They Were Good Nails

"They hailed him, trembling, to the judgement seat. / 'Oh Lord, behold the man who made the nails that pierced thy feet.' / The Master laid a thin, scarred hand upon the shame-bowed head. / 'They were good nails,' He said." - from Judgement, by Kenneth Wiggins Porter

Introducing my latest print: “Co-Crucifixion (Galatians 2:20)”

"Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not “mine,” but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that."  -- Galatians 2:20 (The Message)

Galatians 2:20 gives me hope. Hope that I am not stuck in the past. Hope that I’m not relegated to sitting on my hands, waiting for the future to become the present. Hope that I am still useful.

Note that Paul is describing a death that already happened, not one he’s waiting for. That older identity, stitched together from achievements and anxieties alike, no longer gets the last word. What rises in its place is a new life that draws its energy from a different source. Paul insists that he’s still very much alive, still walking, choosing, speaking—but his center has changed. “Christ lives in me” is startling because it’s so intimate. This isn’t mimicry or moral self-improvement; it’s communion. His daily decisions, his courage, even his ability to love are things borrowed from the One who now indwells him.

And then he brings it down from the clouds to the everyday: “the life I now live… I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” That final clause cracks open the whole verse. The engine of this new life isn’t duty or fear but a very personal love—a love that moved first, gave itself first, and abides within him. When I dare to have faith, I am actively trusting Jesus to move and breathe and work through me.

I designed “Co-Crucifixion” with part of the English text of the verse on the left side of the image, and the first two Greek words of the verse on the sign above the cross: συνεσταύρωμαι  Χριστῷ, transliterated as “systauroō christos;” “I have been crucified [alongside] with Christ.”

It’s my sincere prayer that this print will be edifying to you and yours this Christmas season as we celebrate the birth of the one who came alongside us in our death so that we might have life.

Now available in your choice of a framed print or a canvas wrap, in three sizes to fit your budget and décor.

Igniting the Web of Compassion: The art and science of leading through genuine empathy

In a world where we scroll more than we speak and double-tap more than we truly listen, “connection” has started to feel like a buzzword. We all want it—deeper relationships with the people who follow our work, our words, our stories—but it’s easy to forget what actually creates it.

At the heart of every meaningful digital relationship is one simple, deeply human ingredient: compassion. Compassion is what turns a quiet audience into a community. It’s what transforms followers into people who feel understood, appreciated, and genuinely seen. And if you want to build real, lasting connections online, it’s where everything begins.

Why Compassion Matters More Than Ever

Social media moves fast, and because of that speed, it can often feel like a loud, crowded room where everyone is talking but no one is really listening. In that kind of environment, compassion becomes a breath of fresh air.

Compassion slows things down. It adds warmth where the internet can feel cold and transactional. It reminds your followers that behind the posts and the content calendars, there’s a person who cares.

And that feeling—of being cared for because of who and what you are—that is what people remember.

How Compassion Helps You Build Stronger Connections

1. Compassion Creates Emotional Safety

When your audience knows you’re someone who listens with kindness, they feel safer sharing their thoughts, their stories, even their struggles.

That sense of safety is the foundation of a supportive, engaged community. And it’s something algorithms can never manufacture.

2. Compassion Builds Trust

Trust doesn’t come from perfectly curated posts. Trust is built from the ground up through sincerity.

When you show compassion—whether you’re responding to a message or acknowledging a tough topic—you’re sending a quiet but powerful message: “You matter here.”

And trust grows from that.

3. Compassion Encourages Meaningful Engagement

When you lead with compassion, the conversations you create go beyond emojis and quick comments.

People start opening up. They share stories. They genuinely want to connect with you—and with each other.

This is where real community begins to form.

4. Compassion Helps You Show Up Consistently

Compassion isn’t just outward-facing; learn to practice it with yourself too.

Creators who take care of their own mental and emotional well-being are more able to show up for their audience in meaningful, sustainable ways. Burnout shrinks communities. Compassion—inside and out—helps them thrive.

