Thank you to everyone who attended the panel discussion last night! It was both engaging & illuminating. A special thanks to @jayceeroe, @alliandthejets & @AmPublicSquare for inviting me to be a part of such a great event!
"It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it."

Franklin Graham has doubled down his support for Trump. Even after the attack on the Capitol, he says Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. It’s long past time to stop supporting @SamaritansPurse as long as Franklin is in charge. There are many other great ministries to support.
I believe we need a revolution.
But what happened at the Capitol was not a revolution. That was an uprising of hatred, fear, and white supremacy. What we need is a revolution of love.
I am praying for the United States of America, shaken by the recent attack on Congress. I pray for those who lost their life. Violence is always self-destructive. I urge everyone to promote a culture of encounter and of care to construct the common good.
This is one of the best summaries of free speech and 1st Amendment rights I have seen. Twitter kicked about 3000 extreme nut jobs off their platform in the last 24 hours, so in light of that, it's a little funny too. #TwitterCensorship#TwittersNextBan#TwitterPurge
@ShaneClaiborne@theSimpleWay Grateful for your example of Christ-like community building. I’m just now putting it together that The Simple Way was born the same year I was. ✨
