. It’s going to be pretty interesting to see how this space develops and if you need a safe, new theological home, well, who knows, maybe we’re all showing up for such a time as this. 👊🏼

[…] It's like, where do these guys come from? And then all of a sudden, they're eradicated. They're done. They've been shut down. And it's just this part of history. And so I talk about how the only way you get pirates is because the world dramatically shifted. So you have all these guys who are privateers. They work for their governments. And then one day, the governments are like, yeah, we're not doing this anymore. We're not going to pay you. Well, these guys are like, well, this is what we do. We've got these boats. We've got these crews, got these skills. So if you're not going to pay us, we're just going to go be pirates. […]
