I appreciate the push towards institutional thinking. We need more of that. I don't agree with all of your outworkings of this (for instance, I would not support churches marrying non-members) but you've put solid thought into this. Very well written article, as always.

Thanks brother! Honestly I’ve wrestled with the same thing regarding marriages, very likely my perspective could change in the future.

This is such a good take. I’ve truly enjoyed everything you have written. On a super practical note, how long does it take for you to write these on average?

Wow man, thank you so much for your generosity and encouragement!

Time is a bit hard to gauge, if I have a minute to spare I’ll write a sentence or a paragraph. I would estimate a post like this takes 3-4 hours? I typically spend time each evening once the kids are asleep, maybe 20 minutes.
