Sixers!!!

First truly relaxing and slow paced Saturday in a minute. Morning walk, caught the Harrisburg parade rolling up Market St, and later I’m linking up with a Philly FRIEND in town I haven’t seen in years. Feeling good today.

On my way to Nashville to give the Tuesday evening keynote at the Jesus Worldview Conference at Belmont University. Excited to connect with John Franke & David Gushee. I’ll be speaking on “Justice through a Jesus Lens.” More info: JesusWorldview.com #ProfsOnaPlane

Great interview with @druhart.bsky.social about the Black prophetic tradition. overcast.fm/+AAAPcGLipkg

At the Life Through a Jesus Lens conference in October, speakers will help us reflect on how do we lead (Greg Jones/ Belmont Univ. Pres), how do we do justice ( @druhart.bsky.social ), how do we look at morality (ethicist David Gushee), and how do we do congregational life though a Jesus lens?

Heading to Indianapolis. I've been honored to direct a program funded by Lilly called Thriving Together: Congregations for Racial Justice. We don't believe we are done yet, so I will be doing some dreaming and planning. #ProfsonaPlane

Headed to Roanoke, VA this weekend! Fri – Talk on reparations @ Roanoke College (6:30pm) Sat – Racial justice & peacemaking @ Oak Grove COB (10am + book signing) Sun – Preaching @ Central COB (11am) Grateful to reflect on God’s justice, love & deliverance. #ProfsonaPlane

“Hart calls us to the radical way of Jesus—rebuking civil religion, Christian nationalism, and distorted Christianity that privileges the few.” —Dennis R. Edwards #MakingItPlain Available anywhere books are sold: heraldpress.com/978151381634...

🔥 "With historical acumen and theological precision, Hart holds no punches, withholds no treasure, and comes with receipts." — @lisasharper.bsky.social Making It Plain is a book for these times. Out now everywhere books are sold. Herald Press: share.google/XeStkqIYxwc5...

Be careful today friends. The spiral of violence is a real thing and people groups already deemed disposable are often the ones "sacrificed" for empire's sake. Stay vigilant.

"This book makes plain where Christians have been, where we are, and where we need to go" -Dennis Edwards #MakingItPlain is about truth-telling. We need to reckon the legacy of Christendom, Doctrine of Discovery /Antiblackness, and ongoing ecclesial harm. heraldpress.com/978151381634...

New episode of @shiftingculture.bsky.social with @druhart.bsky.social. We dig into: – Christendom & empire – Doctrine of Discovery – White supremacy & Christian nationalism – Anablactivism: radical discipleship to Jesus + prophetic witness Out now anywhere you get podcasts.

Your job and title don't define who you are. Just a reminder. That's all.

MAKING IT PLAIN by @druhart.bsky.social Growing up as a putative 'Christian' & spending all my adult life as one, I had been pushed to believe that my central purpose in life was to 'share the good news' which meant get people to listen to the 'Gospel' & then get them to say the 'sinners prayer'.

Tomorrow I’ll be in convo w/ Pete Enns @ Midtown Scholar @7pm about my book #MakingItPlain. Followers of Jesus must resist the Christian nationalism & rising neofascism happening. There is a virtual option. Don’t miss it! Registration required: www.eventbrite.com/e/an-evening...

Yet most of the history of Western Christianity has been about power and control and domination. This book, MAKING IT PLAIN by @druhart.bsky.social, is a corrective to the current ways of thinking and doing. #ChurchHistory #Anabaptism #Mennonite #Justice heraldpress.com/978151381634...

Don't read comments on random threads on Facebook. It'll horrify you and help you understand our predicament. #LaughNowCryLater

So I ended up buying two copies of the book because...well, it's a good book, and I want to read it more than one time. 😂 But seriously, it's a great book. @druhart.bsky.social #MakingItPlain heraldpress.com/978151381634...

This book just dropped! Thank you @druhart.bsky.social for foregrounding two important traditions that we need to seriously engage if we hope to be serious about Jesus.

MAKING IT PLAIN, by @druhart.bsky.social , not only explains this embrace but also shows the path out of that captivity into a more holistic faith that considers both the individual and the community. #ChurchHistory #Anabaptism #Mennonite #History heraldpress.com/978151381634...

My new book is officially our in the real world. It is a timely word for our troubled times. Greatful for the great feedback from early readers. Available anywhere books are sold. Link: heraldpress.com/978151381636...

So, @jarrodmckenna.bsky.social calls Making It Plain a "nonviolent messianic-cocktail". It's an urgent and necessary book for our times. Order wherever books are sold: Herald Press: heraldpress.com/978151381636... Amazon: a.co/d/5AshOrU

Mainstream Christians gonna go to church this morning looking for Jesus and get a partisan TED talk, a smoke machine concert, and bad coffee. But genuine disciples will encounter Jesus by breaking bread, loving the vulnerable, and flipping tables of injustice. #MakingItPlain

Let’s stop pretending Christianity ain’t been used to justify some of the worst violence and oppression out here. Making It Plain exposes how the faith got hijacked and lifts up the ones trying to live a more Jesus-shaped way. Preorder: heraldpress.com/978151381636... #MakingItPlain

I watched #Superman a couple nights ago. Some of y’all loved it, others thought it was boring. I’m somewhere in the middle. An interesting take, solid direction for DC, but no strong feelings either way. Curious why such vastly different responses from thoughtful people. Is it just expectations?

Got to catch the brilliant and hilarious @joshjohnsoncomedy live in Philly. He had the whole room in his palms! 🔥😂 Even cooler, I got to meet him after the show. Grateful for his wit, insight, and storytelling. #JoshJohnson Philly #flowerstour #ComedyNight #JoyAsResistance

Honored to recently receive the Revelation 7:9 Award from the Intercultural Ministries office of the Church of the Brethren, recognizing my efforts in racial justice education and activism. Though I couldn’t be there in person, I’m grateful my pastor accepted it on my behalf.

This Republican megabill is a moral disgrace. -Tax breaks for the rich. -More money for the military industrial complex and ICE. -Cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and clean energy, with billions stripped from the most vulnerable. Yet empire & greed are fully funded. Jesus flipped tables for way less.

Jesus said blessed are the poor and woe to you who are rich. White Conservative Christians reversed that Jubilee ethic & seek to maximize the suffering of the most vulnerable by taking what little they have left away. "For the more you abound in wealth, the more you lack in love." - Basil 4th cent.
