Heading to Indianapolis. I've been honored to direct a program funded by Lilly called Thriving Together: Congregations for Racial Justice. We don't believe we are done yet, so I will be doing some dreaming and planning.

“Hart calls us to the radical way of Jesus—rebuking civil religion, Christian nationalism, and distorted Christianity that privileges the few.” —Dennis R. Edwards #MakingItPlain

Be careful today friends. The spiral of violence is a real thing and people groups already deemed disposable are often the ones "sacrificed" for empire's sake. Stay vigilant.

"This book makes plain where Christians have been, where we are, and where we need to go" -Dennis Edwards

#MakingItPlain is about truth-telling. We need to reckon the legacy of Christendom, Doctrine of Discovery /Antiblackness, and ongoing ecclesial harm.

So, @jarrodmckenna.bsky.social calls Making It Plain a "nonviolent messianic-cocktail". It's an urgent and necessary book for our times.

How do we salvage the Jesus Way in an age of Christian nationalism? Making It Plain wrestles with that very question.

My book exposes Christendom & colonialism in the west, but it also unveils the wisdom, beauty & faithfulness of the Black Anabaptist tradition through slavery, Jim Crow & today. A gift to the church as we embrace radical discipleship in the way of Jesus.

Beloved community is God’s dream where everybody belongs, matters, and thrives.

That’s the ultimate vision of Making It Plain. If the church dares to embody the Way, we’ll look more like Jesus.

Preorder now, out Sept 2: heraldpress.com/978151381636...

Let’s stop pretending Christianity ain’t been used to justify some of the worst violence and oppression out here.

Making It Plain exposes how the faith got hijacked and lifts up the ones trying to live a more Jesus-shaped way.

Honored to recently receive the Revelation 7:9 Award from the Intercultural Ministries office of the Church of the Brethren, recognizing my efforts in racial justice education and activism. Though I couldn’t be there in person, I’m grateful my pastor accepted it on my behalf.

This Republican megabill is a moral disgrace.

-Tax breaks for the rich.
-More money for the military industrial complex and ICE.
-Cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and clean energy, with billions stripped from the most vulnerable.

Yet empire & greed are fully funded.

Jesus flipped tables for way less.
