Deconstructing With Jesus
Deconstructing harmful doctrines and theology while embracing the person and work of Jesus, and building a loving, inclusive community of Jesus-followers.

This is my blog where I write about deconstructing while holding on to my faith in Jesus.

This year, I found myself longing for an Advent devotional relevant to deconstruction. Since I couldn’t find anything that fit, I decided to create something here: wayoflove.substack.com/p/hope-risin...

Donald Trump and @jd-vance-1.bsky.social's refusal to provide SNAP benefits to Americans in need isn't just illegal — it's immoral.

This holiday, my table holds both laughter and grief. I’ve left behind rigid beliefs and chosen a path of unconditional welcome. I’m making room for healing and belonging. If you’re in a similar place, there’s space for you. There’s hope.

Opinion | Trump Aid Cuts Kill More Christians Than Jihadists Do
Murderous attacks on Christians and Muslims alike are a real problem in Nigeria. Cutting humanitarian assistance there is even more lethal.

LA DODGERS just now:
“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”
Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.

It is firmly in the “somebody’s making an active decision to downplay this” territory.
I count 49 news headlines on the NYT mobile app home page right now, not including opinion, sports or cooking. None of them are about the massive protests yesterday.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!
Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions
Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

Christianity does not look like praying, singing, and giving money while ignoring the screams, unspeakable suffering, filth, and death of others. Christianity is not calling others *them*—somehow unlike us, not human, and deserving of their suffering.

After reading the report about TNE/Tim Whitaker, I am profoundly troubled, especially by the behavior of @drlauraeanderson.bsky.social, co-founder of the Religious Trauma Institute. Her behavior was abusive and exactly what you see when churches try to bully victims into recanting their accusations.

I’m convinced American exceptionalism is a big part of what made us vulnerable to Trump. We’re so used to thinking of ourselves as the Special Freedom Country that a lot of people find it inconceivable we could rapidly collapse into shabby despotism even as they watch it happen.
Real talk. I’ve lost all belief in American exceptionalism. There is no secret Liberty Sauce that makes us inherently better. We’re just human beings (derogatory). But it also means we’re human beings (laudatory), so I refuse to believe Republicans won politics forever and can rule as god kings.
