Sir I am not in the habit of eating the shell of the nut—that's just regular wood. It's the nut's house.
"A tornado siren, for someone who has experienced harsh weather before, may be retraumatizing"

Well, yeah, only I guess if the tornado never happens. But the point is the harm of the tornado itself is probably worse and thus worth the risk. These are not serious people.

I think my issue is more that spiritual direction should form a category of discipleship rather than being something set alongside it—contemplation and prayer practices and discernment are part of growing more and more in the way of Jesus!
February 3, 2026 at 4:37 PM
Important caveat: I know this is not all spiritual direction. This just seems to be a current in a lot of the spiritual direction websites.
February 3, 2026 at 3:41 PM
It also feels very much like an undercurrent of "discipleship work has some kind of ACCOUNTABILITY STRUCTURE; Spiritual Direction keeps you coming back without any real way to know you're progressing except that I say you are!"

"coaching is about outcomes; spiritual direction is about listening to God better and getting closer to Him"

do you hear yourself?
February 3, 2026 at 3:38 PM
"discipleship is about DOING, spiritual direction is about discernment" my dawg that is a terrible dichotomy
February 3, 2026 at 3:37 PM
I gotta say, in looking at a number of Spiritual Direction resources that seek to distinguish it from discipleship work or spiritual "coaching," there seems to be a lot of splitting hairs and unhelpful distinction of "thinking/reflection" in order to provide job security for spiritual directors. 🕯️

To be clear, WOKE 2 is a sequel not an upgraded version. It's more like how Terminator 2 is better than Terminator 1

It's the mirror image of the ICE goons going in it just for the ability to brutalize people with no ideological commitment
February 3, 2026 at 3:26 PM
WOKE 2 obviously wants harm reduction, but it doesn't approach it in a vacuum. It understands the true reality of harm reduction as something that is situational. In this case, the nonviolent but most effective way to make ICE disappearances ineffective is what will be used.

This is WOKE 1, there is no place for it in WOKE 2
Ugh. The main anti-ICE group in Washington which has 44k followers on Facebook and has been going around to communities promoting classes is now promoting this anti-whistle nonsense for "harm reduction" reasons as well.

These kinds of human scale, mixed-use Midwest dive bars are illegal to open and operate in most American neighborhoods.

Amon Bundy being anti-Trump is yet another sign that “has any real principles at all” is increasingly the most salient dividing line in politics.

goodbye White Settlement, hello "Racialized-as-white Settlement"
This race was such a massive swing blowout that Democrat Taylor Rehmet literally won a city called White Settlement
