I’ve got something exciting to share with you very soon—a new song I’ve written with CityAlight. I think it has come together wonderfully, and I can’t wait to share it. If you’re at the Sing! conference, you can hear it there on Tuesday evening. If not, check in right here on Wednesday.
Today’s Kindle deals include some excellent new deals to kick off the month. They include a brand new one by Iain Duguid that you’ll want to check out.
The Coming Psychedelic Moment
Here’s an interesting look at the rise (re-rise?) of psychedelics. “The charts make clear the trend: for all kinds of reasons, the inner life of Americans—and especially those under 35—is a mess.

Flashback: An Honest Man and an Open Bible
Tozer once said that “an honest man with an open Bible and a pad and pencil is sure to find out what is wrong with him very quickly,” and Psalm 19 provides a clear example from the life of David.
The medicine you have to drink is very bitter, but the unerring Physician measured all the ingredients drop by drop, and then mixed them in the very way in which they could best work for your highest good. Nothing in this world happens by chance.
—C.H. Spurgeon
