Another early flight to spend the week advocating with Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (a lead party in the lawsuit against the EO allowing ICE agents to raid houses of worship) in #DC Wanna bet my two #texas senators will send an aide rather than meet with me 😜? #resistance #democracy #goodtrouble

Just started the new book by @katherinestewart.bsky.social and keep making notes like “WTF” in the margins. I read everything that comes out on #christiannationalism and MONEY LIES AND GOD is doing a nice job of tying some things together for me. #books

I just submitted my latest article to @baptistnews.com on the hostile takeover of #KennedyCenter by #Trump and how it follows the playbook for #fascist governments. And just ordered this #book to read at the suggestion of @cmonstah.bsky.social of @washingtonpost.com

I wrote a cheeky little opinion piece for @baptistnews.com about becoming Baptist in the historic #Anabaptist #Baptist tradition and how we should all start referring to the Southern Baptists as BINOs. 🤣 #stirringthepot #hornetsnest baptistnews.com/article/a-ne...
