The moment something radical can be neatly packaged into a 30 minute keynote with sponsors, branded backdrops, and a Q&A, it’s been domesticated. Real movements have rough edges, costs, and demands that don’t survive a stage format. If it fits clean, it’s been preapproved. And anything pre approved by the existing power structure isn’t threatening that structure. It’s serving it. The “movement” has become merchandise.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ View quoted note →

Remember when Donald Trump posted an AI image of himself depicted as Jesus Christ? He deleted it only after Christians across denominations called it what it was. Blasphemy. His administration did not stop there. Pete Hegseth compared the rescue of a downed airman to the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. Trump told reporters he believes God backs the United States in the Iran war. He warned that all of Iranian civilization could “die” if Tehran did not bend to his terms. JD Vance presumed to correct a sitting pope on theology after the pontiff stated the obvious, that God does not bless men who drop bombs. Trump himself told a joint session of Congress, “I was saved by God to make America great again.” He named the Almighty as the engine of his own campaign slogan. Scripture has a phrase for this. Taking the Lord’s name in vain. It does not mean stubbing your toe and cursing. It means conscripting the name of God as a press release. History has a long memory for it… Pharaoh enslaved a covenant people and watched the sea fold over his army. Sennacherib mocked the God of Israel and his men woke up dead, 185,000 of them, in a single night. Belshazzar drank from temple vessels at a feast and lost his kingdom before sunrise. Herod accepted worship as a god and was eaten by worms while the crowd was still cheering. Nebuchadnezzar boasted over Babylon and spent seven years eating grass in a field like an animal until he learned who actually rules. Notice the pattern here. The Lord does not always strike at midnight. Sometimes He hands a man over to his own pride and lets the unraveling do the work. Nations are not exempt. Jerusalem rejected her Messiah and within a generation the temple was rubble. Tyre boasted in her wealth and became a place where fishermen dry their nets. Rome decorated her decadence with prayers to gods she did not fear, and the empire collapsed under its own weight. The lesson is not that God is slow. The lesson is that God is patient, and patience is not permission. A republic that wears the cross as a costume while threatening the deaths of civilians has not enlisted heaven. It has invited a reckoning. Pray for the men who think otherwise. Then put your own house in order. The lesson always ends. The only question is what remains when it does. #ToChristAlone

The men who know what they know hold their ground. They stack where they stand. And they trust providence to arrange the geography of who meets whom. View quoted note →

Turned off the Bitcoin conference. Couldn’t keep watching. The stage is unrecognizable from where this started. New faces parroting old enemies. Heresies introduced as innovations. Government framing applauded as maturity. Is this what capture looks like when it’s polite. Where’s our Nostr peeps? They need the main stage!

Look, they want the “Baal Room”. We deserve better FedSlop.

@TFTC why did you delete this?

Leon, a real estate GUY at the Bitcoin conference says real estate is the same as Bitcoin because “store of value, scarce.” He needs to help!

Hopefully someone is going to be doing a full recap of this week since not everyone could make the #bitcoin conference in Vegas!

Give your kids the tools and watch them build! Name the riff?

We all carry it. That low hum underneath everything that says something is wrong inside of us. The habit you swore off. The pattern you’ve outgrown three times and somehow inherit again. The version of yourself you promised you were done with, who keeps showing up wearing your face. I told myself “never again” for years. Meant it every time. And every time, I drifted back like it had a gravitational pull I didn’t get to vote on. Was I lying to myself? Probably. Yes, definitely. I didn’t want the desires. I was tired of it. But in the loneliness I’d reach for it anyway. Not because it worked. Because it was familiar. The conscience goes quiet by degrees. You don’t notice the calluses until one day you can touch the hot thing and not flinch. The wrestle isn’t a glitch, It’s our wiring. The pull toward self is louder than the pull toward what’s good for you. The rot goes all the way through. You can’t out discipline it. You can’t out think it. You can’t optimize, biohack, or therapy it into submission. I tried. For years. What I am, on my own, is a dead man. And a dead man only sinks. He doesn’t swim back to shore by trying harder. He gets pulled out, or he doesn’t. I needed something from outside of me. That’s where I finally found ground. If you’re reading this and you know exactly what I’m describing, listen. You are not alone in this fight. The thing you think makes you uniquely broken is the most universal thing about you. Stop trying to be your own savior. The exhaustion lifts the moment you stop drowning in your own rescue attempts. This is more important than the career. More important than the portfolio. More important than the protocol, the followers, the next move, the next milestone. You can win every other game on the board and lose this one and lose everything. Seek Christ. Not a better version of yourself. Not a sharper plan. Christ. The one who pulls dead men out of the water and gives them lungs that work. He has not lost a single one He came for. You are not too far. You are not too late. You are not the exception. Bring the hidden thing into the light. Then look outside yourself for the rescue you were never going to manage on your own. He’s already reaching.

GM. A household that prays, builds, and saves is a foreign policy. Conduct yours accordingly.

Gm. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Gn Nostr. Tomorrow we worship the Lord Jesus Christ. CIK #ToChristAlone
