(He/his) Spent 20 years as a full-time undergrad professor, teaching biblical studies, but since 2018, I’ve been a senior pastor in McLean, VA.

I care about justice issues, equality, reconciliation, pedagogy, and a host of other things

Happy Book Release Day to all who celebrate (and I'd love it if celebrations were widespread). While the book can be found at Amazon and B&N, right now, it's cheaper at the publisher!

I need this. Don't take this from me.

I need a 2 part video series, where Sadiq Khan visits NYC, and he and Zohran Mamdani take the subway to Mets-Willets to watch a Mets game, and talk about hopeful things.

Then in part 2, Zohran visits London. They take the Tube to watch Arsenal play Liverpool.
🔴Sadiq Khan Urges New Yorkers to Reject ‘The Politics of Fear’ and Vote for Zohran Mamdani

EXCLUSIVE: Source close to the London Mayor accuses Mamdani’s political opponents of “weaponising” his Muslim faith in an “uncanny” repeat of Conservative attacks against Khan

I know many of the wonderful people at Firehouse. They constantly look for ways to make this world a better place for everyone.
NEW — Firehouse Community Arts Center, based in North Lawndale, is among many who are providing resources around delays in food assistance just ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Check out this list for more resources.

Can these stones live? — Christian Citizen
Faithful Palestinian Christians too often feel abandoned, or worse, betrayed by Western Christians. They want to be seen by their Christian family, but they feel forgotten.

@thegrizzlylabs.com Love GeniusScan! Unfortunately since a recent update it’s no longer including the file when I try to export to Upnote. All other services (like AppleNotes, Dropbox) all work. But not Upnote. Any thoughts?

I think I'll take a minute and offer thanks to the NFL for helping me better understand the phrase "Bread and Circuses." I'm not proud of it, but I understand it.

It was a powerful Pentecost Witness at the Capitol. Faith leaders + communities gathered in song, prayer, & truth-telling. The work isn’t done—but when people of faith unite, hope rises. Let us continue demanding a moral budget for our nation ✊🏽🙏🏽

Somebody on Mastodon just pointed out that, unlike with tarrifs, you're not seeing a bunch of "This isn't what i voted for" regrets coming from Trump voters about what's going on in L.A.

Take with that what you will.
