“If we have anything remotely resembling a creed, it is the Baptist oral tradition that insists, ‘Ain’t nobody but Jesus gonna tell me what to believe.’” — James Dunn

There is something distinctly disturbing about this. Talking of outbreeding other people who one hopes go “extinct.” Deeply anti-human.

The math behind this is actually really fascinating, and it explains why the Left has to rely so much on institutional capture and mass migration to remain alive. The children of Liberals adopt their worldview 89% of the time, while Conservatives see their kids adopt theirs 81% of the time. But this advantage on the Left is dwarfed by the fact that they’re essentially an anti-catalyst movement. We know that women have kids at a higher rate than men across the board, but Conservative men have kids at a higher rate than even Liberal women. This means that ~59% of Conservatives become parents, while just ~31% of Liberals do. That’s almost a 2X fertility advantage. And when you multiply those numbers by the ideological detainment rate on both sides, you see that: 59% x .81 = 47.8 31% x .89 = 27.6 So that rounds to a minimum of 48 Conservative-aligned children per 100 Conservative adults, compared to a minimum of just 28 Liberal-aligned children per 100 Liberal adults. Conservatives are reproducing their worldview at ~70% higher rate per adult than liberals. And this is a minimum estimate because all our math here assumes that both the Conservable and Liberal families had only one kid, but we know Conservatives on average have much larger families. The Left can’t compete with this organically, so they have to essentially steal the children of Conservatives through the education and media system (which they’ve all ideologically hijacked) and import new voters who will make up for their own collapsing birthrates. If you ended all immigration and dismantled their dominance over education, the Left would be extinct in 20 years.

@thedglove Oh, they’re saying it about themselves too, and taking ever rightward movement. Bonkers.

"Servant leadership" is just a buzzword until you're the one breaking a sweat carrying boxes for event setup, staying late to fold chairs after the event, or doing the next-day post-event data entry. Leadership is 10% vision or platform and 90% service and administrative work.

If the world feels very heavy right now, you're not alone and you're not wrong. That feeling you have to want to solve it all, to take away the pain and hurt: that just makes you human. Take deep breaths. Pray. Find time to rest. Find and build community. We're in this together.

I do the work I do now so that every LGBTQ can honestly and authentically seek after God in places where their gifts will be respected and their life of faith lovingly discipled. 4/4

It took five years before I was ready to join as member, but this is where my adult faith has been formed, my ministry calling has come into focus, where I was married last October. 3/4

Fourteen years ago today, I attended my first worship service at my now-home church in Charlotte. I'd made a New Year resolution to get back into church, after years of intermittent church shopping. St. John's had been waiting for me the entire time. 1/4

Armed officers of a pseudomilitary government agency specifically trained to turn against and target the people living and working under its jurisdiction is never a good idea, is a sign of democratic backsliding, and will always inevitably lead to fatal consequences. Abolish ICE.

Moving to Charlotte in 2007, I was just a blogger-turned-rookie journalist with a laptop. I didn’t know that this city would become the place where I’d find my voice, my calling, my husband, and a life rich with meaning and purpose. The Queen City isn't perfect, but it is home.

The world has enough bad news, worming its way into our feeds with messages that belittle and demean or frighten and intimidate. We can choose to be the difference, even if in small ways: be the safe, affirming, joy-enhancing presence someone needs in their day today. 2/2

I saw a TikTok post this morning of a 20-something trans creator explaining the emotional and spiritual toll the world has taken recently. There's nothing scarier than seeing the light and joy in someone else's eyes start to dim. 1/2

How we respond — what kind of bricks we’ll mold for the building of this city — is entirely up to us. Will we build cities of power and conquest? Cities of indifference? Or cities of care, compassion, and community?

Epiphany is a season of revelation and manifestation. While God alone is the builder, God call us into active involvement and participation in God’s mission on earth.

It’s disappointing they’re being described simply as “a Baptist church” when they’re just the same old silly Westboro-wannabe people with those big “God Hates ________” signs who show up to any public event, small or large, across the South.
Bill Madden@maddenifico

The fact that a Baptist church in Georgia is protesting the monks who are walking for peace tells us everything we need to know about the scam and grift that is Republican Christianity in America. 😳👇

From Elevation's new university partner, their community covenant banning LGBTQ students. I continue to be saddened that Elevation's marketing (intentionally?) fools LGBTQ people into thinking the church is friendly, welcoming, or affirming.
