Tried to keep 6 busy at the hardware store by challenging her to find an extension cord: "Is this an extension cord?" "No, that's a drill bit" "Is this an extension cord?" "No, that's a generator" "Is this an extension cord? "No, I actually don't know what that is" "Is this an extension cord..."

There's a lot of temptation for the clergy among us to try to carefully articulate why our traditions oppose the death penalty for Biblical and theological reasons. Which is fine, I guess. But it's far more salient to flat-out say "if you WANT to watch an execution, your soul is in danger."

ICE cannot do what it’s doing without local law enforcement. They need their manpower and infrastructure. That means if you want to stop ICE you are going to have to confront police collaboration and police power. I’m sorry but progressive hopes of avoiding this conflict are a recipe for failure.

Lol. I'll never forget a colleague reaching out to have coffee with me because he felt called to plant a non-demon church in a tiny exurb of Chicago with no less than 7 (seven) protestant churches. And two Catholic churches. Neve heard from him again.

There is no “center” in American politics. The poles aren’t fixed. There’s only moving right or left. It would help if people understood that.

I find this to be nearly universal in people in power with otherwise good politics. You cannot meet this moment if you don’t, at the very least, understand that it is naive to believe the cops are going to de-escalate or protect protesters. It’s really soured me on Pritzker, for one.

What really gets me is that this has happened literally every time a governor or mayor has brought out local law enforcement at a protest where the feds are brutalizing demonstrators. There are dozens of examples from multiple cities in less than a year.

This is so fascinating to me because we’ve been shouting for decades about the cherry picking that leads to anti-lgbtq readings of Scripture, but right wingers have been so successful at it that they’re now employing the strategy to make *checks notes* “going to seminary,” a sin.

We like to say, "Can you imagine if we had Paul Vallas?" And, 100%, we should be glad he isn't the mayor of Chicago right now. On the flip side, can you imagine if we hadn't harassed Kim Foxx out of office? Instead we're left with O'Neill Burke and she is absolutely failing to meet the moment.

Honestly, just imagining and trusting that the church could grow and flourish opened the door for the Holy Spirit to do some pretty amazing things in our churches (spoiler alert: they're all growing and flourishing)

I'll never forget telling a new colleague about our co-op model and how the goal was for each church to sustainably have a 3/4 pastor and survive. He gently told me how boring that was and said, "what if we grew and flourished?" That invitation to imagination was like scales falling from my eyes.

I had a baby in 2020 and, when we were able to interact with other people again, I remember breaking down in tears with how kindly people treated us. I tell my kids that it's pretty special that they bring joy to the world just by existing.

some things about becoming a parent are radicalizing in ways I expected - e.g being reminded viscerally how screwed we'd all be if childcare and other care work disappeared. but other things are radicalizing in ways I didn't - like experiencing constant spontaneous solidarity in ways big and small

My youngest dislocated her elbow and then apparently relocated it by excitedly throwing her arms in the air when she saw the ambulance at the ER. 100s of dollars to be told she was fine and to give her some tylenol. (I don't blame the docs/nurses)
