Here is a helpful article by Russell Moore on the new Netflix tv show "13 Reasons Why." Moore writes, "Whatever is streaming on Netflix, though, we can be the kind of church that speaks of life and hope to those who see death as their only way out.

While driving with them on, I get distracted by all the different shades of colors that I normally don't see. Check out Enchroma.

And lastly, this article from Jared Wilson entitled Grace and The Non-Instagrammable Church.
