Podcast: During my blog break, Brandon Smith and I released several new episodes of Word Matters.

Kindle Deal: The Most Misused Stories in the Bible: Surprising Ways Popular Bible Stories Are Misunderstood by Eric Bargerhuff $3.99.

Seven of the best articles I came across this week:

1. Kevin Vanhoozer – Letter to an Aspiring Theologian. “Becoming a theologian involves not only coming to know God (theology is simultaneously art, science, and craft), but also becoming a certain kind of person, one whose created intelligence has been illumined by the Holy Spirit.”

2. Chris Nye – The Wise Do Not Always Weigh InWhen do you weigh in? And when do you stay quiet? Do we have to have a tweet for everything that happens?

3. Jeff Maysh – How an Ex-cop Rigged McDonald’s Monopoly Game and Stole MillionsThis story seems almost too crazy to be true. Moviemakers, get on it!

4. Carol Pipes – LifeWay Named One of America’s Best Employers for Women by Forbes. Proud to be at LifeWay and especially proud of the women leaders I get to serve alongside every day.

5. Jaclyn Parrish – 5 Ways to Be a Healthy Member of an Unhealthy ChurchWisdom here for believers in challenging church situations.

6. Bradley Birzer – C. S. Lewis and the Abolition of “Progress.” Lewis would visibly cringe when he heard the use of the word progress or progressive, believing these terms not only false but truly dangerous to the very health of humanity.

7. Pew Research – Why Americans Go to Church or Stay Home. Among regular attenders of religious services: 2 in 3 go because of their kids, Catholics half as likely as Protestants to value sermons, and 1 in 5 don’t usually feel God’s presence.
