I'm buying a lot less from Amazon these days but have to admit that these are pretty great prices for the hardcover, ebook, and audiobook of @weshill.bsky.social's book on Easter.

I’ve supported World Relief for years and encourage you to do the same. I know some of their staff and I believe they’re doing good work.
If you want to know how to help, it's money. The resettlement orgs will continue to do the work (or at least World Relief will) if they have the funds to be able to.

“The US government” does not in fact have the legal right to do this. The wording in the constitution is extremely clear on this question. It is our obligation to say that, each and every day.
Breaking news: The U.S. government will no longer recognize the citizenship of children born in the United States to immigrants who lack legal status, one of 10 immigration-related executive orders President-elect Donald Trump plans to sign Monday, an incoming administration official told reporters.
Trump executive order will attempt to end birthright citizenship
The incoming president plans to take at least 10 actions related to the border or immigration, including ramping up deportations and suspending refugee resettlement.

I’m currently teaching a 3wk series on the Life of Jesus at Crossroads Bible Church in Grand Rapids (all are welcome!), and I’ve been rereading this book in prep. It is a true gem.

I hope to say more about Richard Hays soon (and about his new book on sexuality). But for now I just want to note my deep and abiding gratitude. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

Hard to choose a favorite read of the year but @elizabetholdfield.bsky.social’s *Fully Alive* is a strong contender, as is Sarah Hinlicky Wilson’s *Seven Ways of Looking at the Transfiguration*.
