Malcolm @Gladwell came on the show to tell me what a bizarre church-based murder case in Alabama taught him about the death penalty and about forgiveness. You can watch our conversation here: youtu.be/a3NWFbLdiRk?si…

Rhetoric calling for war crimes is a moral horror, under any circumstances. Using the Bible to try to justify targeting civilian populations makes it even worse. It comes from, and leads to, hell. Link below

That one can excuse or ignore this while claiming to be “pro-life” is a sign of a seared conscience. God have mercy on us all.

Over at @notusperspect, several of us gave our answer to the question: where should Washington look for moral authority. We did not all agree. Link below.

He was a great Christian leader and a kind Christian man. Of all of his (many) accomplishments, I was always struck most of all by how much his children, amazing Christian leaders themselves, loved and respected him. That is a legacy beyond measure.

Grieving the death of my friend, hero, and fellow Mississippian John Perkins. He stood up to Jim Crow and stood up for Jesus Christ. Enter into the joy of rest brother. I am grateful for you.

Grateful for you sister. Onward!

The Epstein files reveal many things- but one is that dark and cynical people have an interest in keeping us divided and distracted while they prey on the innocent and plunder the vulnerable. Link below

Inward familiarity with Scripture “happens only when people sit still long enough to read, to reflect, to internalize,” writes @drmoore. “Without that, Christianity devolves into a tribal chanting of slogans, the very thing the gospel came to disrupt.” christianitytoday.com/2026/01/the-ch…

Trump, once again, posted something despicable on social media. But he'll be a former president one day. And he's going to go down as the most disgraceful one in American history because of stuff like this. The list is long. It won't be deniable. It won't be forgotten. Because we won't let it. It makes me really sad that this is part of *our* history now. But that's why it's ever important to stand up to it, to condemn it, and to make it known it's OUTSIDE the norm. He is the outlier. This isn't what we want our country to be. Thanks for listening.

Racist. Deranged. Humiliating to our country. The fact that we have decided to pretend to this is normal every day is a moral abomination. Have we any shame? And every day an entire generation is being told it is “Christian” to support this. God have mercy on us.

Having the guy who runs an infamous torture detention facility where we unlawfully shipped immigrants speak at the National PRAYER breakfast is truly the encapsulating image of 2026

Ask not (only) what’s happening to your country. Ask what’s happening to *you*. On ICE, Minneapolis, and the temptation to look away—my new essay at @CTmagazine:

I am sad to hear this. Dr. Stein was my professor and then my colleague- a brilliant and wise man. His doctoral seminar on the gospel of Mark was truly life-changing for me.

Christians, Let’s Stop Abusing Romans 13 christianitytoday.com/2026/01/christ…

After the killing of Renee Good, some Christians summon the biblical chapter Romans 13 to dismiss moral questions about state violence. That’s the opposite of what it teaches. Link below
