Look kids, you can accomplish anything. If you just find someone with power and swear fealty, debasing yourself over and over again until you’ve long forgotten whatever moral compass used to guide you.

My employer gave us the day off for election day. Which is super nice, but I had been counting on “throwing myself into work” as a coping mechanism.

It seems weird to suddenly become obsessed by a music genre while democracy hangs in the balance, but I can’t stop listening to math rock please send help

I had a great time chatting with @jon_mathieu about imagining God with "hair like wool," and what it means to be an image-bearer in the face of historical and present-day hair discrimination.

Still savoring this review of the Baldwin book. It is so satisfying to be read well and for your purpose to be understood! @orbisbooks @baylorproud christiancentury.org/books/navigati… via @ChristianCent

“I was interested in how @Greg1Garrett would present Baldwin’s own relationship to the faith. Baldwin was clear he had left the church, but there’s something religious about so many of his visions and aspirations.”

I am realizing that on several occasions when I tried to refer to basketball instant legend Caitlin Clark, I accidentally said Kaitlan Collins.
I do not think all Kaitlins are the same, and no disrespect to the GOAT—I just watch way too much CNN.

Good words, Josh. And you are probably not sweating the replies, but if you are, I think Jesus said, “If the world ratios you, be aware that it ratioed me before it ratioed you.”

The future of the Christian Tradition is LGBTQ+ affirming. Not because affirming Christians have compromised our faith, but because we are following the call of the Spirit. God has ALWAYS been affirming of Their LGBTQ+ kids. We are just catching up to what’s always been true.

@masonmennenga @AshleyG792523 The plain meaning of Luke 4:18
– good news to the poor (literal and spiritual)
– recovery of sight to the blind (literal and spiritual)
– release to captives (um, only spiritual)
– freedom to the oppressed (ditto)

i honestly think a lot of christians just don’t read the bible

@BenKester Neither my tweet, the reviews, nor the books offer advice for leaving. The books share 5 women’s individual stories. They’re memoirs, not self-help books. But yeah if that’s not for you, cool.

@jon_mathieu I'm done looking to Christians for advice on leaving Christianity. Thanks though.

Five new books about living in and leaving evangelicalism. Hope these reviews help you decide on some books to add to your reading list!

@MuskTillDawn @AmandaW0lfe I think this is just getting worse in all US cities. I’m in Chicago (but about to move back to the Burgh) and when I tell some folks in the suburbs that I live in the city, they stare at me in horror.

I have never missed something less than I miss white conservative evangelicalism.

We haven’t been using X much, but we’re still here. Still creating a space online for folks who want spiritual community that is expansive, inclusive, trauma-informed, and sort of just the opposite of evangelicalism in every way.

My hottest take is that it is possible for a white person to let go of old beliefs, become more inclusive, and leave their faith tradition … without trying to become a social media influencer

Watching the Illinois sexual harassment prevention video, and one of the behaviors they address is calling people “tootsie.”
It’s comforting to know our state is cracking down on perps from the 1930s.

I know (knew) nothing about Jane Austen, but this was a really fun chat with @RevRachelMann!

I don’t use this site much anymore, but you can find me on FB or curled up under a blanket on the recliner in my living room.
