I had the pleasure of responding to Bad Bunny’s gospel this week for @christiancentury.bsky.social
“Our resistance against oppression need not suck the vibrancy out of life. Joy and lament can exist alongside each other. Perhaps they must…“

God then remains present to those who have been uninvited at the table, abused, pushed to the margins, deported, imprisoned. The kingdom of God belongs to those who can't buy their way in. (2/3)
