We lost my cousin Robin to a drunk driver this past week. I wish we’d had more time.

I Wish We'd Had More Time (For Robin) | Joshua P. Steele
I come from a family of many cousins. As a kid, I even remember thinking there were too many cousins! Not even recognizing everyone at a family reunion. That kind of thing.
However, I never thought I’d lose 4 of my cousins—1 on my mom’s side and now 3 on my dad’s side—before I hit 35.
This past week, my cousin Robin Steele left for work at 6am and didn’t even make it a mile down the road before he was killed by a drunk driver (who later died in the hospital).

You're Reading Revelation Wrong | Joshua P. Steele
I grew up believing I knew what the book of Revelation was about. It was about the future, specifically our future, and if you paid close enough attention you could match its symbols to newspaper headlines. The beast was probably some European politician. The mark was probably a microchip. Russia was Gog. China was the kings of the East. And Israel, always Israel, was God’s prophetic clock, ticking down to the rapture.
I know that Logos Bible Software has built-in AI features (for a subscription) now, but is there any way to use, say, Claude and give it programmatic access to your Logos library?
If you’re trying to connect your Mac to multiple external monitors…in what world is merely being able to MIRROR the external monitors, so they’re exact replicas, useful?!?! Trying to find an affordable solution for my MacBook Pro (work) and Mac Mini (personal).
What's Gone Wrong with American Evangelicalism: Some Notes | Joshua P. Steele
I’ve been trying to put my thoughts together on what, precisely, grieves me about American evangelicalism. Here’s what I have, so far.
I was born and raised in conservative/fundamentalist USA evangelicalism. I went to Cedarville University for undergrad, where I studied Bible and Spanish. Then, I went to Beeson Divinity School. Then, I went to Wheaton College Graduate School.
My first misgivings about the evangelicalism started in college. In 2012 or so, I couldn’t help but notice some concerning parallels between the German churches in 1920s-30s and American evangelical Christianity. I stopped calling myself an evangelical in 2016 when it became clear just how many evangelicals voted for Trump.
Judging by the weather, Ohio is…incredibly drunk. Go home, Ohio.
In your opinion, what are the key errors of USA evangelicalism in the past 50 years? Like, if you were summarizing your frustrations with evangelicalism in a letter to, say, your childhood pastor. How would you describe things?
📢 PSA: Eugenics is bad, actually. People who want to stop being called Nazis and fascists should stop saying and doing Nazi and fascist things.
Absolutely loving the show “Shrinking.” Such a great mixture of humor and poignancy!
