The same people who taught me that β€œall that is required for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing” are now doing nothing.

If you would have told me a few years ago that my first book would be ranked as the number 1 bestseller in the Liberation Theology category on Amazon Canada, I would have laughed at your face.

Yet, here we are today!

@sarahbessey.bsky.social’s pastoral and challenging style of writing is one that has profoundly shaped me as a writer and first time author.

I’m grateful for her endorsement but even more grateful for her friendship and guidance in my journey.

When we stand with western empires against our neighbours in Gaza, we stand against God.

If you insist. Your view is steeped in whiteness though.

I’m likely VERY different from the Jesus followers you know because of my lived experience. 😊

In Jesus’ economy, β€œour” = β€œtheir”.

You cannot pray, β€œGive us this day our daily bread” and then vote for politicians who fund a genocidal regime that starves thousands of children to death in Gaza.

Writing this in July 2025 is just pure genocide denial. We can all see it with our eyes.

It’s sad how the same folks who taught us to sing, β€œJesus loves the little children of the world” now choose silence when thousands of little children in Gaza are bombed and starved to death.

They are precious in Jesus’ sight too.

I’d rather not speak ill of our poor & oppressed neighbours (especially spiritual abuse survivors) than speak ill of the abusive & powerful dead.

John MacArthur was an abusive wolf in sheep’s clothing who did way more harm than good in his life and ministry.

At my ADHD diagnosis assessment today:

Psychiatrist: Congratulations! You checked 18 of the boxes; you just needed 5 to be diagnosed with ADHD.

Me: How many boxes are there?

Psychiatrist: 18!
