\"twitter<\/a><\/p>\n

I recently returned to Twitter after a brief hiatus. To my surprise, I discovered that Twitter has become a great source for finding new spiritual insights and inspiration.<\/p>\n

While it may seem odd, great wisdom and inspiration can be found in 140 characters. Here are my top ten religious “Tweeters.”<\/p>\n

@RickWarren:<\/strong>
\nThe author of the best-selling Purpose Driven Life has a constant stream of biblical verses and pithy insights.<\/p>\n

@PastorMark<\/strong> (Mark Driscoll)
\nThe creative pastor known for his hour-long intellectual sermon offers unusual perspectives on culture and faith.<\/p>\n

@Beliefnet<\/strong>
\nBeliefnet remains the best source for inspirational writing and stories from leaders and thinkers of all faiths.<\/p>\n

@Tribseeker<\/strong> (Manya Brachear)
\nThe fabulous religion reporter for the Chicago Tribune highlights breaking and intriguing news stories.<\/p>\n

@JohnCMaxwell<\/strong>
\nThe Pastor and leadership author delivers inspiring quotes and insights<\/p>\n

@BradLomenick<\/strong>
\nI’m a huge fan of Catalyst, which engages and encourages young Christian leaders. I wish we had a Jewish equivalent.<\/p>\n

@URJ<\/strong> (Union for Reform Judaism)
\nThe organizing body of the Reform Jewish movement highlights news and perspectives from all over the world.<\/p>\n

@RabbiJason<\/strong> (Jason Miller)
\nA fellow social media rabbi who combines great news and humor and insight.<\/p>\n

@ChiefRabbi<\/strong>
\nLord Jonathan Sacks, the Chief Rabbi of Great Britain, is one of the most articulate religious leaders in the world today.<\/p>\n

@imabima<\/strong>
\nRabbi Phyllis Sommers ruminates with humor and thoughtfulness on being a mom and a rabbi.<\/p>\n

There are many many more.<\/p>\n

Who are your favorite spiritual voices on Twitter?<\/strong><\/p>\n
