Julius C. Trimble

There is a lot of talk about “Christian Nationalism.” In my opinion, the term itself is a contradiction and an oxymoron. Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior of my life. I do not need my neighbors to agree on religion but to agree on fair treatment and respect for all.

Telling the truth is the first qualification for true servant leaders.

Democracy is worth saving, I refuse to be goaded or bullied into fear or panic by leaders who have no vision of a country that celebrates the diversity of its own citizens. I'll vote with climate care, health care, care for our children, and access to affordable housing in mind.

I received a card signed by people who had prayed for me on May 26th. I am praying for you right this moment

The Gospel is good news, and good news cultivates joy! Don’t try to steal my joy!

‘If you have to be right all the time, it's hard to have joy” I heard Pastor Rob Fuquay say this on Palm Sunday

Kindness should not be an option but an obligation.

Saddle up folks. We have to fight to protect our democracy!

It has been my honor to serve the Indiana United Methodists as their Bishop since 2016. Thank you all!

Be encouraged!

Allow me to pass a message to you: Isiah 41:10, John 16:33 - Trimble Translation: “God says, I got you. Jesus says I have taken care of the hardest part. Now live with hope don’t forfeit your joy!

People who are concerned about the future of our children and future generations should pray, organize, vote, and denounce hatred and meanness daily.

Wake up with this question: Dear God, what is your assignment for me today?

If poetry is important to you, please let me know….God be with you!

We have two choices: complain or commit. I am committed to making the world a better place.

Jesus is the reason for the season but not often enough, the motivation for our actions and decisions.

Peace and Justice are not playthings.

Turn off the car radio and pay attention to the music of the fall colors and blowing wind. To God be the Glory!

Pray this prayer and trust God! “Lord make me an instrument of your peace and love”