Practical Ways to Show Compassion to Your Followers

If you’re wondering how to bring more compassion into your online space, here are a few gentle places to start:

Listen first.

Read comments and messages with the intention to understand, not just to reply. Sometimes people simply want to be heard.

Respond thoughtfully.

A small personalized response goes a long way. It shows you’re not just reacting, but connecting.

Share your human side.

You don’t have to overshare to be authentic, but don’t be afraid to be remarkably genuine. The moments you let people see your growth, your learning, your imperfections—those are the moments that build warmth.

Create content that cares.

Choose topics that support your followers’ needs. Ask what they’re struggling with. Offer insight or comfort where you can.

Make your space inclusive and welcoming.

A compassionate community is one where people feel safe to show up as themselves and to express different perspectives with respect.

The Ripple Effect of Compassion

One of the most beautiful things about compassion is how contagious it is.

When you lead with kindness, your community begins to mirror it. Followers become supporters. Supporters become advocates. Conversations become richer, warmer, more meaningful.

And suddenly, your corner of the internet isn’t just another feed. It’s a place where people come to feel inspired, supported, and connected.

Final Thoughts

Compassion isn’t a “strategy.” It’s a way of showing up.

It’s the quiet force that deepens relationships, strengthens trust, and builds communities that last far beyond a single post or trend.

So the next time you show up online—whether you’re sharing a story, posting a photo, or replying to a comment—try bringing a little compassion with you. You might be surprised by how far it travels.

What’s one compassionate action you can take with your community today?

Presenting The Last Dove’s Flight (2025 Edition)

The Last Dove’s Flight

Jason Christopher Hackwith

"The dove descending breaks the air / with flame of incandescent terror"  -- T.S. Eliot, Little Gidding

The last dove’s flight into the world

Was brutally ended, wings ripped from her back,

Thrown to the ground to spite her children.

As we watched, numb, stricken with grief,

Wringing our weeping hands,

The best of us tried in vain to save her;

The worst of us turned away.

She had just arisen, launched from her nest.

Her abandoned chicks, unable to rear themselves,

Wait patiently for her to return. No more.

And the world, this world that once was free—

Or was it ever?—reels, staggers drunkenly,

Soaked with blood. The blood cries out for her;

And I fear, I fear—oh how I fear

She will not fly again.

I came upstairs to find the TV on, my mother standing there with a look on her face I had never seen before. As my foot hit the last step into the living room, the second plane hit the World Trade Center. I was then, and remain, devastated.

In the days that followed, I wrote a piece for solo cello and chamber orchestra in memory of the first responders and service personnel who gave their lives, titled "The Last Dove's Flight." I also wrote a poem with the same title. I present both once again, in memory of those we can never forget.

Two and a half decades later from that life-altering event, I am publishing a collection of my poetry, music, illustrations and typography called the river Beautiful. It is my sincere hope that you will give me the honor of coming along with me on this journey.

The known and the unknown

On August 7th, only a little more than a week away, I will be undergoing open heart surgery in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. I very much appreciate your prayers! There are some things I know, and some things that I don’t know at this point.

I know that—assuming everything goes as planned—I will be in the ICU for a day or two and in the hospital for about a week. Firewind will be closed from 8/6/2025 until about the 15th or 16th at least. When I get back home, I am going to focus first on healing, but I don’t anticipate any issues working at my desk.

I should be able to finish up current projects in a timely manner but they will almost certainly be delayed a bit depending on how my healing progresses. What I don’t know is exactly how long. I plan on playing things by ear, but I will keep everybody updated.

[jasonhackwith]

Come now, ye wretched…

Come now, ye wretched,

Come out of the Shadows,

Arise now and lift up your face to the dawn:

The Silence is broken,

A Word now is spoken

And all of the Shadows at once are all gone!

