This is the guy who leads Pete Hegseth’s church and spoke at the pentagon. It’s a cult.

If you want to know why so many of us have been sounding the alarm on Doug Wilson for years, and turning up the volume recently as he is given access to the highest levels of our government, watch this.

“The only Christian option” according to 80% of white evangelicals…

History will remember where Christians stood in this moment. Our children will ask us what we did when fascism came to America wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. zachwlambert.substack.com/p/you-cannot...

"Do not be too quick to condemn the man who no longer believes in God, for it is perhaps your own coldness and avarice, your mediocrity and materialism, your sensuality and selfishness that have killed his faith." - Thomas Merton

If your pastor is an ICE agent, it's time to find a new church.

All these politicians tweeting MLK Jr. quotes after they voted to ban his books from public school classrooms is a masterclass in hypocrisy.

We all watched the videos on January 6th, 2021. We all watched the videos on January 7th, 2026. Don’t let them gaslight us.

Maybe I'm "woke" but I don't think we should tolerate masked men arresting people without due process and shooting innocent bystanders.

I vividly remember watching it live on CNN and hearing Jake Tapper say something like "don't ever forget what you are watching right now because someday soon Trump and his sycophants will tell you it didn't actually happen."

“If you're going to vote for politicians who bomb countries and topple governments, you better take in the refugees you've created. Anything less is plain evil.” @joashpthomas.bsky.social

“They got money for wars but can't feed the poor” - Tupac Shakur

Wow—what an honor to be on this list, especially right next to Michelle 🙏🙌

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d write a book that Barnes and Noble would feature in between C.S. Lewis and Jimmy Carter 🤯 Thanks to a very kind reader who sent this to me 💙

Ok I’ve seen enough… I’m going to return my Clinton Bible, throw away my Clinton mugshot shirt, burn my Clinton hat, unplug my Clinton yard inflatable, and sell my Clinton crypto coins.

People on Twitter are saying the Epstein files are more blacked out than Pete Hegseth at happy hour and I’m dying.

Them: “Keep Christ in Christmas!” Me: "Ok! Let's spend the holidays feeding the hungry, giving water to the thirsty, welcoming immigrants, supporting the poor, providing healthcare for the sick, and visiting those in prison." Them: “Wait... No. Not like that.”

THEY DENIED HIM COMMUNION FROM HIS CLERGY!!!!

I spent the morning at an ICE Detention Center and I don’t think I will ever be the same. If you’d like to read it in full, I’ve put it in the comments below. My Day at an ICE Detention Center: open.substack.com/pub/zachwlam...

Tis the season for "Best Books of 2025" lists! 🏆🎉 We are excited to see so many Brazos Press authors on this list from @jtcochran.bsky.social! Read the whole list here: www.patheos.com/blogs/anxiou...

While reading "Better Ways to Read the Bible" by @zachwlambert.bsky.social, I was reminded of this quote by Jordan Harrell. I am not a "little bible", I am a "little Christ"/Christian... I follow Jesus. Be wary of those who quote the Bible but do not follow Jesus' way.

“Silence is political. You are not actually avoiding the difficult terrain of politics by not saying anything. Refusing to speak simply becomes tacit approval of the status quo.” Jemar Tisby

“Excuse me. I heard someone over here isn’t caring for the poor and welcoming immigrants.”

Thanksgiving in Texas.

I wish Christians in America would worry a lot less about our nation being Christian and a lot more about our actions being Christlike.

I don't read the Bible anymore, but I still really enjoyed talking about it with @zachwlambert.bsky.social and I'm glad he's actively working to de-weaponize it (is that a word?). I hope you connect with this conversation as much as I did.

Very cool to talk to the one and only @zachwlambert.bsky.social about his brand new book from @brazospress.bsky.social: Better Ways to Read the Bible!

New! In our first-ever double Zach episode, pastor @zachwlambert.bsky.social stops by to talk about his new book Better Ways to Read the Bible: Transforming a Weapon of Harm Into a Tool of Healing, and the various lenses through which people approach the text. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...

Releasing the Epstein files is not about partisan politics; it's about holding predators accountable. No part of me cares about the party affiliation of those who participated in Epstein's abusive criminal enterprise. ALL of them should be brought to justice.

When I post about a book signings for Better Ways to Read the Bible, I get messages from folks who want a signed copy mailed to them. I'm excited to announce we've created a way to do just that! Get a copy signed and personalized no matter where you live! www.zachwlambert.org/store/p/pers...

I would take the pro-life movement a lot more seriously if they were marching in the streets to demand full funding for SNAP and WIC like they march to protest against abortion.

Did y’all know that over 2/3rds of WIC and SNAP beneficiaries are children, elderly, or disabled?

I can’t wait to stay up late on No Kings Eve to eat bites of the Resistance Frog cookies, put pocket Constitutions in my grandchildren’s shoes, and then wake up the next morning for a dance party to all of our favorite Rage Against the Machine songs 💙

I hope someday we defeat fascism and in the far future, No Kings Day is celebrated as a federal holiday, and little children leave out dance mixtapes and cookies for the Resistance Frog, who leaves pocket Constitutions in their shoes.

To all the parents who brought us up in Christian spaces… Y’all taught us this.

Heath Mayo is a conservative, btw. This isn’t about partisan politics. This is about democracy. No thrones. No crowns. No kings.

If every time I condemn sexism, nationalism, white supremacy, and homophobia/transphobia you assume I’m condemning Christians, that tells me all I need to know about your version of Christianity.

Not a nightmare! h/t @zachwlambert.bsky.social

Can’t wait to start responding to all online my trolls with “this is Actually Romantic 😊”

Ding ding ding!

Empathy isn’t sinful or weak, it is a core value of Christianity and a foundational pillar of democracy. That’s why authoritarians are so intent on demonizing it.

'Are There Non-Harmful Ways to Read the Bible?' Listen to the conversation between @bradleyonishi.bsky.social and @zachwlambert.bsky.social, author of Better Ways to Read the Bible. www.straightwhiteamericanjesus.com/episodes/are...

Thanks so much for sharing all of this! So glad Better Ways To Read The Bible was helpful 😊

Guns are the leading cause of death for children and teens in America. And yet they are trying to restrict access to Tylenol, but not to guns.

@zachwlambert.bsky.social your book finally arrived! Looking forward to the read

“The countries where comedians can't mock the leader on late night TV are not really ones you want to live in.” Chris Hayes

"To be clear, the only motive for opposing this bill would be to conceal wrongdoing. You have a choice. Stand with the truth or with the lies that have protected predators for decades." - Epstein survivor Anouska de Georgiou Release the files.

In America, it's easier to get assault rifles than food stamps.

Suppose someone's child is gunned down. If one of you says to them, "Here are my thoughts and prayers," but does nothing else, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. - James 2:15-17 (with a modern update)
