A 27-year-old Covenant College grad who died of cancer and wrote poetry about God's faithfulness in suffering is among thousands who sued Johnson & Johnson over its baby powder. Story by @emlybelz: christianitytoday.com/news/2023/july…

The Biden administration's pivot back to the Trumpian policies is complete. These new asylum restrictions mirrors in large part one of the Trump administration's harshest anti-asylum policies, the 2019 asylum transit ban—which two separate federal courts struck down as unlawful.

AMERICAN DEPRAVITY: A child weeps while on a school bus leaving the Covenant School to go to a reunification center after a mass shooting. Three students and three adults were killed by a shooter who was killed by police. 📸 by Nicole Hester, @Tennessean tennessean.com/story/news/202…
You cannot "politicize" our national disaster of gun violence when it is of our own political making.
It is premature for a bishop to "decide to come off his voluntary leave of absence" - and for @The_ACNA leaders to allow him to do so - while the bishop is currently under investigation for spiritual abuse (by Telios Law Firm).

3 yo daughter, pointing to a broke toy: “We can fix it?” Me: “Of course.” Her: “Why do we fix it?” Me: “Umm, to make it work again?” Her: “No. Because we love it.” Me: *silently contemplates the theology my toddler just taught me*

Witnesses are saying the Highland Park gunman was on a roof and had a semiautomatic rifle. One doctor said, “I did CPR on a 9-year-old until the paramedics pushed me off. This was a mass casualty zone. I saw two people eviscerated by the AR-15.”
Clearly being conservative is correlated with opposing abortion. But is it correlated w/actually having abortions? Data from Regnerus's 2014 RIA survey. As women swing more conservative, they oppose abortion. But conservative women are hardly any less likely to have had one. 1/3
You can miss me with all the Christian posts about Roe saying "Now the next phase of our work begins." That "next phase" should have begun fifty years ago, and should have been wholly independent of Roe's existence. If we didn't start it then, I'm not holding my breath now.
Upset @johnmacarthur’s calm advocacy for slavery isn’t getting more press. It’s telling that marriage/parenting are his comparison, since in his worldview women & children must accept their “best possible world” in service to a benevolent patriarchical master/husband/father.

I am so tired of spirituality being sold as 'achieving your best self' when it is about radically loving others and the world, especially when it is inconvenient. That's what makes spirituality so arrestingly beautiful and maddeningly difficult.
I think it is so, so good that Colbert has such passion for his own faith and for talking about faith with guests. Obviously it’s not something to interrogate everybody about, but these two guys? Sure.

It’s weird how when the Buffalo shooting happened, there wasn’t this whole movement to arm the cashiers… or black people.
People treat gun control an awful lot like they treat racism. They avoid possible systemic and policy remedies and instead individualize the crisis as if it is solely a matter of individual choice and behavior.
Hi. I think this fact bears repeating in light of reporting on Uvalde: The media's bias in favor of specific events/stories about individual people contributes to a way of thinking about the world that emphasizes the role of the individual over systemic solutions... 🧵

The idea that a reporter in the room should not describe details of said room because it “humanizes” someone who, whatever else he may be, is human, is so antithetical to what journalism is about. Whoever is saying such ridiculous things should engage in serious introspection.
Some of you have criticized me because I am “humanizing” Trump with my characterization of how he appeared in the courtroom today. The American public has no view inside of this courtroom. There are no photos allowed. No video. The only documentation of the scene of the former…
This is what American cities looked like a century ago. Everything you see here was demolished. Why? This is what happened... (thread) 🧵
Finally read the Uri Berliner piece on NPR biasand I'm baffled by how little the enormous media controversy it spawned has resulted in scrutiny of its claims for factual accuracy. There are significant problems with the piece including obvious, verifiable falsehoods
With his much-read essay on NPR, Uri Berliner has added to the episodic data on partisan leanings of mainstream U.S. newsrooms. In NPR's D.C. HQ a few years ago, he found 87 Dem journos and 0 Republican journos. thefp.com/p/npr-editor-h…
It was such an honor to endorse JESUS AND THE POWERS by the inimitable N.T. Wright & @mbird12. It’s a book for progressives & conservatives, for American Christians & Chrs outside America. It will make you think & maybe make you uncomfortable. (Would be a great book club choice.)

Yesterday I published my Q1 brand social trend report. It’s a little bit of science and a whole lot of gut. Kind of how I approach social strategy in general. Let’s break down five trends mentioned in it.
Analysis | The murder rate soared in 2020 in anticipation of a soft on crime Biden administration. It’s now rapidly falling in anticipation of the next Trump administration.
Okay this doing numbers. I don't have anything to plug. Just follow me for more riviting takes I guess. Oh and donate $1 to your local legal aid and stop supporting politicians who want to defund it (republicans). Muting now because I can't live this way.

Is anyone interested in being on a @faithandhistory panel about the intersection between 20th/21st century evangelicals and Christian business, marketing, and branding in for-profit and non-for-profit sectors (including churches, schools, and parachurch ministries)?
@carrierwoodward Haha that’s such a good point. The emphasis on the blood itself is an interesting and potentially off-putting reduction of that metaphor.
9 Lies I Was Taught As An Evangelical: 1. C.S. Lewis was an Evangelical and his theological views would be compatible a right-wing conservative American Evangelical fundamentalist literalist worldview. Nope.
We live in a neighborhood where there are a lot of senior citizens and since my husband has gone around knocking on all their doors to meet every one of them over the years, it has turned into a situation where they knock on our door to catch up him regularly during the day.
Wow, my editor just told me the publisher is already printing additional copies of THE EXVANGELICALS! So excited to see that people are reading and resonating with it! us.macmillan.com/books/97812502…
I hope that the defeat of Bring Chicago Home will be a wake-up call for Mayor Johnson’s administration. I want him to succeed, but he and his team are not putting in the work to show that they’re trustworthy and competent. This was a big chance to do that, and they blew it.
I sometimes work in a cafe in which NY finance guys meet casually and discuss business and eavesdropping on their conversations would radicalize you in a way that the "Marxist professor" in right-wing propaganda could only dream about.
Anyone else read a memoir and think you either have a terrible memory or a forgettable childhood or both? I can describe like a dozen scenes from growing up, but they're all random, without significance or throughline.

@punditcoder there absolutely is changing minds with religious beliefs and values. that is literally me. that is so many of my friends.
It seems to me that the Israel/Palestine conflict is one of the most complicated geo-political situations in the world. I do not know the history as well as I'd like, nor do I have any great answers. Yet I'm caught off guard by this passage from Proverbs.
