Are DAs truly presenting all the evidence? In my analysis of the Nolan Wells grand jury findings, I connect historical failures like Emmett Till's acquittal to the killing of baby Kohen Wiley and the ongoing crisis of public trust.

I'm disappointed in @christianitytoday.com’s coverage of Louisiana v. Callais on its Bulletin podcast this week. If this represents the mainstream evangelical (non-MAGA) response then gulf between them and the Black church is broader than I imagined. In sum, they it was a shoulder shrug.

Although somewhat comical that POTUS believes he can do this, this demonstrates he believes that he can dictate whatever his preferred outcome via Executive Order even if illegal. I'm almost certain CBS will comply. Trump’s authoritarian instincts are on full display with this EO.

In today’s Pentagon briefing, Pete Hegseth quoted Pslam 144, but he didn't stop there. While the fist two verses align with the scripture, he continued the language that isn't even in the text. This isn't just a misquote; it's a dangerous manipulation of faith to justify war.

Should the default position of Christians be to uncritically support the government in times of war?

Rev. Terrance D. Carroll, Esq. @speakercarroll.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

Public theology requires the theologian to hold multiple truths in tension. The war with Iran makes this more difficult. One can believe that the Iranian regime is a scourge on the international rule of law and at the same time believe our administration is acting immorally.

Rev. Terrance D. Carroll, Esq. @speakercarroll.bsky.social · 07/03/2026

The founders of this nation explicitly rejected the notion of the United States as a religious state but yet we now have some speaking of our military engagement in Iran as a holy war. Democracies do not fight religious wars.

Early church father, Augustine of Hippo, key hermeneutical principle needs to be revisited. Love of God and love of neighbor should be central to how we interpret the Bible. This interpretive principle seems to be missing from how many Christian nationalist understand the Bible.
