Some big news to share. The Hasler's are moving to Texas! I've accepted a call to plant the first PCA church in Abilene, TX. Our family is very excited for this opportunity to be part of the amazing things the Lord is already doing in West Texas. But we can't do this alone. So, could I ask you to... 1. Pray for us. Pray for our family, for our core group, and for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on this mission church. We are hoping to be arriving Spring 2026 but many things have to come together before then. 2. Tell your friends! If you know anyone who is looking for a church in Abilene or would like to support a PCA church in Abilene, I'd love to talk with them. 3. Consider financially supporting us. We will need to raise some significant funds over the next couple years as we get this church off the ground. If you or your church would like to give to a confessional, ordinary means of grace, P&R church committed to the Great Commission and reaching the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, you can DM/text/call/email me. I'd love to talk to you about this work! "And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved"

Rest here weary traveler, it’s almost Sunday.

It is the Lord’s Day my dudes

"Enthusiasm for Reformed political theology and a renewed willingness to implement its insights in concrete ways in contemporary life is no threat to the welfare of the church or the cause of Jesus Christ." -PCA AIC on CN "Pastoral Letter"

Pastoral visitations are quickly becoming my favorite part of ministry

So, I went ahead and had it make me a master curriculum to read every book in my collection. It implements a five-track system, cutting the timeline in half. Basic workflows are: - Biblical & Theological Studies - Philosophy - History - Literature - Pastoral/Practical Ministry Topics Might mess around and do this.

It’s not manly to get offended and angry easily.

Gordon Wood showed us that a great historian could also be a regular guy. Read more from Wilfred McClay here: civitasoutlook.pulse.ly/9qre…

ChatGPT is telling me it would take 12.5 years at a moderate pace to read every book in my library.

I know a lot of folks in the PCA who were former mainliners. The sacrifices they made for the sake of the Gospel are amazing. I pray the Lord would give me their kind of courage.

I’m excited to share the release of Westminster Reader— a clean, focused app for reading and studying the Westminster Standards. The app includes: • Westminster Confession of Faith • Westminster Shorter Catechism • Westminster Larger Catechism • Full offline KJV proof texts • Searchable prooftexts • Flash cards • Reading plans • Bookmarks • Light and dark reading themes My hope is that this app will make the Standards easier to read, search, study, and return to again and again. Westminster Reader is available now. apps.apple.com/us/app/westmi…

With many great American heroes, we cannot forget the equally great women who mothered and grandmothered them. In her latest article, Mary Cuff writes about the pioneers who conquered the American West and the women who nurtured the future generations to share the legacy. hubs.li/Q04kBCs10

After a fun couple weeks with grandparents and cousins, The Hasler boys are finally home and my heart is full (The Abilene home is a hit).

It is the Lord’s Day my dudes

Having recently finished The Iliad and been disappointed by the paucity of good memes, I've tried here to collect some of my favorite from the handful I've found. Enjoy.

Wrapping up my ministry year on campus this week, I have to say, one of the most fun things I did was take about 10 students through @gavinortlund’s “What it Means to Be Protestant.”

With all due respect, isn’t the question of how magistrates will prudentially apply the natural law in their respective domains really a political question and therefore beyond the scope of pastors and theologians? Or, to put it another way, when its officers say the civil magistrate can’t enforce the 1T or the 10c (because they can’t imagine any just way of doing it), is the church circumventing the work of politics, rendering a political verdict itself, and therefore violating the spirituality of the church?

Almost Sunday.
