To say that capitalism is bad is not to say that all markets are bad. It is, among other things, to say that the organization of said markets to make the maximization of profit the goal rather than human flourishing is bad.

Happy Lord’s Day!

Greg Tate and bell hooks within a week of one another. Brilliant humans. Loving theorist. They both wrote blackness as a something to be desired and studied, embraced and empowered, holy and sacred. We have lost so much. Writers, let us remember, be still, and go to the page.

Advent reminds me that in the darkness, where hope is hanging by a thread, where u can barely see light, where it’s hard to maintain perspective - in that place, God joins us and births something new.

“Thts why I love the book of Esther because you can’t preach about it without talking about the impact of policies on people’s lives.”

It’s no longer shocking but still crazy that the people in the church who demand vulnerable and marginalized people to forgive injustice and wrongdoing are also those who never speak truth to the powerful and dominant who perpetuate toxic and dehumanizing narratives.
