Pete Hegseth recently announced a decision on the Medals of Honor for Wounded Knee, stating that the soldiers "deserve those medals" and "their place in our Nation's history is no longer up for debate". I invite you to listen as I discuss the "Shock and Denial" behind this decision.

Recently, over My Second Cup of Coffee, I discussed the "Shock and Denial" that is behind our Nation's inability to rescind its Medals of Honor for the Massacre at Wounded Knee.

Why is our nation "unable" to face its own history? I invite you to watch. buff.ly/8p9JZqE

On this episode of my podcast, I discuss the "Shock and Denial" that is behind our Nation's inability (from both sides of the aisle) to rescind its Medals of Honor for the Massacre at Wounded Knee. Why is our nation "unable" to face its own history? I invite you to listen. buff.ly/FHdBMsY

Over My Second Cup of Coffee I discuss the "Shock & Denial" behind our Nation's inability to rescind it's Medals of Honor for the Massacre at Wounded Knee. Why is our nation "unable" to face its own history? It's a symptom of a much deeper wound. I invite you to join.

The Massacre at Wounded Knee and 18 Medals of Dishonor On Friday December 29, 2017 I came across a news article regarding Oskar Groening. Oskar was an accountant who served in the SS in Nazi Germ...

In light of our nation's recent decision to not rescind the medals of honor for the soldiers at Wounded Knee, I wanted to share a blogpost I wrote on the topic awhile back. I also will be discussing Wounded Knee on the next episode of My Second Cup of Coffee,

Yá'át'ééh abíní. Went for a run this AM, no phone, no camera, no pictures. Just my barefoot shoes. Stopped mid-run to greet the sunrise with my prayers. It was gorgeous. In a chaotic world intent on making us reactive, it’s important to start the day in stillness. Walk in beauty my relatives.

Earlier this year, I was a panelist on a webinar hosted by Churches for Middle East Peace. Along with Dr. Willie James Jennings and Dr. Ben Norquist, we had a great discussion of the theology of land and the imagination of place. If you missed it, I invite you to check it out!

“You cannot discover lands already inhabited. That process is known as stealing, conquering, or colonizing. The fact that America calls what Columbus did ‘discovery’ reveals the implicit racial bias of the country—that Native Americans are not fully human.”

Another great conversation from the archives is this interview with authors Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos. They wrote the book "Loving Disagreement: Fighting for Community through the Fruit of the Spirit". Still a very relevant topic for today and I invite you to watch!
