Which is why sexual abuse is rampant among evangelicals. It’s also why the cover-up is effective
Who is going to go against the person who can condemn you to hell?

Never mistake kindness for weakness. Every act of kindness in 2025 is a refusal to let the terrible choices of powerful people define us. A refusal to bow to their vision, where your only two choices are Fight Me or Surrender.
It is the courage to remind them of their occasional irrelevance.

Right now, some Utah legislators want to ban Utah schools from working with Planned Parenthood for health education programs.

If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, and the elderly on social security they paid into to be called a “parasite,” all while billionaires get richer, we’ve profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus’ teachings.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.
Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.
Say equity, which a just society should pursue.
Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.
