Started my day off with @PremierRadio - UK + Europe’s largest Christian radio station! Closing my day with a major Australian podcast. Deeply grateful for the wide international audience my book, The Justice of Jesus is still reaching - 11 months after book launch! 🙏🏽

If you don’t condemn Trump’s golden statue as idolatry, don’t be calling yoga demonic. You have *zero* moral authority. Sincerely, An Indian Christian Priest in the West

My book, The Justice of Jesus, has been out for over 6 months now and it is somehow still the #1 Bestseller in Liberation Theology on Amazon Canada. Truly astounded, friends! Thank you. 🙏🏽 Get your copy here: linktr.ee/joashpthomas

So proud of the Christians marching for justice across the American Empire today. If you get pushback from your family or friends for your witness for justice being ‘unbiblical’, gift them a copy of my book and tell them to read it and get back to you.

Great turnout at my ‘Jesus, Justice & Empire’ talk hosted by King’s University in Edmonton last night. We had 100+ local church leaders, students, faculty & practitioners. So inspired by these Jesus-centered folks quietly and faithfully resisting Empire in the heart of Alberta.

Ended up taking on the Canadian Empire in my first sermon as a Priest today.

An honour to so visibly represent Christ and his Church everywhere I go. My journey into the priesthood has been one of lovingly offering critique to the ways in which the Church has failed to love God by loving neighbour. Pray for me (also a sinner) to steward this privilege well.

Officially ordained as a Priest. 🙏🏽🙌🏽

The Gospel Coalition’s Review of Jesus’ interaction with The Rich Young Ruler: “The Rich Young Ruler leaves Jesus as disinterested in Christianity as he was at the start. What he sees from Jesus is not compelling. It’s woke, corrupted, audience-pleasing justice Christianity, not true Christianity.”

My debut book (The Justice of Jesus) has been out for almost 3 months now and it’s still the #1 Bestseller in Liberation Theology on Amazon Canada. To say that I’m grateful is an understatement. Thank you, fellow Canadians! 🙏🏽

We’re over a week out from when my book (The Justice of Jesus) launched into the world and we’re still somehow charting on these Amazon Canada bestseller categories. 😳 Thank you for your solidarity, Canadian friends! 🇨🇦

Fr. Joash P. Thomas @joashpthomas.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

A quick thank you + ask. If you’ve read the book and haven’t left a review yet, would you please take a couple of minutes to do this on Goodreads / Amazon / Bookshop / all the places? It helps others find the book and be blessed by it too!

Fr. Joash P. Thomas @joashpthomas.bsky.social · 02/10/2025

Met a Canadian Pastor in a Zoom meeting who said, “Someone from my church just quoted your book this Sunday. We’re doing a book club to study it together.” Words that were once deep in my heart are now taking a life of their own. Deeply humbling and slightly terrifying!

0101

Fr. Joash P. Thomas @joashpthomas.bsky.social · 02/10/2025

Wow! Truly humbled and honoured by this. If you’ve already ordered a copy for yourself, consider ordering more as gifts for loved ones, church friends, and / or your small group.

This Goodreads review of my book really warmed my heart. This is exactly what I was hoping for through The Justice of Jesus!

Fr. Joash P. Thomas @joashpthomas.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

Just going to leave this here for today. The Patron Saint for Western Christianity *is* Empire. None of this is new for our neighbours on the margins. So let’s learn from their perspectives on this historical moment.

I’m looking to build a small, exclusive community of folks who will read the book early and help get the word out by writing early reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, social media, etc. Will you join me? I’d be so grateful! Sign up today as spots are limited: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Conservative evangelical church vs. Progressive exvangelical church (with slightly better theology). Deconstruction without decolonization is pointless because it does nothing for our marginalized neighbours. The way forward is ancient.

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!

Fr. Joash P. Thomas @joashpthomas.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

@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.

Here’s my highlight of the day. How was your day?

2140

Fr. Joash P. Thomas @joashpthomas.bsky.social · 19/07/2025

It’s sad how the same folks who taught us to sing, “Jesus 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.
