The last stop on my mini-sabbatical: The Festival of Homiletics in Atlanta. A great chance to be renewed and learn from others preachers from a wide variety of backgrounds. If you happen to be here, make sure to say hi! #foh2025

Yesterday, everyone called him Robert. Today, everyone calls him Leo. One day they called him Abram, the next Abraham. One day Simon, the next Peter. One day Jacob, the next Israel. CHOSEN NAMES ARE THAT EASY.

Newly elected Pope Leo XIV granted an indulgence to everyone listening to his speech after the election. The important question is, what sin are you going to use your indulgence for?

Started my sabbatical today on the West Bank of the Mississippi in South Louisiana; with a sobering visit to the Whitney Plantation. Learning about race, history, and faith over the next few weeks.

People either loved this Good Friday sermon or hated it. Little bit of James Cone, little bit of local history, whole lot of challenge of the ways we conspire with empire (CW descriptions of racial violence) youtu.be/B_Ju4x6lvOI?...

Good Friday 2025

David Hansen @revdavid.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Until we can see the cross & the lynching tree together, until we can identify Christ with a 'recrucified' black body hanging from a lynching tree, there can be no genuine understanding of Christian identity in US, & no deliverance from the brutal legacy of slavery & white supremacy James Cone

On Good Friday Every innocent person convicted and incarcerated stands as an accusation. Every innocent person executed stands as a condemnation. We have crucified our Lord.

This is the perfect confluence of my interests. In the future, whenever someone asks me to tell them about myself I’m just going to show them this.

Screenshot of a tweet that reads:

“My brother was telling a story that began with him describing how he has a placard that displays a rotating scripture verse that he swaps out each week.
Without missing a beat I replied, "Ah yes, a classic John/Luke Placard. Go on."
AND HE DIDNT EVEN LAUGH AND IT WAS THE FUNNIEST COMEBACK OF MY LIFE I AM DEVASTATED BEYOND WORDS.”

Talked with my (mostly white, suburban) congregation yesterday about the power of riot. About Palm Sunday (and the cleansing of the Temple) as a Holy Riot. About how God calls us to act boldly for justice for the most vulnerable. youtu.be/ryGRikWG3SU

Pastoral care is really some of the best stuff of ministry. Being invited into the holiness of sharing people’s lives. Joys. Sorrows. Praying together. All of it. Just amazing that we get to do this.

My easter season preaching this year is shaped by MLK's Letter From Birmingham Jail. Every day of breaking news re-enforces this decision for me.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Hey Look! The stock market is doing a thing! In my adult life, we have experienced two "once in a lifetime" recessions. I came of age during the Savings & Loan Crisis. I've NEVER thought the stock market is dependable.

It's spring break this week. Which means the office is a little slow. Which is GREAT for getting things done. But also. It's a little slower. And ... Dear friends ... I scrolled. I scrolled for doom. And there is a LOT of doom to be found in the scroll.
