Today, I got accused of being secretly funded by a shadowy liberal deep state to move to Alabama and sow division.

I’m not and have never been a Baptist, but I’ve always been fascinated with this period of their history known as “The Conservative Resurgence” or “The Fundamentalist Takeover” depending on who you ask: religionnews.com/2026/05/06/h...

How the devil was disguised in the SBC and Paul Pressler's Conservative Resurgence

(RNS) — During the Conservative Resurgence, I thought we were fighting for the Bible. Instead, we were also political pawns for an abuser.

If you want people to accept your insistence that you are actually committed to a society of colorblind meritocracy then stop stocking positions of power with meritless white dudes. In other words, don't try to MLK me with one hand while you RFK me with the other.

Everything is upside down: I see the adults of my youth who once warned me about the dangers of moral relativism now embracing moral relativism under the banner of might makes right.

Hear me out: You don’t have to be goaded into pitting prayer against action or action against prayer. But prayer without works of justice, mercy, and faithful love is empty.

Mostly Southern Baptists and Christian Nationalists of various stripes. They’d much prefer to operate in a theological landscape in which they can pretend Hauerwas doesn’t exist.

Our little 1.5yr old church launched 2 services today. I was pretty pessimistic: Folks are still on break, college students aren’t back, people are out of town. We had record attendance (for a normal Sunday - not Easter/Christmas). I don’t know what’s happening anymore. But maybe that’s okay.

Dr. Richard Hays died yesterday, he was one of the most prolific New Testament scholars of the age. I relish in the knowledge that what he once proclaimed as a great mystery is now plain sight for him. I am praying for those who loved him most. Rest well, and rise in glory.
