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.

What else is there to say about this tomfoolery cloaked in the garb of Christianity? What happened to you shall have no other god before me? What about worshipping God in spirit and in the truth? Where is Jesus?

The SAVE Act isn't about election security but securing partisan advantage.

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.

On this week’s episode of Faithful Witness with Terrance Carroll, we dive into the deeply personal journey of identity and belief—from a childhood fascination with biblical archaeology to the realities of being a "disappointed" Zionist. Watch or listen to the full episode now.

My great-grandfather never had the chance to vote. Jim Crow wasn’t just history—it was a family legacy of denied democracy.

There are times I wish I hadn’t looked at social media. Erica Kirk’s recent claims at TPUSA about "marginalized" young white men are not just factually unsupported—they're an insult to those who have faced true systemic disenfranchisement.

Rev. Terrance D. Carroll, Esq. @speakercarroll.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

America is facing more than just a civil crisis - it’s a theological one. We’ve lost the art of grace and mercy in our conversations. On the latest #faithfulwitness podcast, we’re diving into the “inconvenient truths” and making space for deep, nuanced conversation.

Treating people like God loves them shouldn't be a radical act—but in today’s world, it is. 🌍 Your treatment of others is the ultimate witness of your faith. Let’s do better. 🎧 Check out the full episode on the Faithful Witness podcast! #Unity #Podcast #FaithfulWitness

What is public theology? Faith, Democracy, and the Public Square

Rev. Terrance D. Carroll, Esq. @speakercarroll.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

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.

Can war ever be just? Just War Theory has shaped Christian thinking about war for centuries. In this short, I explain the core principles and why they matter in today’s conflicts. The complete episode is available on the Faithful Witness with Terrance Carroll podcast.

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

120

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.

In this latest episode of the Faithful Witness with Terrance Carroll podcast, Amy Spicer joins us to discuss the SAVE America Act and th MEGA Act. These bills claim to increase election security but they actually narrow access for those who need it the most.

On my podcast I’ve been talking a lot about the separation of church and state. This is why!

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

As Christians, we must reflect deeply on the reasons behind going to war. Are we acting out of genuine concern for justice, or are we driven by ego and national pride? Watch the full episode on the Faithful Witness with Terrance Carroll podcast on Youtube, Spotify, and Apple.

This is well beyond a dog whistle! If you’re still excusing his behavior you’re more than enabler, you’re a participant in his racism.

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.

030

Rev. Terrance D. Carroll, Esq. @speakercarroll.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

It is clear that one aspect of Christian nationalism is an attack on Blackness. Rather directly as in the attached post or through Black folks who’ve decided that norm for Christian identity is whiteness.

Today, we honor and remember the souls lost on September 11, 2001. I intentionally chose this photo as a reminder of the brief moment when our nation stood united, regardless of our differences. An all too short moment! I pray for an enduring revival of that time when we were all Americans.

If you’re reading this and you’re tempted to believe the now en vogue counter narrative about America chattel slavery, I suggest you pick up a copy of this book or any other slave narrative to read the firsthand accounts about the cruelty and evil of American chattel slavery.

60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act bent the arc of history toward justice. It was a sacred victory won through blood, prayer, and persistence. Today, that legacy is under threat. But as people of faith, we know: Protecting the vote is a moral calling. #VotingRightsAct60 #FaithfulWitness

This woman claims to be a Jesus loving, Bible reading, cross wearing Christian yet she condemns empathy as a sin and embraces cruelty as a virtue.

Rev. Terrance D. Carroll, Esq. @speakercarroll.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

I saw this yesterday but I didn’t want to distract from Christ’s day. The president’s comments represent an understanding of Christianity that is antithetical to the message of Christ. They reflect the mindset of someone who is cosplaying being a Christian.

On this date, we remember the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on the 57th anniversary of his assassination. We often gloss over why Dr. King was in Memphis on that fateful day. He was there to support Black sanitation workers in their struggle to have their basic human dignity recognized.

Today, I honor and remember my mother on what would have been her 108th birthday! She meant and still means so much to me. Not a day goes by when I don't think about her. She had a wicked sense of humor, but all knew never to cross her. Continue to rest well, Corine! With all my love, Terry.
