The Cornell Question: What are we teaching our boys about women? Not just telling them but actually teaching them.

“Can you say anything good about Trump?” Why are you asking someone in pain to protect the reputation of the person causing it?

The Christianity empire prefers is one that preaches personal holiness while defending racism, saving souls while protecting systems of oppression.

Why aren't more faith leaders and churches speaking up about politics? They are. They just don't realize it.

I'm not sure we fully understand the psychological toll this moment in America is taking on the human nervous system. I suspect we will be uncovering the consequences for years to come.

A UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House may be one of the most symbolically revealing acts of the Trump era. It says more than we realize.

As the consequences of the MAGA movement set in. Many evangelical Christian’s are repeating a phrase, “I didn’t vote for this.”

“I don’t always like how he acts but God uses broken people.” The excuse evangelicals have used for two terms. Oppressors love it. Evangelicals hide in it.

What we’ve been calling strength is often just fear speaking loudly.

If calling out harm bothers you more than the harm itself…that’s not humility. That’s loyalty to power.

In a time when so much feels disorienting, it was life-giving to be in a room full of people having the crucial conversations of our time, and doing it with such lightness and joy. Thank you for inviting me Don. What you two are doing on the road is essential. I'm still buzzing.

Evangelicals support Trump because he mirrors back the very behaviors they already excuse in themselves.

Evangelical: “Kirk’s right, MLK’s awful.” Evangelical: “Trump is God’s chosen.” This isn’t just hypocrisy. This is racism.

What conservative Christians need to know is they retired their badge as the moral police of society the day they co-signed with Trump.

What is taking Gods name in vain? Terrorizing immigrants then quoting Isaiah to convince people it’s Gods mission. I’m looking at you Homeland Security.

What is taking Gods name in vain? Cutting healthcare + food to the poor then saying, “I give glory to God.” I’m looking at you speaker Johnson.

Turns out the evangelical admonition to stay on the straight + narrow was about allegience to the Republican Party not the way of Jesus.
