Reparations, Violence, and Peacemaking: An Honest Conversation with Drew Hart — Homebrewed Christianity Drew Hart joined me to dig into questions from our God of Justice class about his lecture on the black church and American experience. We covered a lot of ground—from Drew’s own journey as a preacher’...

Great interview with @druhart.bsky.social about the Black prophetic tradition. overcast.fm/+AAAPcGLipkg

A flyer with the photos of speakers at an upcoming conference named Life Through a Jesus Lens. Speakers include Greg Jones, President of Belmon University, ethicist David Gushee, and speaker and author Drew Hart. The conference is hosted by the Rev. Charlie Curb Center for Faith Leadership at Belmont University and the Gospel and Our Culture Network. Go to Jesusworldview.org for more information

At the Life Through a Jesus Lens conference in October, speakers will help us reflect on how
do we lead (Greg Jones/ Belmont Univ. Pres), how do we do justice ( @druhart.bsky.social ), how do we look at morality (ethicist David Gushee), and how do we do congregational life though a Jesus lens?

Heading to Indianapolis. I've been honored to direct a program funded by Lilly called Thriving Together: Congregations for Racial Justice. We don't believe we are done yet, so I will be doing some dreaming and planning.

“Hart calls us to the radical way of Jesus—rebuking civil religion, Christian nationalism, and distorted Christianity that privileges the few.” —Dennis R. Edwards #MakingItPlain

🔥 "With historical acumen and theological precision, Hart holds no punches, withholds no treasure, and comes with receipts." — @lisasharper.bsky.social

Making It Plain is a book for these times. Out now everywhere books are sold.

Be careful today friends. The spiral of violence is a real thing and people groups already deemed disposable are often the ones "sacrificed" for empire's sake. Stay vigilant.

"This book makes plain where Christians have been, where we are, and where we need to go" -Dennis Edwards

#MakingItPlain is about truth-telling. We need to reckon the legacy of Christendom, Doctrine of Discovery /Antiblackness, and ongoing ecclesial harm.

It calls the church to resist Christian nationalism, white supremacy, and antiblack oppression by embodying radical discipleship to Jesus, a prophetic witness to injustice, solidarity with all oppressed people, all while participating in and seeking after God’s Beloved Community.

Anablacktivism is a theological & ethical vision that weaves together the liberating fire of Black theology with the peacemaking witness of Anabaptism.

Your job and title don't define who you are. Just a reminder. That's all.

MAKING IT PLAIN by @druhart.bsky.social

Growing up as a putative 'Christian' & spending all my adult life as one, I had been pushed to believe that my central purpose in life was to 'share the good news' which meant get people to listen to the 'Gospel' & then get them to say the 'sinners prayer'.

Tomorrow I’ll be in convo w/ Pete Enns @ Midtown Scholar @7pm about my book #MakingItPlain.

Followers of Jesus must resist the Christian nationalism & rising neofascism happening. There is a virtual option. Don’t miss it!

Yet most of the history of Western Christianity has been about power and control and domination.

This book, MAKING IT PLAIN by @druhart.bsky.social, is a corrective to the current ways of thinking and doing.

Don't read comments on random threads on Facebook. It'll horrify you and help you understand our predicament.

#LaughNowCryLater

So I ended up buying two copies of the book because...well, it's a good book, and I want to read it more than one time.

😂

But seriously, it's a great book.

This book just dropped! Thank you @druhart.bsky.social for foregrounding two important traditions that we need to seriously engage if we hope to be serious about Jesus.

MAKING IT PLAIN, by @druhart.bsky.social , not only explains this embrace but also shows the path out of that captivity into a more holistic faith that considers both the individual and the community.

So, @jarrodmckenna.bsky.social calls Making It Plain a "nonviolent messianic-cocktail". It's an urgent and necessary book for our times.
