Being Christian-ish
I’ve never watched the show, but I understand “Black-ish” has to do with children who are not fully one race or another and they have cultural issues about their identity.
The name of that show made me wonder if we may be “Christian-ish” — not fully all in as Christians and so we have issues about our identity. Some days we are ALL IN as devoted followers of Christ and other days we are weak,…

I remember I first got into jjba bc I liked giornos theme and I thought he was some main villain and the main character (Jojo I assumed) tries to defeat him over the course of like 2 seasons or something, then I saw fanart of Joseph getting railed by Caesar and was like "🤨" and put off watching it for another few years bc I thought it was like ybc and only found out it wasn't by reading the comments of a Yoshikage thirst trap vid💀

“Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.” —Titus 2:2 (NASB1995)
“Sunday Check-In With Dr. Stanley: What It Takes” By In Touch Ministries:
“In God's Word, fathers can find the wisdom they need for leading their families.”
“There are dozens of parenting manuals out there, each promising to make a man a better father. But in today’s passage—just 15 words in total—the apostle Paul provides more helpful guidance than a shelf full of books.
Titus 2:2 tells us that an older man tasked with leading others must be “temperate,” or free from negative influences that can cloud his judgment. He must also strive to be “dignified,” which involves being honorable and worthy of respect. Likewise, a good father must be self-controlled and live in what Strong’s Concordance refers to as “God-defined balance.” In other words, he must strive to remain even-keeled, calm, and peaceable, no matter what.
But all these positive traits aren’t worth much without the remaining characteristics Paul lists: An older man must also be “sound in faith, in love, [and] in perseverance.” A man isn’t meant to be all hard edges and uncompromising principles. He should be tender and kind as well. He must love others in the various ways Christ makes possible.
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.” —1 John 4:7-9 (NASB1995)
This advice may seem too difficult, but remember that all things are possible with God (Matthew 19:26). Every one of us needs to grow in Christlikeness. So where would you like to start?”

You ever think about how in First Strike the Chief reflects on how annoying it is when soldiers can face their own deaths without blinking but retreat to lies and denial when faced with a teammate dying, and how in Halo 4 his response to Cortana's rampancy is to spend the whole game plugging his ears and saying "lalala mom will fix this I can't hear you!"?
