Blog postIn the wake of Donald Trump’s visit to Springfield, there’s a huge mistake constantly recurring in the rhetoric on the right. People keep saying that the left is hypocritical because they preach tolerance yet don’t tolerate opposing viewpoints, otherwise they wouldn’t have protested Trump’s visit to Springfield. So let me clear this up: First, the … Read more The Myth of Tolerance

Blog postIt’s a mistake to equate God with absolute power. This sets up an authoritarian view of God, based on hierarchy and control. Which in turn teaches humanity that authoritarianism, hierarchy, and control are virtues instead of vices. When this is the case, God doesn’t just condone authoritarianism, hierarchy, and control, but models such things. **This … Read more God’s love qualifies God’s power, not the other way around

Blog postThere’s something deeply flawed in the way the church talks about the affirmation of LGBTQ persons — and it’s time for it to change. For as long as I’ve been preaching (and of course long before), LGBTQ brothers and sisters and siblings have always had to be on the defensive, trying to provide all of … Read more Hey church people, it isn’t sinful to be LGBTQ — but it is sinful to oppress those who are

Blog postAs I put together Preaching as Resistance, I kept running up against several recurring, unfortunate myths related to preaching and resistance. I put a list of ten together, and I’d be curious if any of you have encountered these before? And which others you’d add that I left out?

Blog postAs a Christian pastor, I’ve grown so tired of Christians constantly playing the “pro-life” card to justify their support of Trump’s inhumane policies. It’s like the “get out of jail free” card for supporting moral depravity, and it’s flawed for so many reasons: First, for context: Virtually every Christian defense of Trump ultimately devolves to … Read more Hey Christians, Trump isn’t pro-life

Blog postI was asked to speak about the immigration crisis at today’s Poor People’s Campaign action in Springfield. Here are my remarks: This past week, the Attorney General of the United States of America quoted the Bible to justify the cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants and refugees. So I have a few other passages of … Read more Families Belong Together (reflections on Trump’s inhumane immigration policies)

Blog postAmong the most pressing questions facing our country right now is whether or not the right for everyday citizens to own military-grade weaponry with high capacity magazine clips is more important than the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for America’s children. This is a pro-life issue. Throughout history, blood sacrifices in … Read more Gun violence is a pro-life issue

Blog postI’m excited to officially announce that Preaching as Resistance is now available to pre-order (it will be released Oct. 2). Here’s the description from the back cover: As nationalism, patriarchy, and alt-right fear-mongering threaten our troubled nation, the pulpit has again become a subversive space of sacred resistance.

Blog post20. It confuses “speaking the truth in love” with “I have the absolute truth and if you don’t agree with my way of thinking you’re eternally damned.” Its version of love rarely includes the practice of listening to the other. 19. It disrespects women — not as a bug in the system, but as a … Read more 20 reasons why I left the Religious Right

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 … Read more Why Gun Laws in the U.S. Should Be Changed Immediately
