📺 After the Benediction drops today — a 10-part exposé of how Caesar claims the altar, raids sanctuaries, and bends worship to bless violence. The counter-liturgy of Jesus still resists. The binge is ready.

💔 Twenty years ago today, I lost my mom.
But she was never just “my mom.” She was a peacemaker, a Franciscan, a quiet revolutionary who lived the Beatitudes as if they were a roadmap.

Her story isn’t only about how she died — it’s about how she lived: faithfully, fiercely, fully.

What happened in the Cabinet Room on August 26, 2025 wasn’t chaos. It was ritual. A liturgy of power disguised as prayer. This 6-part series exposes the moment faith was bent to serve empire.

The Liturgy of Power: The Golden Calf at the Resolute Desk A Six-Part Investigative–Theological Series

On August 26, 2025, the world was told it was “just a Cabinet meeting.” Reporters called it “chaotic,” “rambling,” “confusing.” But beneath the noise was something far more deliberate: a liturgy of power.

When Truth Is Fudged: Why Discipleship Demands Honest Numbers A war on statistics is a war on reality — and faithfulness refuses to live by lies.

They can Sharpie the maps.
They can bury the numbers.
They can erase the records.

But truth doesn’t bend — and discipleship demands we stand when power rewrites reality.

An Unholy Escalation When Power Forgets Mercy: Why the Gospel Demands We Resist the March Toward Authoritarianism

Chicago said no.
Pritzker stood on the riverfront and told Trump: “Mr. President, do not come to Chicago.”

This isn’t just politics. It’s power without mercy. It’s the Gospel versus empire — and the Church cannot stay silent.

The Wrong Answer to the Right Question Why Trump’s Heaven Comment Exposes the Church’s Double Standard

Faith was never meant to be a formula. Not a prayer card. Not a ticket stub. When even Trump gives the ‘wrong answer,’ maybe it’s time the church remembers the right one. #Faith #Grace #Trump #Evangelical #Christianity

The Lost Cause never died. It was rebranded—and now it marches under the red hat of MAGA.
History is sacred. Memory matters. Faith demands truth.

The Lie, the Power Grab, and the Match How Trump’s false Jefferson statue story reveals the deeper danger

🔥 The lie about “saving” the Jefferson statue isn’t nostalgia—it’s a warning. He’s lighting the match, pointing to the target, and telling you the fire is already burning. Believe him.
