For today’s devotional entry, @lizcoolj.bsky.social writes that it is not too late for Christians to see that those who lead us into violence, greed, dehumanization, and Earth destruction are not leading us on good and fruitful paths.

A new #postevangelical prayer. For those who have been through some things. Which is all of us, I think?

Hoping to choose kindness.

Wrote some reflections on #hope a couple years ago that feel as relevant this #Advent as they ever have. Hope dwells in places of possibility.

At an evangelical church service (because in-laws), thinking about how while nothing said here is explicitly Trumpy, there's also absolutely nothing said that challenges a Trumpy mindset in any way. If churches aren't intentionally building a better way, what are we doing? #evangelicalism

Well good morning to everyone except the (white male) TSA officer who felt the need to say "you're almost expired!" when processing my driver's license... really, as if I had no idea? Def feel like he wouldn't have said that to a man. Also the expiration date is like a month away still.

Over here wondering if there's another wave of exodus from evangelicalism in the works or if Trump's election #1 in 2016 and the way evangelicals responded to COVID and BLM in 2020 (oh and the insurrection in 2021) pretty much cleared out everyone who was going to leave...
