It’s an honour to host the great Paula Fredriksen on the podcast. We discussed her most recent book, Ancient Christianities: The First Five Hundred Years, and her deep knowledge of Christianity and Judaism. Come and learn about “high frequency combat theology”!

The Texas bishop on the front lines of the U.S. immigration crackdown met Wednesday with Pope Leo and brought him a packet of letters from immigrant families “terrorized” by fear that they and their loved ones will be rounded up and deported. apnews.com/article/vati...

Another tragic accident.

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

Judge Goodstein's husband and 2 others were rushed to the hospital. Domestic terrorism?

I've never considered myself particularly religious, but I've become increasingly convinced of the truth of a thing we might call a soul; primarily through my reading and study, but also from being made to bear witness to the behaviours of people whose have clearly deposed and abandoned their own.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

"This episode has brought to light a serious rupture in the US Church. Collegiality and fraternity have given way to hostility and open conflict."

This is the President explicitly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if voters elect a candidate he opposes.

This is an unlawful attempt to coerce voters through federal financial threats and a textbook example of voter intimidation to influence the outcome of a local election.

"Why would it bow to antidemocratic pressures by placing a professor on leave without their request, consent, or involvement? That any university would do this is beyond comprehension and is cause for alarm about the future of academic freedom in Canada."

Got it. Wow.

I can only think of Trump. Who’s the other?

Who needs legal precedent when it’s inconvenient? The law is what I say it is.

“They’re, they’re animals anyway. That’s what I would tell my kids all the time,” said the ICE agent, according to body cam footage. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

The new President of Regent College in Vancouver, my friend Paul Spilsbury, and I had a conversation about theological education in 2025. A great conversation as to how he was drawn to biblical studies, his work on Josephus, and the task of a theological college.

Do you want to know who George Soros really is? He’s a Holocaust survivor. He’s one of the world’s greatest philanthropists for progressive causes. It’s DESPICABLE that the “justice” department is going after him. They “claim” to care about Jews. Not true www.georgesoros.com/the-life-of-...

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law.

this is a great episode about modern-day hagiography and martyrology, and how reductive, obfuscating, and *powerful* these narratives are.

i’d pair it with elizabeth castelli’s masterful coda on martyrology and columbine from _martyrdom and memory_.

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.”

Bowing down to a bully never works.

And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

This is a well-reported deep dive into the movement to turn academic Jewish Studies into the junior partner of Christian nationalists by creating bad scholarship on "Judeo-Christian civilization," a project now being supported by the Trump administration. arcmag.org/the-mind-of-...
