I have updated my fediverse handle on mirco.blog to reflect my website. If you’re following me on the fediverse, be sure to give me a follow at @dan@danielmrose.com
Happy #OpeningDay Detroit Tigers fans! For the next few months we will get to enjoy the joys, the struggles, and the daily rhythm of our baseball team.
I.
Can’t.
Wait.
Why work inside when you can work outside? Spring is apparently here!
Yesterday I officiated the funeral for a 96 year old saint. He was one of those men whose public and private life matched up. A man who quietly and authentically loved God and people well.
I will miss seeing him in the front pew and welcoming me each Sunday morning.
I was off this morning. Just one of those days where everything was a bit off from announcements, to the prayers, and particularly the sermon.
There was grace when I looked and saw that the mic battery had died 5 minutes into the message. 😂😂😂
The Inkwell Mac App is so pretty! Well done @manton! Now, I need to commit to adding feeds. I wish the news site I am subscribed had full RSS functionality. What I mean is that the feed only sends linked headlines and you have to click through to the webstie to get behind the paywall.
Happy new year! The links are open and the golf balls are being lost and found.
My first season of The Pastor Next Door is complete. You can check out each episode here: danielmrose.com/categorie…
Season 2 will be focused on faith deconstruction and reconstruction.
These are meant to function like little webinars. So use them as you see fit.
I read this quote by Sarah Bessey and it resonated:
“I don't want to be swallowed by the darkness. Nor do I want to be blinded by the beautiful facade. No, I want to be part of a people who see the darkness, know it's real, and then, then, then, light a candle anyway. And hold that candle up against the wind and pass along our light wherever it's needed from our own homes, to the halls of legislation, to the church pulpit, to the kitchens of the world.”- Sarah Bessey, Out of Sorts
A Rule of Life isn’t about spiritual perfection.
It’s about creating rhythms you can actually live — rooted in grace, not pressure.
New episode of The Pastor Next Door is out. 🎙️
“Abide in me.” — John 15
1.6 A Rule of Life for Ordinary People 🎙️
A Rule of Life isn’t about rigid structure or spiritual perfection—it’s about creating a simple, sustainable way of life that keeps you rooted in grace.
In this episode, we bring together everything from Season 1—attention, strength, flexibility, and recovery—and shape it into a rhythm you can actually live. Not an ideal life. Your real one.
Thank you World Baseball Classic, that was awesome.
Sweet as honey. Bitter in the stomach.
John eats a scroll. The two witnesses die and rise. The seventh trumpet sounds.
Revelation 10 & 11 has a lot going on — and it all points to one thing: the kingdom wins, but faithful witness is costly.
Revelation 7 - Sweet as Honey, Bitter in the Stomach
To listen to the full unabridged episode: Revelation 7 - Sweet as Honey, Bitter in the Stomach
One of the most important habits we can develop when reading Revelation is remembering what kind of text we’re reading. It’s easy to open a Bible and forget that the various books represent different genres — you wouldn’t read the Psalms the same way you’d read 1 Kings, and you wouldn’t read 1 Kings the same way you’d read Philippians. Revelation is its own thing entirely.
This is a text of apocalypse — a revealing, a peeling back of spiritual realities. It’s written primarily in metaphor and symbol, giving us word pictures of things that are real but not literal. Not history. Not a timeline. A vision.
