Where's the Good Stuff this week?
Friday 10/17/25 roundup of what I've discovered on Substack
‘Good Stuff’ = blog posts I’ve read this week that inspired, educated, entertained, or moved me.
Ok, I’m not shy about it: it’s my birthday today! I’m entering my last year before I turn 60, so I’m planning on enjoying my last day in the 50s age category! 🎂
Which for a Free Range Priest, means reading more amazing, inspiring things about God, the church, the universe, and running.
Here’s this week’s roundup:
God stuff
‘I Thought I Didn’t Need God. I Was Wrong', by Charles Murray. “Why is there something rather than nothing?”
‘When the Soul Forgets to Breathe’, by

Church stuff
‘Why we’re tempted to - and shouldn’t - embrace decline’, by
. The church needs to be growing.‘On Being a Hotel Monk’, by Chad Brooks. Christian practice where you are. Literally.
Other stuff

. How the invention of the humble shipping container made today’s world possible.
