HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!🏳️‍🌈

For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a children's book artist. After graduating from art school, I began my career as an illustrator and an art director until life moved me into ministry, and then writing...

If you profess to be a follower of Jesus, I’m not concerned with your politics, and I don’t care about your doctrine. I’m not interested in the Scriptures you can recite or the prayers you utter out loud. Show me a working theology of empathy... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-maga-...

It would be a Herculean task to endure such prolific brutality from our alleged leadership and remain tethered to sanity... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/an-america...

Artificial Intelligence evangelists insist that we’re afraid of this technology, but they’re misreading the situation and our response. I’m not afraid of generative AI; I’m morally opposed to it, and there’s a big difference... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/im-not-afr...

How do we assess the goodness of the people around us when their political affiliations, theological beliefs, and personal ideologies are doing irreparable harm to other people? johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dont-mista...

Whether on Memorial Day or any day we wake up with such a small, cowardly, petty disgrace of a man leading this nation, we should be livid at the insult he is to those who truly loved America and gave their all for it... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/on-memoria...

I like presidents who don’t skip their child’s wedding.

Friends, My first children's book, 'HERE and NOW and SMALL and CLOSE,' arrives on June 23rd. It's been a long-time dream and a true labor of love...

Uninteresting, nondescript, base-level white guys who've been the beneficiaries of every privilege and advantage their pigmentation and pronouns afford for 250 years are watching time, progress, and demographic changes coming to swallow them up... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/mediocre-w...

'On Memorial Day and Every Day, Donald Trump is an Insult to Those Who Died Serving This Nation' johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/on-memoria...

By allowing our Military to be at the whims of this traitorous felon and helmed by a disgraced TV personality, we have failed our veterans; squandering their service and wasting their sacrifice... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/on-memoria...

'Stephen Colbert and The Late Show's "Joy Machine" Won. Donald Trump and MAGA's Misery Movement Lost Again.' johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/stephen-co...

Joy. Gratitude. Genuine affection for other people. In just over two minutes during his show's finale, Colbert exhibited the kind of quiet, confident humanity that the current president has never had access to... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/stephen-co...

Signing the first batch of copies of my forthcoming children's book 'HERE and NOW and SMALL AND CLOSE,' arriving on June 23rd! I am so excited to send this hopeful, spirited little jewel out into the world I am not selling this through Bezosland. You can order at herenowsmallclose.com

This is Charlie. He wants you to know that, while gentle and good-natured, he's as serious as a heart attack about you ordering his human's book so that he can have the promised treats. Charlie thanks you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. pavlovitzdesign.com/products/a-s...

It’s morning here in America, and for many white people who fancied themselves as “woke,” it’s been a rude awakening. A lot happened while we were sleeping. Our prolonged repose actually began in November of 2008... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/while-woke...

Uninteresting, nondescript, base-level white guys who, for the past 250 years, have been the beneficiaries of every advantage their pigmentation and pronouns afford, see time, progress, and the inexorable demographic changes coming to swallow them up... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/mediocre-w...

Fuel prices are so high, MAGAs can't even afford to gaslight themselves or us anymore.

Look, I’m not a theological expert by any means, but as a 3-decade pastor and student of the Bible, I feel fairly confident in saying that if the Hell Conservative Evangelicals promise does exist, Franklin Graham is a slam dunk. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/franklin-g...

The only three things missing from Rededicate 250 were Christians, Jesus, and the Constitution.

Trump-Supporting Christian, I thought I had the gist of Jesus. Now, I think maybe I’ve been doing this wrong all these years. For my entire life, I assumed something that perhaps I shouldn’t have: I thought Christians were supposed to care about people. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-maga-...

RALEIGH! See you tomorrow (Sunday) at 10:30 AM at Unitarian Universalist Peace Fellowship - Raleigh! We got some stuff to talk about!

RALEIGH!!! I'll be there THIS SUNDAY AT 10:30 AM at Unitarian Universalist Peace Fellowship. Let's gather as an intentional community seeking to bring peace to a world and a people at war. If you're frustrated, grieving, pissed off, or exhausted, come and help us mine hope together.

'The Trump Administration Just Declared War on Anti-Fascists... Because That's What Fascists Do.' johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

As part of its news “counterterrorism” strategy, the Trump Administration just announced that they’re coming for “anti-fascists.” Let me say that again: An American presidency is openly declaring war on Americans who oppose fascism... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

Just so the Trump Administration knows where we stand... pavlovitzdesign.com

My Friends, 'HERE and NOW and SMALL and CLOSE' arrives June 23rd. It would mean the world to me if you'd preorder it today!

There is a cost to enduring the unceasing, ten-year storm of Constitutional crises, acts of treason, atrocities against vulnerable people, and the cultic indoctrination of tens of millions of people we share a nation with... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-miss-the...

Being gaslit will wear you the hell out, which of course, is the plan. I think we all need to collect ourselves and understand what’s really happening here... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-gaslig...

Donald Trump's approval rating is currently 28 percent. The 72 percent need to wield our collective power and end this extremist MAGA nightmare once and for all. It's time.

If on this Mother’s Day you are struggling, know that you are not alone. May these words be the flowers that you wait for, or the call that won’t come, or the conversation that you can’t have, or the reunion that has not yet arrived... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/when-mothe...

'To Hell With You, White Republican Christians, A Letter From a Former Pastor.' johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-hell-wi...

To all the white Republican professed Christians across this country: To hell with you... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-hell-wi...

'It's Time to Tear Down The Golden Idol of White Christian Nationalism' johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/its-time-t...

I know that in the Bible, religious people ended up abandoning God and mindlessly worshiping a golden calf, so it shouldn’t be surprising that so many today are now bowing down to this orange jack*ss. It’s just more terrifying seeing it this close... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/its-time-t...

Friends, my forthcoming children's book, 'HERE and NOW and SMALL and CLOSE,' is a reminder that we all have the ability to make the world a kinder, more loving place, no matter how difficult things get. I would be extremely grateful if you'd visit herenowsmallclose.com and order a copy today.

MAGA is a desperate, shrinking movement.😂

Dear White Evangelical Church, you’re dying. You’re dying because of your staggering hypocrisy, your willful ignorance, your devotion to cruelty, your complicity in violence... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-white...

In a world of Republicans, be someone who doesn't kiss the *ss of a traitorous, racist serial r*pist.

When MAGA Americans finally realize that they, too, are victims of the criminality and predation they initially hoped would only be for those despised others (the immigrant, the gay, the brown, the black, the woke), then it will be a bridge too far... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-trump-s...

If you really want to celebrate #teacherappreciationweek and support our dedicated educators, vote Democrat in the midterms.

Hey MAGAs and Trump Supporters, No Cinco de Mayo for you. Seriously, y’all need to sit this one out… johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/hey-trump-...

Anti-racist white people, this is our fight.

What is painfully obvious in these moments isn't simply that the person allegedly leading this country is a terrible human being; it is that anyone still defending him, applauding him, justifying him, and celebrating him probably is, too... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/no-good-pe...
