@megannlively I loved this book so much!

[amy wainright @WainrightAmy]

@Franklin_Graham @realDonaldTrump You really have lost all credibility after posting this nonsense

[amy wainright @WainrightAmy]

@CarsonWeitnauer The irony is that if Obama or Biden had posted this she’d be losing her mind over it! It’s so ridiculous at this point what she and so many others are willing to downplay and excuse

[amy wainright @WainrightAmy]

@conservmillen Seriously? If Obama had posted this you would’ve lost your mind over it! Do better, Allie.

@DerwinLGray I live in a small town of northeast Florida A friend’s husband came home shocked one day after riding around with a local pastor who used the N-word repeatedly without reservation It’s so appalling to me that a so called “pastor” would speak that way!

[amy wainright @WainrightAmy]

So thankful for your consistent dedication to Jesus!!

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

I share this post in earnest and (what may prove a naive) hope that a few people caught in the situation I’m about to describe will hear instead of rushing to the usual tropes, criticisms and caricatures. For what it’s worth, I offer this in good faith.

Between 2016 and 2022, I faced a test of the genuineness of my faith so large and consequential, I’m almost at a loss to think of the right adjectives to describe it. It might not have been so big to someone else but it involved so much of my Christian identity, it was all but existential. Well more than that. It was a dying.

It is this test that helps me understand why people who seem deeply devoted to the Lord Jesus and hold the scriptures in highest esteem also hold to a system, institution or leader no matter what they do and defend a side or individual to a degree that is baffling.

I can tell you why because I had to face every bit of it. Identity, community, camaraderie, what we’ve known and loved, what part of it we still love, the people we loved, the people we still love, reputation, what people will think, how you will be judged and condemned and thrown over to the other side who doesn’t want you either. And to whom you also do not align and would not belong. Friendships. How you will be misunderstood and misrepresented. How adrift and alone you will feel. How disliked.

And then there’s this and it would be a mistake to minimize it: your JOB. Your source of income. Your vocation.

This is the part of the crisis I most write these words to convey because I think they are most in play for many right now, whether in media, ministry or politics.

Let me try to put this in the words that were constantly resonant in my spirit in those years. And to this day.

Though you have no other place to go, Beth, and no place to fit and it not only MAY have financial repercussions but WILL have financial repercussions to the ministry and to your family and will also make them targets and none of it will ever look the same or be the same, will you choose what you believe to be right and put everything else in your vocational life at risk?

This is what is at risk for many people whose professional reputations and positions are tied up with leaders, institutions and political parties. Mine was, too. The cost is enormous and the options are often untenable. And so there we are.

Having to cast ourselves on the mercy of God. Not for a third way. But as THE ONLY WAY. The only truth. The only life.

I’ve made multiple errors in judgment. Jumped too quickly to condemn. Spoken wrongly. Remained silent wrongly and confusingly. I never get it completely together.

But what I will tell you is that I believe we are meant first and foremost to call out our own house, our own side, and our own identity group for its mind-boggling hypocrisy. These were my people. Evangelicals. Conservatives.

Claim what you will but I know who I am:

I am pro life from conception to casket.
I am pro small government.
I am pro godliness and the pursuit of a holy life.
I am pro marriage and family and pro-those God calls to remain single and sanctified and I’m deeply thankful for them.
I am pro traditional sexual ethics.
I am pro love of God and love of neighbor and the dignity of every person as an image bearer of Christ.
I am pro love all.
I am pro church. I believe in the community of the saints.
I am pro Bible study to the death and believe the aim of all discipleship is to know and love and follow and emulate Jesus Christ.
I am pro gospel. Dear God in heaven, I am pro gospel. I believe there is one name by whom we must be saved. Jesus.

What I am not is pro Trump.

Wasn’t pro Clinton. Wasn’t pro Biden. But those were not the candidates many in the world that I loved so much were cheering on.

I accept that Donald Trump is my president. I pray for him on a regular basis. I’m a law abiding citizen and pay my taxes. But I believe Trump fosters something in people that makes them lose their way.

@JayMallow3 @JenniferEValent He’s such a petulant narcissistic misogynist! She deserves a medal for remaining so calm and professional!

[amy wainright @WainrightAmy]

Lordy, I long for this day as well!!

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

I long for a day when the United States has a president who, just for starters, not to even get into more serious matters, is not older than Methuselah and does not sound like a 13 year-old on TikTok talking about middle school classmates. I don’t think this is too much to ask. And do not say to me, I guess you wish we had so-and-so and think what they’d do. We don’t have so-and-so. We have this one. And I don’t think it makes me woke to wish he acted like a grown-up.

[amy wainright @WainrightAmy]

@BethMooreLPM Lordy, I long for that day as well!!

Please take the time to listen to Tiffany’s story and let the reality of what happened to her sink in The men who should have protected her not only failed miserably but they did so willingly to prop up their rising star “prodigy preacher”.

[Tiffany Thigpen @ThigpenTiffany]

You can listen to my story, a more extensive interview, here. Including an interview with Rob Downen and with Carolyn McCulley narrating, followed by a helpful Counselors perspective as a summary.

[amy wainright @WainrightAmy]

@ThigpenTiffany My husband & I listened to your interview yesterday. It’s so infuriating that PP & JV would allow DG to continue to have access & position to abuse the flock! Those men are so pathetic & will never take responsibility for what their decisions allowed! I am so sorry, Tiffany!

[Russell Moore @drmoore]

How this vile, disgusting, and immoral behavior has become normalized in the United States is something our descendants will study in school, to the shame of our generation.

This short article was 😭❤️

Was not prepared for this one 😭

“There are many reasons to object to the policies that the Trump administration’s videos and memes showcase. Yet the images themselves also inflict wounds, of the kind that Alypius suffered when he raised his eyelids.”

[Diane Langberg, PhD @DianeLangberg]

We are not called to protect our institutions, nor do we protect the God of truth by covering up sin and/or a crime. To do so is to “protect” a cancer—and cancer kills. We honor God by caring for the wounded and by dragging sin to the light and calling it by its right name.

[amy wainright @WainrightAmy]

@KSPrior Beautiful! 🤩

[amy wainright @WainrightAmy]

@KSPrior So true!

[Holy Post Media @HolyPost_Media]

Resist cynicism! Faithful Christians are out there - find them, or be one for others to find.

@GavinNewsom DJT and MTG have both lost their minds! Mail in voting is one of the best ways for many to be able to cast their votes easily. My husband and I have been using mail in ballots for many years now along with my parents who are in their 70's.

[amy wainright @WainrightAmy]

@R_Denhollander Thanks for sharing this! I just downloaded it and look forward to reading this and learning.
