So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

When Al Mohler, president of a Southern Baptist seminary, claims that women prioritizing their own happiness over marriage is bad, he's sacrificing women's safety for men's comfort.

And so often, our evangelical advice around marriage and sex does just that.

Men's Comfort vs. Women's Safety: Why Evangelicals Need Nuance - Bare Marriage
Too often evangelicals make rules that prioritize men's comfort over women's safety. We need to assess collateral damage with nuance.

Saw a reel on Matt Chandler's channel today with a woman saying how encouraging it was when pastors encourage women and give them "permission" to lead.

Just want to say--women, you don't need a man's permission to do what God has called you to do.

Yes. Empathy is strength in action!

"Empathy is not weak or "woke." And, by the way, "woke" just means you give a damn about other people."

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers.

Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

Doug Wilson is a wolf, and people need to be warned about him.

I'm featured in the latest Sons of Patriarchy podcast, talking about how his teachings enable abuse and marital rape:

Okay, who is the one being selfish here?

So the husband wakes up early in the morning and wakes his wife up for sex, and she's the selfish one if she says she's still tired?

Over the years I’ve struggled to describe the mind of Donald Trump. But, for the moment, I think the best way to think about what passes for his thought-process is to think of a bag of ferrets and scorpions.

Knowledge is Power.
You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

In the end, as on January 6, we stand together. Many remained silent. Others, while claiming to support the rule of law, lie about our actions, service, and sacrifices. No matter how much they try, they can’t erase history.
