I’m publishing love letters every week. And with a demanding full time job and a 4 year old, every “Publish” feels like a miracle. Anyone else feel like this?

Each “yes” towards the world we imagine for our great, great, great, great, granddaughters is one that carries a spark of hope within it, a foundation offered towards that which is to follow.

I'm building a column called Honey for the Apocalypse: love letters for the questions you've been carrying so long they feel like furniture. For the queer kid still reaching toward something holy. For everyone told who they are and what they believe couldn't coexist.

Lately, in multiple places, I find myself leaving in my typos or misspellings a little bit more than I used to, just to demonstratet hat I am a REAL LIVE PERSON and NOT AI. Feels complex, and probably not all that effective as that twisted entity evolves, but.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Today I'm thinking about Pentecost and Politics. The flames of spirit offering us words for our core beliefs in Christianity: Love your neighbor. Prioritize the poor. Feed the hungry. Free the prisoner. May we use our words in alignment with our faith.

I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Christianity is about following the Way as led by community organizer, Jesus. His Way is about prioritizing the needs of the poor, those on the edges, and those who need compassion. As you do to the Least, he preaches- you do to Me.

Just came back from a week at Project Proclaim’s preaching camp held at Silver Lake Camp & Retreat Center in Connecticut. It was an incredibly deep and timely gathering for proclaimers of all stripes for the progressive church under American authoritarianism.

This Holy Week, many in America feel the story anew: Spies among us. Money as religion. A plea to prioritize the poor and love our neighbors, & welcome anyone to the table. Betrayal from those near. A mock trial & ongoing humiliation from those with authority. State sanctioned public murder.

Christians, if you don't know where to start, here's some words: YOU are welcome here. As I Christian, I know we were made in the image of God. ALL of us. or: Jesus begs us to feed the hungry, level the playing field, share the resources, free the prisoner. What would it be like if ...we did that?

You think our churches are dying?! NO. They are transforming. NOW is the time, beloveds. Gather your shards of hope, gather the message you've carried this far for your children and children's children, and PROCLAIM the Gospel.

I am having more and more conversations that give me hope that folks are starting to wake up. With a nurse who is spending her lunch breaks explaining The Horrors to co-workers. With a stranger in the Costco parking lot who was vocally grateful for my bumper sticker. A shift is happening.

It’s hard to stay put, to rest. Then I get to thinking. Then I get to over thinking. Then I get to circular thinking. Distorting these patterns is hard hard doing … and.. I know, necessary for the ongoing resilience.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Sunday is a pause point. I’ll go to the service, find comfort in the rituals, check in on those who are church community and also scared, and sing the hymns. All that feels important. In each reading, hymn, or prayer: What message of Faith from those who have come before is echoed for us now?

we will keep track of all the changes, fight in every way we can, and deepen into our visions. but find your grief practice. so many people are going to suffer and die in so many unnecessary ways in the short term because of the decisions and moves being made. learn to feel your grief as we go.
