Brian recaps a whirlwind weekend driving to visit his college freshman son, watching Sunday Night Football together, and reflects on how family time reorders priorities better than anything else in life. He digs into a Christianity Today piece pushing back on the popular but misattributed C.S. Lewis quote that humility is "thinking of yourself less," arguing true Christian humility is self-sacrificial love modeled on Christ rather than mere self-forgetfulness. Brian raises alarm over the growing "no contact" trend of adult children cutting off parents over relatively minor disagreements, drawing on a new book critiquing the ideology behind it and calling the church to model grace, forgiveness, and the hard work of reconciliation instead. He discusses a Tim Challies piece arguing the Bible's power isn't tied to any physical medium — book, scroll, or phone screen — and a related Christianity Today article on the return of hymnals, arguing the real question is theological substance, not format. He also reflects wryly on 1990s evangelical culture-war panics over Pokémon and Harry Potter as a caution against losing focus on the church's true calling, and closes with JD Greer's teaching on the warning signs of spiritual lukewarmness — prayerlessness, minimized sin, and a transactional relationship with God.