Each tear you have cried is more precious than silver

To the One who cried with you, whom you now behold:

Come now, ye wretched,

Beloved of God.

from the river Beautiful, Chapter 7: the breath of night

April showers bring more than flowers

“When the storm is over, the new growth, tiny and light, timid-green, starts edging our on the buses and three limbs. Then Nature brings April rain. It whispers down soft and lonesome, making mists in the hollows and on the trails where you walk under the drippings from hanging branches of trees. It's a good feeling, exciting—but sad too—in April rain. Granpa said he always got that kind of mixed-up feeling. He said it was exciting because something new was being born and it was sad, because you knowed you can't hold onto it. It will pass too quick. April wind is soft and warm as a baby's crib. It breathes on the crab apple tree until white blossoms open out, smeared with pink. The smell is sweeter than honeysuckle and brings bees swarming over the blossoms. Mountain laurel with pink-white blooms and purple centers grow everywhere, from the hollows to the top of the mountain, alongside of the dogtooth violet... Then, when April gets its warmest, all of a sudden the cold hits you. It stays cold for four or five days. This is to make the blackberries bloom and is called "blackberry winter." The blackberries will not bloom without it. That's why some years there are no blackberries. When it ends, that's when the dogwoods bloom out like snowballs over the mountainside in places you never suspicioned they grew: in a pine grove or stand of oak of a sudden there's a big burst of white.” —Forrest Carter

I think there are a lot of well-meaning people who still don't understand the damage that has been done, and continues to be done, to the Church. We will answer for every soul that is lost because of our failure to see.

[jasonhackwith]

Have we lost the plot? Do you really know Jesus at all?

Jeremiah 22:16 says that judging righteously the cause of the poor and needy is HOW WE KNOW HIM.

Wow.

Do you really know Jesus at all, or have you lost the plot? This is incredibly convicting for me this morning.

How we treat the poor matters to Jesus, and it should matter to us. It’s not a little thing, the cruelty currently being directed at the poor in the United States. It’s a matter of life and death.

Think I’m being harsh? Don't take my word for it. Here's what the Word says. These are just a few of the 2000+ verses in the Bible unveiling God's heart for the poor, the sojourner, the stranger, the widow and orphan:

"When you come back again / Can you bring me something from the fridge / Heard a rumor that the end is near / But I just got comfortable here..."  -- Newsboys, from "Lost the Plot"

"Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms by injustice, who makes his neighbor serve him for nothing and does not give him his wages, who says, ‘I will build myself a great house with spacious upper rooms,’ who cuts out windows for it, paneling it with cedar and painting it with vermilion. Do you think you are a king because you compete in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him. He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Is not this to know me? declares the Lord. But you have eyes and heart only for your dishonest gain, for shedding innocent blood, and for practicing oppression and violence.” —Jeremiah 22:13-17

"They have grown fat and sleek. They know no bounds in deeds of evil; they judge not with justice the cause of the fatherless, to make it prosper, and they do not defend the rights of the needy." Jeremiah 5:28

"Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel." Proverbs 12:10

"To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more." Psalm 10:18

"Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe and runs after gifts. They do not bring justice to the fatherless, and the widow's cause does not come to them." Isaiah 1:23

"Because I delivered the poor who cried for help, and the fatherless who had none to help him." Job 29:12

"When the ear heard, it called me blessed, and when the eye saw, it approved, because I delivered the poor who cried for help, and the fatherless who had none to help him. The blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy. I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a turban. I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame. I was a father to the needy, and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know. I broke tthe fangs of the unrighteous and made him drop his prey from his teeth." Job 29:11-17

"Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?" Proverbs 24:11-12

"Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him." Proverbs 14:31

"Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner, but blessed is he who is generous to the poor." Proverbs 14:21

"In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’" Acts 20:35

"But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation, that you may take it into your hands; to you the helpless commits himself; you have been the helper of the fatherless." Psalm 10:14

"Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker; he who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished." Proverbs 17:5

"The Lord watches over the sojourners; he upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin." Psalm 146:9

"Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?" Isaiah 58:6-7

"Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor." Proverbs 22:9

"Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy." Proverbs 31:9

"Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you.'" Hebrews 13:5

"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" Micah 6:8

"My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have led them astray, turning them away on the mountains. From mountain to hill they have gone. They have forgotten their fold. All who found them have devoured them, and their enemies have said, ‘We are not guilty, for they have sinned against the Lord, their habitation of righteousness, the Lord, the hope of their fathers.’" Jeremiah 50:6-7

"If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, but you shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be. Take care lest there be an unworthy thought in your heart and you say, ‘The seventh year, the year of release is near,’ and your teye look grudgingly on your poor brother, and you give him nothing, and he cry to the Lord against you, and you be guilty of sin. You shall give to him freely, and your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because for this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake. For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’" Deuteronomy 15:7-11

…and of course:

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit sthe kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these dmy brothers, you did it to me.’

