@ScottEPeyton1 Doing the Lord’s work. Keep it up

My office for the next two days: the Iowa State Capitol. Scripture teaches both #justice and #mercy. Public policy should reflect that balance through proportional punishment that holds people accountable while recognizing the dignity of every person.#bowties4cjr

@edstetzer @WycliffeHall @talbottheology @prisonfellowshp Thank you @edstetzer! An honor to speak to @wycliffehall and @talbottheology students about the biblical call to care for the incarcerated 🙏

The brutal & senseless death of Robert Brooks is an affront to God-given human dignity. We're praying for Mr. Brooks' family. We call not only for those responsible to be held accountable but for systemic training, transparency & culture building in corrections.
