As a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as one ordained and set apart for the office of pastor in Christ’s Church, I do not care what our government says. This president can sign any executive order he wants, but that doesn’t change this truth: God made you. 1/8

One year of ordained ministry is in the books. It’s been a beautiful, humbling first year of being the Reverend Carson Hollis.

“Christmas is for the oppressed. It is for those who know exile and the bitterness of hunger. The angels’ song of peace was not first heard in royal palaces or halls of government power, but in the shepherds’ fields.”

Christ reigns precisely by refusing to reign. He refuses the divine right of kings for a towel and basin, a crown of gold for a crown of thorns, and a throne for the hard wood of the cross.
