Lover, Father, Trauma Therapist. Out now: THE SEX TALK YOU NEVER GOT @Nelsonbooks. I @CrossFit, but not like that.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

In the wake of the #metoo movement, I sat with the rest of the world troubled by the amount  of harm done in the name of male sexuality. From outright sexual violence to the almost universal stories of women enduring daily catcalls.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@ryanvisconti This is one million percent spiritual abuse.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@forestfrank @3xTrumper Bro, no, that ain't it. One day, I hope you will see.

@SpeakerJohnson It's clear you did not listen to the American people and our concern over the lawless tactics of ICE and DHS. They are proposing reasonable and essential reforms for ICE.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@RepJeffCrank You are not listening. Americans DO NOT trust DHS. The proposals for ICE agents to wear body cameras, remove masks, gather warrants, and get better training is exactly what you should be supporting.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@RepJeffCrank @DHSgov What they are asking for is very, very reasonable. And you should compromise with them. Simple.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@RepJeffCrank You just abdicated your vote to a madman. And I don't think you care one bit.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@RepJeffCrank What should matter more to you is the unlawful declaration of war by our president. You are passively laying down your vote. That is an abdication of your duties. I live in your district.

@alisa_childers @PhilMiller2911 But the writer of 2 Samuel puts Amnon raping Tamar literally right after the story of David and Bathsheba. A strong textual case can be made the writer did this to make a point. The sins of the father being passed down... David's inaction against Amnon screams.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@MBurtwrites @soli_Jesum Exactly! Well said.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@MBurtwrites @soli_Jesum Agreed, Marissa. Also, it's very possible she did try to resist to no avail, much like how Tamar pleaded with Amnon. And David's inaction on Amnon raping Tamar can imply the sins of the father being passed down. Amnon did evil in the eyes of the Lord just like his father.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@alisa_childers "Slept with her" entirely changes not just the narrative outcome but its entire tone. It's a story of sexual assault not mutual desire. Do you mean, what would have happened if she succeeded in her assault?

Also, it's very possible Bathsheba resisted just the same to no avail.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@TylerLeeConway Spot on. Really good work here.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@alisa_childers @conservmillen There is no such thing as toxic empathy. It's any oxymoron, like dry rain or warm snow. Just like you can't have too much love. If its too much, its become something else. You can't have too much empathy. If it's toxic, it's something else, most often codependency or enmeshment.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@conservmillen It's no longer empathy once it does the things you say it does. I think that's the point and it's spot on. Toxic empathy is like "dry rain" or "warm snow" or "too much love." It's an oxymoron. It just doesn't exist.

Politics cleave in half so many virtues meant to be whole

Christian lovers of justice for the vulnerable: might there be room for unborn children?

Christian lovers of life for the unborn: might there be room for other vulnerable people losing their lives to preventable death?

Thankful Jesus offers love & life to all. #Life&Justice

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@loswhit Kendrick still has my vote. That was so good last year. But this year's stage and story did it solid.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@BethMooreLPM I so deeply appreciate your moral courage. True courage. It’s inspiring and a gift to so many including myself in deep ways. The madness that is the spell of this man is wild beyond measure. Let us all be the called out ones, given to Jesus.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@dmichaelclary You believe it's more probable that a staffer posted this by accident at 11:44 pm than that a racist president (who called Somali immigrants "low IQ" two weeks ago) posted a racist video? And you think we are gullible?

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

@MikeCosper Also, calling Somali immigrants "low IQ"

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

We all saw what we saw and it was rotten racism to its core. But I guess "intern" is what our president has decided to call the racism in his heart.

You can be a person of moral courage and root out your sins. Or you can give them nicknames.

We all get to choose.
