A post-evangelical #prayer for a new year

Read a few books in 2024, here are some of my fiction faves! growingintokinship.substack.com/p/fave-ficti...

Someone's gotta unsettle that Advent... glad to be able to contribute to a great series from @wordandway.bsky.social advent.wordandway.org/p/unsettling...

For today’s devotional entry, @lizcoolj.bsky.social writes that it is not too late for Christians to see that those who lead us into violence, greed, dehumanization, and Earth destruction are not leading us on good and fruitful paths.

Happy to be able to contribute once again to the Feminism and Religion blog. Reflecting on those brazen Bible women of the Christmas story... feminismandreligion.com/2024/12/18/n...

A new #postevangelical prayer. For those who have been through some things. Which is all of us, I think? Hoping to choose kindness.

Well ain't that the truth...

Wrote some reflections on #hope a couple years ago that feel as relevant this #Advent as they ever have. Hope dwells in places of possibility. christiansforsocialaction.org/resource/on-...

At an evangelical church service (because in-laws), thinking about how while nothing said here is explicitly Trumpy, there's also absolutely nothing said that challenges a Trumpy mindset in any way. If churches aren't intentionally building a better way, what are we doing? #evangelicalism

Well good morning to everyone except the (white male) TSA officer who felt the need to say "you're almost expired!" when processing my driver's license... really, as if I had no idea? Def feel like he wouldn't have said that to a man. Also the expiration date is like a month away still.

Thinking about the time a few weeks ago when I was waiting in line to board a Southwest flight. The two young white men in front of me were agitated and upset and kept talking about how "fucking wild" it was that the gate agent wouldn't let their friend (in a lower boarding group) (1/2)

Heard someone say don't let this make you lose your sobriety. And I feel like a lot of us can relate in so many different ways. Don't let it derail your self-care commitments of any sort...and especially of the sort that connect with and grow community care at the same time.

Over here wondering if there's another wave of exodus from evangelicalism in the works or if Trump's election #1 in 2016 and the way evangelicals responded to COVID and BLM in 2020 (oh and the insurrection in 2021) pretty much cleared out everyone who was going to leave...
