Perhaps not all the time, but many times, I think the Church in Canada has forgotten that the crescendo of the New Testament is that God is love.
This demands more uncertainty, more humility and more community, not less.

If you're currently unhappy & frustrated with heathcare, education, many aspects of housing and transit, here's your chance to make a change.
We the people hold the power. Don't let this snap election, that Ontario didn't want, hold you back from voting #OntarioVotes2025

No matter how you vote, left, right or centre, feels like the right time to come together in unity as Canadians.
I'm praying for peace where there is anxiety, a growing sense of unity and stability and the beauty of community.
Vive le Canada 🇨🇦🍁❤️

@MeaghanMartin_ Ah man, I'm bummed to see you post something like this, in a time like this, as a current, or previous Ontario PC employee, but also as a strong advocate in the Waterloo Region.

Feels like good discipline and practice as a Canadian citizen these days, to keep an eye on the narrative that American owned publications are pushing here in Canada.
"What a poor friend we have" might be a better a title.

Those struggling with, or leaving Christianity in Canada, cite the election of Trump & support from Evangelicals as a main reason in this Canadian research: a.co/d/fEnP7sv
I'm lameting the ripple effect for the church in Canada.
Evangelical vote? Unchanged from 2016.

@JoashPThomas My friend, I think you've arrived 😁 Now, even more people will know about your incredible work and witness! Can't wait for your book!
English
At least my book will not be riddled with libel, lies & legal lawsuit liabilities.
The only people who have sold Christ for their 30 pieces of silver are people who have fully (and unquestioningly) attached their political witness to one political party and candidate - all while publicly kissing Jesus.

Brazos Press goes fully apostate, publishing an lgbtq-affirming “pastor.” This is what it looks like to sell out Christ for the spirit of the age. Yes, these Shepherds are for sale, and those who are pretending not to understand what that title means are gaslighting you.

This little misunderstanding is what happens when Christians are always outraged but seldom curious

@thescottbarber @MattThiessenNT I've struggled with the same thing the last few years.
English
@MattThiessenNT Yup it is spreading. I didn’t put up a Canadian Flag of Canada Day because I didn’t want to be mistaken for one of these.

@JoashPThomas Sending you so many birthday blessings. Your friendship and presence have made my life better. I'm grateful for you ❤️
English
My 30th birthday was unexpectedly traumatic and lonely.
There’s a level of loneliness experienced by immigrants that only other immigrants can understand.
For my 31st birthday, some of my closest friends (most of them immigrant Canadians in ministry I met this past year; none of them on Twitter) are throwing me a birthday party tonight.
I’m going to need a ton of Kleenex tonight. 😭

@JoashPThomas Shane has offered a consistent witness and clarion call for non-violence for a decade (or more?). He calls it out on all sides. I don't get what Cosper is on about with all of this 🤷
English
Anyone out here claiming that Shane Claiborne is pro-Hamas or anti-Semitic is either very new to Shane’s work or completely bananas. 🤦🏽♂️
Shane Claiborne@ShaneClaiborne
I am so encouraged by the fearless, compassionate students all over our country who are calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, including those setting up encampments and risking arrest for nonviolent protests. As always, I stand against all forms of anti-semitism and hatred. Love is the only way forward. And thankfully love is not a limited resource. We must speak out against the violence of Hamas, as well as the violence of Israel. We will not build a better world by killing other people’s children. Hatred cannot drive out hatred. Violence cannot drive out violence. Love is the only way forward. “I've seen too much hate to hate… I have decided to stick with love… Hate is too great a burden to bear.” -MLK

@MattThiessenNT It will be fascinating to see the progress of Richards change of heart from his previous book on moral vision. I wonder if this book will cause issues for Christopher and Fuller? Thanks for finding this.
English
@JoashPThomas I'm so sorry Joash. I know it's true, but I still hate to see it happening here in Canada.
English
This is heartbreakingly true even across the Canadian evangelical church right now.
Just this past week, I backed out of a speaking engagement at a conference that disinvited a fellow speaker (a female pastor) for her stance on a secondary issue that some of the conference organizers disagreed on - despite still agreeing on the primary stuff.
We’re in big trouble when we start canceling each other over secondary issues.
Andy Stanley@AndyStanley
The greatest threat to the ekklesia of Jesus is division over secondary issues that distract from the primary issue.

@thatchrischase @MarchMadnessWBB It's been so much fun to watch. Looking forward to tonight's game!

Went to Costco and got into a conversation about the @MarchMadnessWBB tournament with someone because of my WNBA hoodie. Main thought between us - the tournament has some real ballers in it!!!

We can be Christians today in only two ways, through prayer and in doing justice among human beings. All Christian thinking, talking, and organizing must be born anew, out of that prayer and action.

For every Canadian woman who leads as a pastor, priest, planter, academic, theologian, writer, parachurch or ministry leader - thank you.
I honour you & your contributions & the cost you undoubtedly regularly pay to lead the church in Canada.

Starting today!
A vital conversation for the church in Canada & those who want to follow in the way of Jesus.
Join us for a 4-week study with @fitchest & his new book “Reckoning with Power: Why the Church Fails when it’s on the wrong side of Power"
