So much fun! I talk about the book of course, and my latest trip to Tijuana and visiting the Deported Veterans Resource Center, but also around the 38 minute mark or so, we have a conversation about where this timeline diverged. It's a fun conversation!

The revocation of temporary protected status for Myanmar will have deadly consequences. Many of those in the US from Myanmar are Christian or Muslim in a predominantly Buddhist country and many are ethnic minorities who will face imprisonment, torture, and execution. This action must be reversed.

It's Launch Day! But the link in the shared post is broken. Best place to get FORTUNATE SON is through the publisher for 25% off (link below). Second best place is your local indie bookstore and third is Bookshop.org!

My friends in Chicago were arrested for bringing communion & sharing prayer w/detained migrants.

Yesterday, myself & a team from Wisconsin participated in prayer & communion w/deported US Veterans in Tijuana.

Grateful for my clergy friends in Chicago.
Grateful for the Border Church in TJ.
I am on the left, wearing a black sweater. My friend D translated for me in Spanish is on the other side of the sign reading The Border Church, La Iglesia Fronteriza. In front, T, wearing a black coat, and M, wearing a blue coat, offer communion to a deported US Army Veteran at the Border Church in Tijuana, right in front of the wall.

I was really tempted to share a photo of the dedication from my book, but I decided not to spoil it. I hope it is meaningful to those who need to read it. ❤️
