Just a few of the more disgruntled comments we’ve heard from the sidelines this year. Turns out that being a culturally & politically engaged festival with a committed Christian faith and worldview really annoys people. But don’t let the naysayers cloud your view of Greenbelt. Come see for yourself.

I wrote this about the “boys have no role” models narrative - there are so many problems for both male and female and much of them lie in underfunding of youth centres, schools and a perilous job market where people are paid the bare minimum

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼
