Listen. As a millennial and person who served as a pastor for like six minutes before getting sick of the abject poverty (which was somehow worse than journalism wages), you need to take this down immediately because I did not write it and it's brilliant.

Knock it off.

You're a talented writer and I of course think you deserve to value your talent. I'd be happy to become a paying customer!

Matthew Pierce writes things that are funny. Babylon Bee would not know what to do with that.

Some faves from this:

"Google AI is reportedly “self aware,” which is a phrase that you use to describe your spiritual journey when the restoration committee asks for an update."

"but whatever, some people are just divisive."

Was also really hoping I wouldn't remember the "late-90s Christian ska song" you used but yes,... unfortunately I did. :-(

I also plan to say this upon undertaking any difficult group task in the future: "follow me into the breach as the spirit of Gordon Fee possesses me"

and I'm interested in hearing from “youth pastor island” for sure. ;-)
