Spiritual fatigue isn’t a sign of failure; it’s a sign you’re human.
In this week’s episode, we’re talking about why exhaustion isn’t a badge of honor and how “beginning again” starts with one honest prayer—or even just a nap.
Grace doesn’t expire.🎙️ Let’s talk recovery
I get to see the Michigan hockey team play in the B1G tournament tonight courtesy of @toddwaller@threads.net. Can’t wait! 🏒
The prophetic voice moves through anger and ends in a hope oriented lament.

Pastors, let us remember that the grift from the right and from left are equally damaging. Both promise us large crowds by leveraging politics at the expense of grace centered faithfulness.
May we be faithful, whatever the cost.
Currently reading: Yumi and the Nightmare Painter A Cosmere Novel by Brandon Sanderson 📚
Starting the next read. I am enjoying Sanderson so much!
That moment when you realize that you didn’t turn on the mic for your last recording and got a cruddy phone recording instead.
Also? That moment when you realize you need to be sure to do post production on your audio recording.
Pastor life is not always what I thought it would be. 😅
The defense being played by Team USA in the WBC is unreal.
These guys are laying out for everything.
Goodness. ⚾️
Finished reading: The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson 📚
Another fun read from Sanderson. It’s not a Cosmere novel. It’s lighthearted and has a bit of a Terry Pratchett feel to it. I really enjoyed it!
I am very excited about this addition to the micro.blog suite! The potential is pretty great.

Great work, @manton@manton.org
I am preparing to preach Amos after Easter. I’ve never more excited or intimidated to preach a text.

Amy and I are enjoying our brief get away to Iowa City to spend some time with Ethan. We hiked Indiana State Dunes yesterday and Lake MacBride North Shore today.
I’ve preached the Parable of the Sower more times than I can count.
Turns out I’d been getting it wrong. 😬

Psalm 120 really speaks today.
I call on the LORD in my distress,
and he answers me.
Save me, LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues.
What will he do to you, and what more besides, you deceitful tongue?
He will puni... https://danielmrose.com/2026/02/28/psalm-really-speaks-today-i.html

I am not an expert on politics.
I am not an expert on war.
I think I may have developed an expertise over my years and training in the areas of Bible and theology.
As I have read the arguments on behalf of this military action, it does ... https://danielmrose.com/2026/02/28/i-am-not-an-expert.html
I am preaching the parable of the sower Sunday. I am wrestling with how to avoid the moralistic, “you control the soil of your heart.”
This is the message that I’ve heard communicated over and over.
That’s too easy and I think misses the point of the beauty of what the sower is doing.
Being able to sit on the patio feeling the sun on your face and not be freezing is joy giving. I’m feeling my tank being re-filled moment by moment!
I feel that! We typically are going in very different directions, this has been a welcome change.
yup! I still can’t believe that she puts up with me.

Thursdays have become one of my favorite days of the week. I spend them in a town where I get to be present with a group of people who graciously allow me to serve as their unofficial pastor. On top of that, I get to commute with Amy!
I am currently reading: Dominion by Tom Holland 📚
Spent some with this one today. Seeing the influence of Christianity, the good and the bad is so helpful to hold a nuanced understanding of the development of Western Civilization.
I started reading: The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson 📚
I grabbed the audio book and I’m thoroughly enjoying it! It has dashes of Disc World vibes with Sanderson’s warmth.
