The word of the Lord.
Bonus ep just dropped on Bodies Behind the Bus today. All Jay 🔥
Here is an excerpt
"As Brueggemann repeatedly pointed out, one of empire’s key projects is to shrink our imagination until the future we imagine doesn’t threaten its agenda."
Are we great yet?
The Evangelical Imagination is way on sale at @audible! 🎉🎉🎉
Imagine being more concerned about people being too compassionate than about people being too cruel.
If you read nothing else today, please read this quote:
“America First” *should* look like ensuring that every American has healthcare, housing, education, etc.
Fear makes us small. We default to scapegoats to manage our fragility. Know what is the actual cure? Love. Love enlarges us. Love emboldens us. Love offers a new perspective that is stronger, doesn't need scapegoats. Choose love.
Today is National Sorry Day in Australia.
We repent of white supremacy and colonialism and re-commit to making things right.

“For like a shaft, cold and clear, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty beyond its reach”
What a wonderful and hopeful sentence. And it’s all true, my friends.
Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw
The cost of living in Virginia is too high for families already struggling to put dinner on the table.
Virginia’s affordability crisis is real — and as Governor, it’ll be a priority of mine to lower costs so that families can thrive in our Commonwealth.
I’m running for Governor, because I believe Virginians deserve leadership that puts Virginia first.
That’s why I’m rolling out straightforward plans of what I’ll do as Governor to lower healthcare costs for Virginians.
It's not "deporting" to send people from Myanmar & Vietnam (with no due process) to South Sudan (wrong CONTINENT, & an area dealing w/war, hunger, torture, disappearances, other violence.)
It's kidnapping. It's trafficking. It's a crime against humanity that, in itself, merits a trip to the Hague.
My newsletter tomorrow is called, “Called To Love In A World Of Hate.”
In it, I invite us to reflect on Jesus’ “new command” to love one another in John 13:31-35 and the implications it has for us in our dark world today.

According to a study by Penn Wharton, Trump's "big, beautiful bill" that pays for tax breaks for the rich by cutting Medicaid leads to a $700 LOSS in income for the working class, a $1,000 LOSS in income for the poor & a $389,000 INCREASE for the top 0.1%.
We must defeat it.
"I want to tell Christian leaders in the world to contribute to the needy, so they can have hope that they are human."
Lying for Jesus isn’t cool.
And just because you think a fake stat “tells a true story” doesn’t mean you get to spread that fake stat.
Instead, it’s worth asking, “if the research doesn’t support what I’m saying, then could it be that I’m actually wrong?”
"In these communities, sweeps not only destroy unhoused people’s belongings but their communities as well. Homes need not be permanent structures to be sacred."

Accepting a private jumbo-jet from a foreign nation is a clear violation of our Constitution, which plainly prohibits U.S. officials from accepting gifts from foreign governments.
US pushes nations facing tariffs to approve Musk’s Starlink. Wow the corruption. An internal State Department memo lays it bare:“As the government of Lesotho negotiates a trade deal with the United States, it hopes that licensing Starlink demonstrates goodwill and intent to welcome U.S. businesses.”
we need to talk about the pathological culture of hate that millions of americans raise their children in
