Friends, now is the time to speak up and speak out. This is absolutely disgusting. If Trump and his fans don’t want to be compared to Nazis, then don’t cozy up to them and their symbols. If they don’t want to be labeled as racist, don’t embrace symbols of racism (for starters). 1/2

*Trump says/does something awful and gets called out for it*
CNs: We’re electing a President not a Pastor!
The hypocrisy will give you whiplash.
We must reject Christian Nationalism.
God help us.

08.11.2025 01:49 — 👍 51 🔁 7 💬 0 📌 0Here’s an important reminder: Christian Nationalism may talk a lot about Jesus, but it is completely void of Christlikeness. Rejecting Christian Nationalism isn’t rejecting Jesus. Rejecting Christian Nationalism is what following Jesus looks like.

Don’t be surprised if, since Trump’s agenda was soundly rejected today in these elections, he begins a full court press toward authoritarianism, starting with the 2026 Midterms. We have to be resolute and courageous if that happens. The emperor is naked, and we must say so.

04.11.2025 20:13 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0When the history books are written all of the people who have propped up Donald Trump’s fragile, fragile ego at the expense of truth, justice, and the well-being of millions will not be remembered fondly.
24.07.2025 15:12 — 👍 6 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The Trump Administration is moral??? Only on Opposite Day. The moral responsibility incumbent upon pastors in this moment is not to baptize this government’s immorality, but to stand up, speak out, and resist (just like Jesus taught us). #trump #christianity #progressivechristianity
22.07.2025 20:15 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Everyone cherry-picks the Bible. What is revealing about someone’s theology is not “if” they cherry-pick, but what they cherry-pick and why.

We should make a new rule: Every time America drops a bomb on another country we take the same amount of money the action cost to carry out and invest it in healthcare, education, and other life giving programs.
22.06.2025 14:22 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0“End Times” theology is and has always been a self-fulfilling prophecy. It’s not orchestrated, planned, or designed by God. It’s the product of empire.

To my LGBTQ+ siblings as we begin Pride Month🌈:
You are holy. You belong. You wonderfully bear God’s image. You are beloved, affirmed, and celebrated this month and always!
Happy Pride🏳️🌈!
Paul’s words in Galatians 3, that in Christ all the hierarchies we’ve constructed meet their end, is likely an early baptismal creed. If so, the earliest creed wasn’t about believing the right things, but about announcing inclusion + belonging. We should get back to that.

A Holy Week reminder: If your understanding or interpretation of the final week and death of Jesus requires antisemitism, then you’ve deeply misunderstood the story.
