Poets At War
By Joshua Ling
Christians who are artists, artisans, and creators are a unique unit in The War on Culture. They're often over and under-estimated at the same time. What does it take to be an artist, and what does it take to win the culture war? Join Joshua David Ling as he rallies the troops to answer these questions and promote the best artists for God's Glory.

Postmillennialism, and an Analysis of Be With You by Rich Mullins
https://joshuadavidling.com
Everybody each and all
We're gonna die eventually
It's no more or less our faults
Than it is our destiny
So now Lord I come to you
Asking only for Your grace
You know what I've put myself through
All those empty dreams I chased
And when my body lies in the ruins
Of the lies that nearly ruined me
Will You pick up the pieces
That were pure and true
And breathe Your life into them
And set them free?
And when/if You start this world over
Again from scratch
Will You make me anew
Out of the stuff that lasts
Stuff that's purer than gold is
And clearer than glass could ever be
Can I be with You?
Can I be with You?
And everybody all and each
From the day that we are born
We have to learn to walk beneath
Those mercies by which we're drawn
And now we wrestle in the dark
With these angels that we can't see
We will move on although with scars
Oh Lord move inside of me
And when my body lies in the ruins
Of the lies that nearly ruined me
Will You pick up the pieces
That were pure and true
And breathe Your life into them
And set them free?
And when/if You blast this cosmos
To kingdom come
When those jagged-edged mountains
I love are gone
When the sky is crossed with the tears
Of a thousand falling suns
As they crash into the sea
Can I be with you?
Can I be with you?

Be Your Family's Bard
https://joshuadavidling.com
Notes I read off of:
0. Introduction
Who this book is for
Why I am writing it
1. What is a Bard?
Shakespeare
Medieval Minstrel
Dungeons and Dragons
The Celtic Wizard Conclusion:
2. Why does your family need one?
Remind
Rejoice
Revitalize
Re-train
3. How will having a Bard in your family affect the world around you?
History will be preserved rightly
Your family will become less pessimistic.
Your family will have strength for trials and the mundane.
Your logical theology will become unshakeable by emotions.
Your family will know what came before, they will be excited for the future, they will have the strength to face the present, and they will be unshakeable before the world.
4. How to be your Family's Bard
Read Poetry and Fiction Aloud and often
Play Music Often
Look for opportunities to quote things they already know.
Make and Preserve a Family History
It's a lifestyle of discipleship, NOT cramming information.
5. Conclusion/Exhortation
