A judge just got arrested for not helping ICE do their job. That’s not justice, it’s intimidation. When compassion becomes a crime, democracy’s on life support. If this is the warm-up act, imagine the main show under Trump 2.0. This is a warning shot. Pay attention.

Maundy Thursday wasn’t a tender foot-washing moment, it was a radical act of defiance. #progressivechristian #holyweek #empire #jesus #footwashing

The events of Holy Week weren't martyrdom by mistake. They were a mic drop in motion. #progressivechristian #HolyWeek2025 #empire #jesus

MAGA Christians have turned fear into a brand, fascism into a campaign strategy, and Jesus into a mascot they drag to every political rally. As I say in this week’s newsletter: “Christian Nationalism doesn’t want Jesus – it wants a weapon in a tunic.”

Holy Week is a protest. #progressivechristian #holyweek #empire #resistance

Standing in solidarity for justice and equality. #progressivechristian #politicaljesus #resistance

Holy Week called. It wants its story back from the Christian Nationalists.

“It’s time to bless their bigoted hearts, not with kind words but with fierce resistance.” With GOP lawmakers pushing extreme laws (like in NC) to undermine democracy and target marginalized communities, love and justice are at stake.

"If your Christianity doesn’t break the chains of the marginalized, then it’s just a lullaby for the powerful."

Q: Do you believe Jesus was God? A: Rev Dr Mark Sandlin #progressivechristianity #progressivechristian #christian #spirtualtiktok #jesus

Maybe instead of obsessing over exact words, we should focus on the points Jesus was making. #christianity #progressivechristianity #Jesus #aramaic

If your Christianity needs a culture war, it’s not founded in Love.

Noah’s Ark Wasn’t the First Flood Story? Nope.

Jesus - political? Hell yeah.

Two Creation stories in the Bible? Yep. #progessivechristian #Bible #Creation

Nothing says ‘biblical family values’ like ignoring abuse, shaming women, and pretending LGBTQIA+ kids don’t exist.

It's ridiculous that some Christians are so fixated on what happens in people's bedrooms.

Surprise! Jesus wasn't Republican. Or American... or white.

"Get loud about fair wages, healthcare, and education that doesn’t bankrupt people. Flip a table or two when the empire gets too comfortable. "Because here’s the holy heresy of it all: "Sometimes the most Christ-like thing you can do… is raise a little hell for heaven’s sake."

Thoughts on the resistance that is communion from my Sunday message. (Part of my "Giving Up Giving Up" Lenten series).

My thoughts on why Christian Nationalists are afraid of empathy.

Remember.

Children playing house - except it’s the White House. #standwithukraine

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

From this Sunday's message...

A little clip from my Sunday message. "Charity is a bandage. Justice is surgery. Charity is love in the moment. Justice is love going forward." #progressivechristian #charity #justice #resistance
