I want to be absolutely clear: The end goal is no more nonaffirming churches.
Not a "diversity of thought" that's just rewriting purity codes. Not a "range of opinions" with a variety of ways to exclude and dehumanize and tolerate "separate but equal."
Not a bare minimum. Not an "I love you but."

We are accounted righteous before God, only for the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by Faith, and not for our own works or deservings.

Style Definition: Style is how people use cultural signals to express identity and belonging. On Twitch and TikTok, the whole “cozy streamer” vibe—soft lighting, lo-fi music, warm conversation—has become its own recognizable style. It tells you right away what kind of space you’ve stepped into.
For a little context because I’m sure people have their assumptions and opinions. We were to provide a definition (and a modern example) for the following terms:
1. Hegemony 2. Style/Poaching 3. Hyperreal
I made a distinction between style and poaching and used Cozy Streamers as an example of style

Drag Queens and “Cozy Streamers” are two topics I never would have guessed I would talk about in a discussion board assignment for a class but here we are I guess 🤣
I brought up Cozy Streamers in my post. A classmate brought up Drag Queens in their post
The class? Theology and Popular Culture

I’m still out here wondering who thought it was ok to interview a child after he survived a school shooting…
We cannot keep living like this.
I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of this. I’m tired of the violence. I’m tired of the “thoughts and prayers” response.

Holy mischief doesn’t always have to be loud or righteous. Sometimes it just looks like joy in a world that tries to shame it out of you.
