I loved seeing this in person as a wedding anniversary present from my wife. I was in tears for much of it as I felt the music and remembered how my siblings would sing around the piano with my mom.

Also, the extended outro for How to Grow Up Big and Strong was awesome.

I think I really only know 2 songs from them: Sleep and When You Thought You'd Never Stand Out. Did you have any other favorites for someone who wants to get into this band?

And to be fair, I confessed to my pastor that I didn't want to pray for the oppressors; but if I did pray, it would be for three shots to their faces. So when I say I struggle, I mean I get your sentiment pretty well. I'm just not sure if God's justice looks like that.

I struggle with this. I want vengeance. I think God wants us to desire justice. I don't know how to pray for violent people in power anymore. But I am confident of how we should treat the broken, imprisoned, those cast aside. I am hoping to see Jesus there somehow.

I really appreciate your work. I have left most of the Piper-adjacent theology and discipleship behind. It just seemed increasingly incompatible with the example of Jesus.
May we all find Him when we welcome the broken and the least of these.

America stands for hate, murder, destruction, and theft (among many other detrimental attributes), and has recently amplified the rewards for such things.

Meanwhile, immigrants by huge margins work the hardest jobs, engage in criminal acts less than citizens, and spread many excellent qualities.

The Psalmist would ask in times like these, "How long, O Lord?"

When will you judge those who crush the poor, marginalized, sick, children, elderly?

How long, God? Seriously. How long do we have to wait? Where are you?

Those that support Republicans are either ignorant, 100% bought into their propaganda, or just plain defective, morally bankrupt people. I suspect a high number are all three.

There is an outside chance you can join their circle jerk.

You can't even stop the rapists in your own party!

Republicans are cucks for the billionaires at best and top level Nazis at the worst.

Please remember that Hamas does not equal Palestinians, and most inhabitants of Gaza that last voted for anything to do with Hamas are dead. The person with considerable influence on the rise of Hamas in Gaza is Israel's own PM, war criminal Bibi. Israel's loss has been paid back 100 fold.

They can identify as Christian if they choose, but I think we should defend religious identity politics and go by their religion given to them in the womb.

Kirk "revival" is a renewed commitment to the death cult of Trump and white nationalism.

RNS opinion pieces seem to have a "Let's look at how this racist piece of shit was actually a good man" kind of vibe.

It bummed me out about this specific instance of the artists' endorsement of empire, but it helped me get another view: that it has been happening for some time.
Thank you for also boldly calling it what it is: racism and white supremacy.

"By Your Side" is great for ugly crying.

"In the Valley of the Dying Sun" and "Field of Daggers" is great for reminding that God has more for us than this.

Sometimes, I still believe in a fire and brimstone type hell. May those who use children find out soon through the acts of no human hands or deeds, but through the power of the god they claim to serve.

Wait, it was the suicide that got Hitler in hell? Do you really mean that? I guess I don't remember that being a part of the Bible.
