I went back to find this post, because it was several years ago that I first experienced the supposed "new" evangelicals, and it was not a good experience.

I am disheartened they stayed on the same path and caused more harm.

If you think the way the most powerful men treat their partners and families isn’t important, you’ve already fallen for their manipulation. The violence at home is part and parcel of their abuse of power

The Atlantic's latest cover story is out now and it is fascinating. @yappelbaum.bsky.social on why Americans stopped moving—and why that's a much bigger deal than you might realize: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
How Progressives Froze the American Dream
The U.S. was once the world’s most geographically mobile society. Now we’re stuck in place—and that’s a very big problem.

Friends, I got to interview @latashamorrison.bsky.social about her book. I enjoyed the conversation, and I hope you'll give it a listen:

Composure, Saints! This is a vital witness to our faith in Christ in any era of chaos.

Upon waking, let us meet with Jesus and trade our fear & anger for his courage & compassion.

Rely on God.
Read Scripture.
Be brave.
Pray valiantly.
Act like grownups.
Help the hurting.
Love defiantly.

The lack of critical thinking in evangelical Christianity is increasingly startling. There are large pockets of people who have fused to a specific, cynical (nihilistic?) narrative and interpret everything through that lens.
Lord, have mercy.

It started with the subjugation of another race, and it continues in its abuse of women and children. It needs to be dissolved. #FleeSBC

Too many Americans are consumed by violence and conspiracy fantasies. It is alarming.
