Visual noise
That's my perception of MBird's new format. Content curators have avoided more than occasional, veiled references to national and international events, which I find preposterous and disturbing.
Can't pretend indifference is ok
I was stunned that, in the wake of Renee Good's murder, your following home church sermon was on self-validation. At least one of your ministers spoke up in 2017 when an extremist killed Heather Heyer. What has happened since then?
Your policy seems to be "Ignore everything; acknowledge nothing." Could you, a single time, devote space to the state of our government which, with abandon, kidnaps, illegally imprisons, and murders both citizens and immigrants—and believes it has a divine right to overthrow any vulnerable sovereign nation it pleases? Or has your diocesan bishop forbidden it?
Ignoring the current chaos is a cop-out (intentional pun). If fear motivates your silence, remember Esther. What are ministries for anyway? Take a cue from Sojourners Magazine.

Please skip one movie analysis and instead write in depth, devoting more than vague reference, to the state of our government which, with abandon, kidnaps and murders both citizens and immigrants—and believes it has a divine right to overthrow any vulnerable sovereign nation it pleases.

A cup of cheer
Magazine and podcasts that bring hope and grace during winter drear and troubling times throughout the year. Thank you!
Hurtling into oblivion
Much discussion of tv and movies, with obscure if any reference to current political and societal breakdown. Some mediocre focus on music, literature, and their genocidal icon Martin Luther. Much navel-gazing drivel. God forbid they make a direct statement as our nation goose steps into the abyss to the drumbeat of a madman. Not at all what I had hoped.

MBird writers discuss tv and movies, with obscure reference to current political and societal breakdown. Some focus on music, again vaguely alluding to why it should matter. Not much else but articles on grace and their genocidal icon Martin Luther. God forbid they make a direct statement as our nation goose steps into the abyss to the drumbeat of a madman.

Grace is their MO
About which I need to learn.
Out of touch
Out of time
Grace!
So down-to-earth, so full of grace, good humor, and relevant content. Never in my life have I experienced anything church-related like this ministry.
A person who has spent a lifetime church-hopping, then running away, I have followed almost all Mbird’s content for four years now. Thank you so much, Dave Zahl and friends.

Love it!
I love it. So appreciate that all the fantastic content produced by mbird can be accessed so easily in one app. TY!
Good news on the go!

From articles to daily devotional readings, this app is organized in such a way that I can clearly get caught up on the daily entries of Mockingbird content. The devotionals have become a gosh darn balm to my weary soul, and often hit me like the deepest truth from a dark country song! 5 stars all around! This app is a gift.

Best App to explore the Christian faith
Incredible user interface, very easy to use platform with tons of podcasts, sermons, articles, etc. My favorite resource for the Christian faith. Makes Christianity practical by relating it to the everyday
Great content and very easy to navigate
This is so much more convenient than a webpage. All the wonderful Mockingbird content. Love the daily devotional reminder feature. Bookmarks are easy. Kudos on this launch!
