After 15 years of content creation and hosting, I published the last Messy Jesus Business blog post this morning. I know it was right to stop putting so much energy into this ministry that has formed me, yet goodness gracious I sure feel sad! And GRATEFUL! messyjesusbusiness.com/2026/06/25/h...

Ya'll. I am shook. In a good way. Pope Leo XIV makes historic apology for Holy See's own role in legitimizing Slavery

Minnesota organizers want us to help turn up the heat on the state's biggest regime-friendly corporations. Contact Target, Hilton, Enterprise, Home Depot, and Delta Airlines to demand they take action to get ICE out of our communities FOR GOOD.
