One-sentence summary of the chapter I'm presenting tomorrow: The thing about preaching is that you have to hear and receive the Good News first for yourself, and interpret Scripture in an active conversation with God, otherwise you're just writing a speech about the Bible.

Driving people to #suicide is sin; the context is high-ups' dereliction of duty. "...family members...said multiple sailors aboard the Lincoln had attempted to go overboard during the deployment, which has been indefinitely extended as the carrier supports U.S. military operations...against Iran."

A white Christian leader killed his wife & 6 kids. Why is no one asking: -Is this an honor killing? -What is it about white culture that creates this violence? -Where was he radicalized? Imagine he was Black, Muslim, or an immigrant. This is how media enables white supremacy & fascism. Reject it.
