I wish Christians in America would worry a lot less about our nation being Christian and a lot more about our actions being Christlike.

I don't read the Bible anymore, but I still really enjoyed talking about it with @zachwlambert.bsky.social and I'm glad he's actively working to de-weaponize it (is that a word?). I hope you connect with this conversation as much as I did.

Very cool to talk to the one and only @zachwlambert.bsky.social about his brand new book from @brazospress.bsky.social: Better Ways to Read the Bible!

I don't know what those are on Amazon, but I wrote this! www.zachwlambert.org/discussion

Releasing the Epstein files is not about partisan politics; it's about holding predators accountable.

No part of me cares about the party affiliation of those who participated in Epstein's abusive criminal enterprise.

ALL of them should be brought to justice.

I would take the pro-life movement a lot more seriously if they were marching in the streets to demand full funding for SNAP and WIC like they march to protest against abortion.

Trump administration won't use contingency fund to pay November food stamp benefits UPDATED 9 HR AGO V By Tami Luhby

Did y’all know that over 2/3rds of WIC and SNAP beneficiaries are children, elderly, or disabled?

I can’t wait to stay up late on No Kings Eve to eat bites of the Resistance Frog cookies, put pocket Constitutions in my grandchildren’s shoes, and then wake up the next morning for a dance party to all of our favorite Rage Against the Machine songs 💙

I hope someday we defeat fascism and in the far future, No Kings Day is celebrated as a federal holiday, and little children leave out dance mixtapes and cookies for the Resistance Frog, who leaves pocket Constitutions in their shoes.

No Kings sign: 13 YEARS of CHRISTIAN SCHOOL EXPECT ME TO NOT LOVE MY NEIGHBOR ??

To all the parents who brought us up in Christian spaces…

Y’all taught us this.

John Ekdahl: Does this "No Kings" messaging make a lick of sense to anyone outside the far left? Heath Mayo: The 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, for starters.

Heath Mayo is a conservative, btw.

This isn’t about partisan politics. This is about democracy.

No thrones. No crowns. No kings.

If every time I condemn sexism, nationalism, white supremacy, and homophobia/transphobia you assume I’m condemning Christians, that tells me all I need to know about your version of Christianity.

Not a nightmare! h/t @zachwlambert.bsky.social

Can’t wait to start responding to all online my trolls with “this is Actually Romantic 😊”

Ding ding ding!

Empathy isn’t sinful or weak, it is a core value of Christianity and a foundational pillar of democracy.

That’s why authoritarians are so intent on demonizing it.

'Are There Non-Harmful Ways to Read the Bible?'

Thanks so much for sharing all of this! So glad Better Ways To Read The Bible was helpful 😊

Guns are the leading cause of death for children and teens in America.

And yet they are trying to restrict access to Tylenol, but not to guns.

@zachwlambert.bsky.social your book finally arrived! Looking forward to the read

Release the files.

In America, it's easier to get assault rifles than food stamps.

Suppose someone's child is gunned down. If one of you says to them, "Here are my thoughts and prayers," but does nothing else, what good is it?

In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

- James 2:15-17 (with a modern update)

Slavery wasn’t that bad, BUT THE CRACKER BARREL LOGO REDESIGN IS AN ATTACK ON THE VERY SOUL OF OUR NATION.

Am I doing this right?

Very privileged to receive a copy of Better Ways to Read the Bible from @zachwlambert.bsky.social Really appreciate the way he frames the discussion around the unhelpful as well as the helpful lenses to which we can appeal to guide our interpretations.
