Kudos to @halrobertboyd and Justin Collins for this excellent piece in @thedispatch My favorite line: "So when Christ prays to God the Father in the New Testament, it is a display of authentic faith and perfect devotion, and not what some social trinitarians may view as a kind of divine ventriloquism." thedispatch.com/article/are-…

Very very pumped to get to work with Allbirds and the team. Getting to work with the best Brands in the world is the most fun part of the job. Thanks for growing with us Allbirds.

I always get pretty pumped spending time in the Redo warehouses. When the physical world meets the digital one cool things happen. No one has ever connected the entire experience from Returns/Exchanges AI --> Physical Returns processing--> to refulfillement. Much less doing it globally in over 100 countries. Walking through today was reminded we get to do this for some of the coolest Brands on the planet. Like Cuts, ASRV, and thousands of others. 📈 📈 📈 📈

This is a really good question. I’ll try to explain. We don’t care about being in a club, about being like other groups. Or at least we shouldn’t. What we actually care about is that people know our devotion to Christ. We worship Him as the Son of God, as God the Son, our Savior and Redeemer, and the only way by which we can return to God the Father. We are asked to testify of Christ - it’s a covenant we make as members of His church. An explicit promise. It’s why you see us fight to make sure others know our love for Jesus. In our view, this clearly falls under the definition of the word “Christian”. See the definition below. But we also acknowledge we are very, very different from creedal Christianity, or the rest of the Christian world. We do not seek to be like others. In fact we really *like* the differences we have. Hope that answer helps a little.

Claude is pending and ChatGPT is live. Been very cool to see all the ways Brands are using Redo LLM of choice. The team did some very cool work here. 🚀🚀🚀

Happy Mother's Day! There is no role more important on Earth.

😳 There be GIANTS there! Biblical texts and ancient documents make not infrequent mention of giants living among the children of men. Found in 1948 among the Qumran caves, the Book of Giants depicts a curious story about the prophet Enoch. 120 years before their discovery, Joseph Smith produced The Book of Moses, which conveys the SAME story. How did this unlearned farmboy get this right –– along with the actual name of the giant, Mahijah?!

We're finally launching the feature I've always dreamed of as a parent: A real-time, transparent view into your child's academic progress. Available now for every Primer family.

We need thousands of new, low-cost schools across the US. But outdated state and local regulations make this arduous at best and impossible at worst. Today we're announcing a new, non-profit advocacy org to fix this: Schools for America.

Here we go. I want you to know this: I'm going to be posting occasionally about my faith as a Latter-day Saint. I have a firm testimony of the Book of Mormon from a personal witness, but it's understandable if people have questions about its veracity. Note that the first several chapters of the Book of Mormon take place in 600 BC Jerusalem. The question at hand: how could Joseph Smith have gotten SO MUCH RIGHT about that culture, namesakes, locations, politics, language, of military practices from pre-exile Judah if he conjured the Book of Mormon from whole cloth in 1830?! We defer, of course, to the greatest LDS scholar and apologist: Hugh Nibley:

Congrats @YsTanman11!! @Raiders ✍️

Thank you BYU 💙

If the SPLC (!) was funding the hate groups they claimed to be fighting, what does this suggest re the rest of the censorship/debanking complex of the last decade?

HELP NEEDED: do i know anyone who has a contact at Apple App Store? A portfolio company has a release held for 6 days with no response from them.

Lehi’s Vision of the Tree of Life from the Book of Mormon. I argue that this scripture is a dense psychological map encoding the universal human struggle for meaning, the mechanics of social conformity, and the architecture of sacrifice.

Hoping @primer and @delk can bring us to The Diamond Age promised land.

Primer is changing Education in America!

Frustrated Dad Alert One of my favorite memories growing up was heading to the local high school with my Dad and brothers. We’d play catch, hit tennis balls, play catch with a football, or smack baseballs on those empty fields. Pure joy. Today I drove my kids to two Granite School District high schools on a perfect 61° spring day. I wanted to time my daughter on the track and throw with my son. **Both schools were locked down like Fort Knox.** Fields empty. Tracks empty. Gates chained. No one there. I’ve heard every excuse in the book — and they all stink worse than armpits. We live in a world that’s already fighting to pull kids off phones and get them moving. Why are we making it harder? High school football and baseball participation numbers are dropping for a reason — kids literally can’t find a safe place to practice, disconnect from screens, and connect with their parents. @GovCox @GraniteSchools — there has to be a better way. Open the fields and tracks when school’s not in session, including weekends. Let families use what our tax dollars already paid for. These are not private clubs for members only. If you were a charter school, I get it, but we pay for these beautiful fields and tracks. This isn’t just my problem. This is every Utah kid’s problem. @BarstoolGruden knock on wood if you’re with me… Who else is with me? Tag a parent. Tag a coach. Tag your school board member. Let’s make some noise until they open the gates. #OpenTheFields #GraniteSchools #GetKidsOutside

Today is resurrection Sunday, but we call it Easter. Here’s what happened: Jesus’ body had been in the tomb for 38 or 40 hours - Friday evening to Sunday morning - 3 days as the Jews measured time. Mary Magdalene, still grieving, felt compelled to see Him. She walked to the tomb in the early morning, while it was still dark, with spices to prepare His dead body. She arrives to see the stone had been removed from the tomb. Mary is shocked. One account says she ran to tell Peter and others to come and see. They all come to the empty tomb. All of them believe His body has been stolen - forgetting that He had told them He would raise himself from the dead. They all leave except Mary, who stayed at the tomb, crying. Once again, just like at the cross, Mary would not leave His presence. An angel appears to Mary and asked her why she was weeping. Mary says because someone has taken the body of her Lord. The angel replies: “He is not here, for He is risen. As He said.” As He said. Mary is stunned. She sees another Man, who she thinks is the gardener. This Man also asks Mary why she is weeping. She begs the Man to tell her where He has moved the body of Jesus. The Man replies with one word: “Mary.” At this moment Mary knew it was Jesus. She becomes the first witness of the resurrection, but not the last. Jesus then shows himself to his closest friends. He eats with them again. He asks them to feel His hands and side (which were both pierced). He fished with them again. He walked with them again. These many witnesses of the resurrection recorded their stories for all to read. Christians believe this event - resurrection Sunday - is the crowning event of human history. For the first time Man had overcome death. And even more importantly, this resurrection meant that Jesus had done exactly what was necessary to reconcile man to God. Two impossible problems prevent us from returning to God and obtaining eternal life: sin and death. But these impossible problems were solved by the same person. By living a sinless life and voluntarily sacrificing himself, He overcame sin, and created a way for the destroying angel to “passover” each of us by following Him. And by being resurrected He overcomes death as well. As a result, we can all inherit eternal life if we choose to. I believe this all actually happened. Happy Easter! 🤝

He is risen! And because Christ rose again, we will too. Thanks to Him, no pain, fear, failure, or unfairness is permanent. This is greater love. This is Easter.
