I put 1oz of Drambuie and a scoop of vanilla ice cream in my afternoon decaf coffee and it’s…not bad!
Honest Q: If you moved away from “penal substitutionary atonement” as the main way of explaining salvation, but you still hold Christ’s death and resurrection as central to redemption, how do you explain Christ’s death to young children? Your 3-5yo asks “why did Jesus have to die?” What do you say?

Show your pastor, bishop, etc. the same level of trust that they show to those who come forward with accusations of abuse. Don’t just blindly follow a pulpit, collar, or mitre if they don’t demonstrate concern for the vulnerable.

Trying to gather all of my thoughts on what is WRONG with Christian Nationalism. Along biblical-theological lines, I’m excited to read the forthcoming “Jesus and the Powers” by Wright & Bird. And I’m reminded of “The Way of the Dragon or the Way of the Lamb” by Goggin & Strobel. Any other book recs?
Christian Nationalism is on the rise in the USA. I sincerely hope it fails, for the good of the country and the good of the church. Give “Thickening Webs on the Christian Right” by Du Mez a read.
