Blog postI’m excited to officially announce my new book, set to be released by Chalice Press later this year.

Preaching as Resistance
In the wake of the nationalism, nihilism, and alt-right fear mongering that’s accompanied the surprising rise and valorization of Donald Trump, many pastors are being drawn to acts of resistance–sometimes even from the pulpit–in ways they perhaps hadn’t considered before, at least not with the same sense of urgency they now feel. This volu -
Blog post“We need to look closely to determine just where and to what degree God-talk becomes the arrogant humanism that puts God at our disposal.” – Merold Westphal

25 Reasons Why Neo-Reformed White Bro Dude Theology Needs to Repent (listed in no particular order):
25. It disguises cruelty and bigotry as love.
24. It disrespects women — not as a bug in the system, but as a feature.
23. It disrespects LGBTQ+ persons — not as a bug in the system, but as a featu -
Blog postGun laws in the United States of America should be changed immediately:
Fact 1: Every year far more innocent people in the U.S. are unintentionally killed by an accident with a gun than are criminals killed by a “good guy with a gun.” [So the self-defense argument doesn’t work unless for some strange reason one wishes to also argue that more deaths by gun violence is preferable to fewer deaths by gun violence.]
Fact 2: Where there are higher rates of gun ownership in the U.S., -
Blog postFive years ago today, my world was turned upside down. To my great surprise, the legendary actor and civil rights hero George Takei shared a speech I gave on LGBTQ rights and the next thing I knew, I was being contacted by representatives from the Ellen Show, the Today Show, and virtually every major media outlet in the U.S. Heck, even a book agent wanted to speak with me! My fifteen minutes of fame had begun.
But now, over five million views later, I realize what -
Blog postWhat does it mean to truly love America? To be a patriot? To honor our country?
In both basic and profound forms, it must include giving one’s heart to the ideals that are evoked in the promise of America: ideals of democracy and dignity, freedom and equality, liberty and justice. It includes tirelessly striving for these ideals, with the audacity to believe that the promise of America extends not just to some of its citizens, but to all of its citizens.
Loving America include -
Blog postOver the years I’ve written a lot about symbolic gestures. These are activities or rituals we take part in that make us feel good by providing the illusion that we care about the things we say we care about, when in fact our everyday actions suggest otherwise. These are all around us all of the time. A classic example is a business that pays super low wages to its employees and denies them benefits at every turn (thus trapping them in poverty), yet publicly donates $10K to charity and frames

Blog postThe following post is adapted from the Rev. Dr. Micki Pulleyking’s reflections shared at Faith Voices of Southwest Missouri’s “Standing with Our Neighbors” event.
It is an honor to be here with others who care about moral leadership; those who desire to “act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God”, as the prophet Micah implores. Jesus proclaimed “good news to the poor” and “liberty” to the oppressed; Jesus gave “healing”–free health care. Think about it, almost -
Blog postHere are my remarks at the “Standing With Our Neighbors” Faith Voices/NAACP event on the day before President Trump came to Springfield.
—
We gather on the eve of President Trump’s visit to Springfield in order to hold President Trump and his administration in prayer, as well as to hold them accountable to the ethical demands at the heart of the world’s enduring religious traditions. Within religious practice, prayer opens us up to the heart of the sacred, and is intended -
Blog postHere’s the text from the Call to Action I was asked to give at today’s “Standing with Our Neighbor: Charlottesville” event sponsored by Faith Voices of SW MO.
—
As people of faith we are called to put our beliefs into action, to practice what we preach. And in the face of the violence perpetrated by white supremacists, white nationalists, white nativists and neo-nazis, we must act.
And our actions must extend beyond mere condemnations. We must work toward building -
Blog postOne last post on the topic of the Religious Right, just to set the record straight. When I post something that calls out the Religious Right for championing racism, patriarchy, and anti-LGBTQ equality (as I did on Facebook earlier today), it’s not uncommon for someone to come along and say that I’m being intolerant of others (and thus hypocritical since I’m supposed to represent a religion that “accepts all views”). It’s their “gotcha” move. But I just want to go on the record to clarify how
