Are you in the business of busy-ness? It's an easy trap to fall into for a lot of us. Is there a healthy kind of busy in which we can engage? Would you be surprised if the answer is “yes?” Busyness is widespread these days, and as the culture becomes more segmented and the digital and tangible worlds become more enmeshed, we can busy ourselves with things that are really counter productive to our lives. Brian and Bryan springboard off of the ideas in Kevin DeYoung's book Crazy Busy to discuss what types of things we can busy ourselves with, how we can engage in a healthy type of busyness in our lives, and what our priorities are as Christians. Our prayer is that this timely conversation is a big help to you—especially in the seasons of life where our schedules feel like they're bursting at the seams!

Marriage is a wonderful gift given to us by God for our good, the good of our children, and ultimately the good of the world. And yet, despite this, marriage is hard and we often have questions.

For as much as the CFH talks about inclusion and the free exchange of ideas, it is clear that the present leadership of the historical guild assumes conclusions on the left. In this response to a recent article published by Jay Green, Kevin discusses the pitfalls of using history for activist purposes.

Several months ago, Daniel McCarthy—editor of Modern Age and Editor-at-Large of The American Conservative—published an essay in First Things entitled “The Right Right.” McCarthy's essay was a review of Yoram Hazony's Conservatism: A Rediscovery and Matthew Continetti's The Right: The Hundred-Year War for American Conservatism. In this episode of LBE, McCarthy talks about what was commendable in both books, and where both works can be fairly critiqued. Kevin asks Daniel about his review, about Willmoore Kendall's populist conservatism, and how to reaffirm the importance of Christianity as “public truth” in America.

In this article written for Crossway, Kevin discusses the meaning of the term "marriage" and how Christians should view same-sex unions.

With so many sad things in our world, it can be difficult to see any bright spots. This article reminds Christians of the hope of Christmas.

In this episode of Life and Books and Everything, Kevin reads his article from The Gospel Coalition and pleads with pastors not to cancel Christmas services this year.

Israel was baptized through the Red Sea. They sang a song of victory and rejoiced in the grace of God. But... most of those celebrating that day did not make it home to the promised land. Why not? Pride. They began to feel entitled, and that caused them to turn attention from God to themselves. Part of our episode today will investigate the  mistakes of Israel in I Corinthians 10. How can we be less like them, more dependent on God, and beautifully humble? We will also list 8 things from Kevin Deyoung's book, Crazy Busy. These words, all starting with the letter P (its a Letter P day!) represent more subtle ways that pride sneaks into our lives. Having sought humility in these things, you and I will be better positioned, at the foot of God's throne, to be more useful to Him."A Manifestation of the Many Manifestations of Pride" (pg 35-38)- People Pleasing- Pats on the Back- Performance Evaluation- Proving Myself- Possessions- Prestige- Pity- PostingOoh, I see some of my own pride in that list. But what does our year look like if we know where we need to be humble? If we ask the question: "is this about me? And if it was about God and others, how different would it look?" May the Lord, who has blessed us in His grace and Spirit and Son, use us well and give us a life of gratitude, thankfulness, and service. 

Every day we're bombarded with messages and ideas that vie for our attention and acceptance. And with the internet and social media dominating so much of our lives, the need for spiritual discernment, the ability to rightly evaluate those ideas through the lens of scripture, is critically important. And yet, it seems that many Christians, including many Christian leaders, lack spiritual discernment, constantly falling prey to the latest trend and sucked into the latest con. In this interview, Tim Challies defines and discusses the importance of spiritual discernment. Tim Challies is a self-employed web designer and a pioneer in the Christian blogosphere, having one of the most widely read and recognized Christian blogs, Challies.com. He is also the editor of DiscerningReader.com, a site dedicated to offering thoughtful reviews of books that are of interest to Christians.
