Cover of the book โ€œThe Justice of Jesusโ€ by Joash P. Thomas. The design features bold red title text over a textured off-white background, with a golden wheat stalk illustrated behind it. A quote from Shane Claiborne at the top reads, โ€œThe perfect combination of prophetic fire and pastoral care.โ€ The subtitle below the title says, โ€œReimagining Your Churchโ€™s Life Together to Pursue Liberation and Wholeness.โ€ The book rests on a wooden surface.

Deconstructing white theology means more than rejecting its harms, it means dismantling the colonial theology beneath it. @joashpthomas.bsky.social's *The Justice of Jesus* is a guide to reclaim the Gospel from the sin of colonialism and whiteness, and to cultivate a church rooted in justice.

โ€œNot all Christiansโ€ฆโ€

Itโ€™s a familiar refrain, and one that shows up in many conversations where people describe the profound betrayal and injury theyโ€™ve experienced in Christian communities and under Christian teaching.

Not all Christians.
Of course.
And also: Christians. ๐Ÿงต

Sometimes people ask me and @kkramermcginnis.bsky.social: what is the biggest โ€œmythโ€ of good Christian parenting?

Itโ€™s hard to pick just one.

But after reviewing over 100 resources, something that is woven together across all the myths: spanking is somehow good and godly. 1/2
