| 1623664603522600967 | Great reporting from @bobsmietana on the latest iteration of @timkellernyc's #ChristianMindProject & his partnership with @TGC. I'm tempted to change my header to "David Dark's Pre-Evangelism Ad Campaign, but I'll hold off for now. Stay safe, everyone. https://t.co/9k0P26DYnf | 4 |
| 1624118703452479489 | 2. Jesus is coming to #SuperBowlLVII — to the commercials, that is. Two ads. Ninety seconds. A $20 million price tag. Among the week's best reads @HollyAMeyer, @bobsmietana and @Mark_Kellner delve into the pricey campaign and its backers. https://t.co/LwpxwLaPA5 #SuperBowlLVII | 3 |
| 1625264484024459265 | Hey @bobsmietana, if you or RNS cover this event, we'd hope to see some context and questions about the history of revival at Asbury and the lack of transformative change. Know you do a phenomenal job and hope the narrative from Asbury is examined. | 3 |
| 1624423021191524352 | In @bobbyross’ Plug-in, the big story: #SuperBowlLVII (@HollyAMeyer, @bobsmietana, @Mark_Kellner, @ClementeLisi). Plus no justice (@kateshellnutt), whistleblower scoop (@PaulGlader, @religiongal), ‘disaster of the century’ (@YonatShimron) and more! https://t.co/95d6m3ptj2 | 3 |
| 1624954260151742464 | @LowerLeavell This is how it’s done. Echo church took down the video of MaRk DrIsCoLl being interviewed by AnDy WoOd after @bobsmietana interviewed us for an article last summer where he watched that video and wrote about Andy’s admiration of Mark. They scrubbed it all from the website. | 3 |

| 1625971593020145666 | @bobsmietana I’ll always love cinnamon rolls! And the reviews I’ve done have always been independent of the holy post 😄 fear not!! | 12 |

| 1623667700806348801 | @DavidDark @bobsmietana @timkellernyc @TGC “Many of our neighbors view Christianity as yesterday’s news but also as the source of today’s problems.” So, none of these folks are willing to ask what their institutions might have done to screw up the message of Jesus? They’re just doubling down on “we’re always right!” | 9 |
| 1626747560835575808 | Oh, this is truly side-splitting - @bobsmietana is acting like Benkert is small potatoes after Ezell put out the hit. Watching Ben Cole and Brent Hobbs figure out what to do with @BartBarber's (former) special friend is 😂 https://t.co/lmndLgFvoI | 8 |
