I went back to find this post, because it was several years ago that I first experienced the supposed "new" evangelicals, and it was not a good experience. I am disheartened they stayed on the same path and caused more harm.

If you think the way the most powerful men treat their partners and families isn’t important, you’ve already fallen for their manipulation. The violence at home is part and parcel of their abuse of power

Composure, Saints! This is a vital witness to our faith in Christ in any era of chaos. Upon waking, let us meet with Jesus and trade our fear & anger for his courage & compassion. Rely on God. Read Scripture. Be brave. Pray valiantly. Act like grownups. Help the hurting. Love defiantly.

The lack of critical thinking in evangelical Christianity is increasingly startling. There are large pockets of people who have fused to a specific, cynical (nihilistic?) narrative and interpret everything through that lens. Lord, have mercy.

I am thankful for Mark. Even if his 90-minute first draft isn't perfect, we need someone to be facilitating the conversation to reform healthcare. And elected officials don't do it since they get healthcare for life and don't care to reform something that doesn't impact them. Keep talking, Mark!

A must read story that offers a terrifying window into the world of contemporary far right and pro-MAGA paramilitaries. The friendly ties between these aspiring terrorists and law enforcement is especially concerning. Not surprising to folks familiar with the history of the far right, but still bad.
