  1. Lawns are so dumb. I'm with you. Get some goats and a garden and turn that lawn into permaculture. I have a lawn. Leaves in shame.

  3. Really appreciated this, John. I’ve been following Paul for a while now, and I’ve never heard him get this personal about Orthodoxy. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it was a different spirit than his other talks…more laid back or transparent about the details of why people are finding Orthodoxy life-giving compared to the vanilla, individualistic Evangelicalism (false) “smorgasbord”, the faux-a la carte of (one) option(s). Oh, and the universality question was great. Conversionist religion cannot have a proper and healthy relationship to personhood. #1…that’s not how people work. And #2 it’s a denial of unity in multiplicity. It’s rooting faith in abstractions and self-identity around ideas…ewww.
