The amount of young people who became writers because of Michelle Trachtenberg and Harriet the Spy is way higher than you'd think

The primary problem with American evangelicalism is not that it is too evangelical, but that it is far too American.
The values and aspirations of the American empire are given religious sanction in the evangelical church. This the very opposite of what it means to be a prophetic people.

Highly recommend:
"Join or Die" on Netflix about community in America.
Stunning conclusions about how hierarchy destroys trust, well-being, and democracy -- and how horizontal social connections create meaning, purpose, equality, and commitment to better societies.
Inspiring! Organize!

Women, let’s normalize saying, “I feel disrespected"--or even "you disrespected me."
You don’t just feel sad, ignored, helpless, frustrated, confused, or disappointed.
Sometimes, you feel disrespected, because you WERE disrespected. And you can admit that. Loudly.

Beware of any Christian who defends or affirms the inaction of the priest & the Levite in Jesus’ parable about the Good Samaritan. And certainly don’t give them any authority; they are either incandescently dense or unashamedly wicked.

What a shallow, shriveled gospel we claim to hold if it doesn't include the things Bishop Mariann Budde said in her sermon. "Because God has extended hospitality and mercy to us, that requires us to extend hospitality and mercy to others."

Christian nationalism takes the name of the Lord in vain. It’s a diabolical attempt to highjack the name of the Lord to serve the selfish interests of a particular nation or empire over and against the interests of other nations and the universal (catholic) kingdom of Christ.