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Matthew 25:31-46

Have we forgotten our first Love by failing to love the poor and needy, sojourner and refugee, widow and orphan—not just with words but with deeds? Do we really know Him at all, or have we lost the plot?

Nikita Gill, from Your Heart is the Sea: Poems; "Your Heart is the Sea," originally published in 2018

[jasonhackwith]

"If someone does something kind for me, I assume they're not a Christian."

Utterly broken by that. Let it sink in.

Who are you following? The Jesus who ate with tax collectors and sinners? Do you even know where He is? Let me give you a few hints.

He's not in your cold, sterile faith that advocates for unjust laws that crucify the poor, tears families apart and keeps marginalized communities marginalized.

He's not with a faith that abuses the local waitress after you get done singing for an hour about how kind He's been to you.

He's not with you when you bow down at the feet of Mammon and worship the golden calf.

He's definitely not with you when you wallow in abject fear of anyone who doesn't look like you, think like you, or worship like you.

Where is Jesus? He's hanging out in the gay bars, gently causing quiet revolutions of the heart. He's comforting a sobbing trans kid who can't figure out who they are, giving them the strength to live another day. He's giving a battered woman the last ounce of desperate strength to escape her abuser.

He's with the poor. He's with the migrant workers who are good enough to pick your apples and pay your taxes but aren't good enough to live without fear.

He's with the very people you hate the most: loving them perfectly, without any of the conditions you place upon your own love.

Are you going to follow Him? Choose this day whom you will serve.

Matthew 25:31-46

from the PREFACE to the river Beautiful

Poetry is a bright light, illuminating the farthest, most desolate reaches of the soul. Poetry is darker than midnight; a useful mask, opaque and forbidding. I love the dichotomy of poetry, the paradox of it: day and night and shades of twilight rolled up into one. It’s easy to hide the heart behind colorful metaphors and well-turned phrases—even as you disclose the deepest depths of your heart to the world.

Poetry has been such a hiding place for me in the darkest times of my life, and the brightest. The strange pulling of a blank page yearning to be filled, the catharsis of the release of emotions; the indescribable feeling when you read and reread the finished poem and feel the truth captured there, fluttering like a caged bird. It always seems to me as if I am a minor part of the process. I’m just moving the pen. CONTINUE READING →

The River road is dangerous to my pride. Do I dare to walk on?

Zach Meerkreebs opens up about the differences between humiliation and humility.

“[Humiliation is] actually a humbling moment,” Zach says, “narrated by the wrong person. Narrated by the world, or narrated by Satan. But when you allow… maybe even, invite: ‘Jesus, how would you narrate this specific moment?’ And how can I look a little more like you by the time this is all done? This humiliating moment could actually become a very real humbling moment. And I believe humility is the greatest virtue of a Christ-follower. I think what makes Jesus stick out in the world is humility.

“In this moment of not getting a job, or going through a divorce, or not being accepted for that program, or being fired— whatever it is, how mighty you ask the question, ‘Jesus, this feels like, so humiliating… could you help narrate it that I might look a little more like you in humility, and not find myself in a pit of humiliation?’”

Zack Meerkreebs has an amazing book called “Lower: Igniting Spiritual Awakening Through Radical Humility,” and we can’t recommend it enough. Here’s the audiobook, read by the smooth baritone tones of Charles Constant and published by Faith Words.

In a world where empathy is actually being described as a ‘sin’ by some deceived folks with seared or wicked consciences, humility must be complete anethema. But it is key to following Christ.
