Jesus is strong, good, kind, and trustworthy. Francophile. Fan of Weird Al, the U.S. Constitution, and dolce far niente. "Be curious, not judgmental." Ex-GOP, politically homeless. Pastor, but not the angry, faux-macho kind.

I want to live here.
To be a Christian is to be Entirely Done and Truly Hopeful at the same exact time
Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh, to have the courage and faith of Michaiah when all of Ahab's prophets are telling him to offer pleasing flattery and the king himself threatens his life.

Lord, may your preachers not be court prophets to an unholy power. Regardless of the cost, may I be true to you and your kingdom.
"Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"

Probably the best summary of what close church-state cooperation always leads to.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Nice gesture, but kind of a miss. Should've brought a frozen Giordanos and offered to heat it up for him. Also, Christmas is coming - no Frango mints?

Got to marry an older church couple today. Both had been widowed and met through GriefShare. Turns out they also like Elvis.

Staff came together to create a wedding chapel. The bride entered to "I Can't Help Falling in Love with You." The rest of the ceremony was more serious. 🙂

"Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings, and sexual assaults in several states"

Apparently these crimes are to be distinguished from the illegal things the masked secret police are doing with government sanction.
This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

Such wisdom here.

What freedom to be able to say "I am blessed. I have enough."
Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Of all the problems and concerns with this Administration - and there are many - the extrajudicial killing of foreign nationals with no evidence or oversight has to be near the top of the list.

When the work of shepherding leads us to pride, judgment, superiority, or deception, we have forgotten that we are a lamb. A shepherd who is not first a lamb is a dangerous shepherd and has ceased to follow the Good Shepherd.

I'm not saying people who have committed immigration offenses (overstaying visas, entering illegally) should never be taken into custody. I'm saying it should be done without terrorizing the community, and prioritize people who actually pose a threat to the community.

There's also apparently money to directly pay Pres. Tr*mp $230 million.

In case anyone is unclear, this is what the government shut down is about.

GOP thinks this is fine, Democrats want to extend tax credits that help Americans afford healthcare.
Just receieved this today from Florida Blue. This is for a Bronze plan. Our monthly premiums are going from $333 (2025) to $2300 in 2026.

Why did we install a government that hate its citizens?

People voted supreme executive power to some of the most ignorant, corrupt misanthropes in our nation's history. And most people just keep shrugging their shoulders. It will never make sense.

It’s incredible that the VT State Senator wrapped up in this hasn’t resigned yet — every major GOP leader in the state has called for his resignation. Fixing democracy requires restoring shame to public life. And accountability. Lots of accountability. vtdigger.org/2025/10/14/v...

This is the best one-line summary of the book of Jonah ever. It's a tale as old as time and as contemporary as today's news.

What does it say about us that we elected Jonah as President, though?
I call this Jonah's dilemma because he wants love but doesn't want everybody to have love too.

It's an ancient story with contemporary applications.

Which story of America do you want to live out?

On a side note, it's good to be reminded that we used to have (and could have again) Presidents who speak intelligently, thoughtfully, and compellingly.
OBAMA: “There has always been this fight over what is the true story of 🇺🇸?”

The former president boils it down powerfully on Maron’s final episode

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

🔥Folks, this is not a drill. They even admit they're going to wait until after the 2026 mid-terms to roll out their "alternatives" to Constitutional law. For some time, we have been in a constitutional crisis, and the people behind want to expand it and make sure they stay in power forever.🔥
When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

I have had people sit under my preaching for years and end up far, far left of me, theologically. I've had people sit under my preaching for years and end up far, far right of me, theologically.

My only prayer for us all is that we remain in Christ. Then One Day, we will all sit together and laugh.

Wise insights on a cynical culture and how to (re)build trust as a pastor.

"Congregants have learned to be suspicious of pastoral motives—and honestly, can you blame them?"

"shepherds care more about the welfare of the sheep than their own reputation."
