Alastair Roberts, a theologian and writer, ignites discussion by proposing shorter sermons of just 10–15 minutes. He clarifies his thoughts on Twitter's backlash and emphasizes that teaching should be diversified beyond traditional sermons. Alastair contrasts expository preaching with liturgical exhortation and advocates for engaging all ages in participatory worship. He suggests restoring public Scripture readings and communal meals, envisioning a transformational approach to church life that equips congregations for personal devotion.

Glen Scrivener and Paul Feesey respond to Twitter reactions to the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the supreme court. There have been protests, less-than-civil discourse between the pro-life and the pro-choice, and even debates among pro-lifers. But among all this, can a respectful conversation happen?
