Issues matter because people matter, and issues affect people.

But this election was about more than disagreeing on issues. I disagree with Trump and Harris on certain issues.

This election was about principalities and powers - racism, patriarchy, xenophobia.

This is not just about Trump. Certainly he has unleashed some of our worst demons. But this is bigger than one man. It is about spiritual and systemic powers that seek to harm some of our most vulnerable neighbors.

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

This election was about what kind of country we are and what kind of country we want to be.

So today we grieve. But tomorrow we organize.

We cannot stop believing in a better world. We cannot stop dreaming, and laughing, marching, and singing.

Hard days are no doubt ahead of us… but we have each other. And we have a God who is always near to those who feel crushed, beaten down, dishonored, dehumanized.

And no matter how much our opponents hate us, we will still choose love. We cannot give them the power to make us hate.

No matter how many times they put us in jail or threaten our lives or try to deport our neighbors, we will still love them, even as we resist their bigotry.

We will wear them down with our love. Let us not forget, we are also fighting for them. We are working for the day that all of us are free from hatred and fear and the thirst for power.

When love wins, there are no losers.

We got this.

@mattnightingale Holding on to hope, but I feel you.

@DerekMYoung It can’t be your personal hell because we’ll all be there with you.

[Dan Whitmarsh @danwhitmarsh]

@RealJackHibbs Bonhoeffer never said that. It’s a fake quote.

[Dan Whitmarsh @danwhitmarsh]

@benshapiro So they should just let him spew lies?

[Dan Whitmarsh @danwhitmarsh]

@charliekirk11 Maybe if your guy could make a coherent point without lying, they’d stop fact-checking him.

The culmination of a lot of work and a few dreams: I’m excited to announce the opening of my mental health counseling practice in Gig Harbor. Check out my website and please send people my way if you think I can help.

@mattnightingale Who was it who said we become what we worship? If one worships an angry and vengeful god, it makes sense that one would find meaning in also being angry and vengeful.

[Dan Whitmarsh @danwhitmarsh]

@mattnightingale @LChas22 @JoelWBerry It’s almost like these guys don’t think a woman has agency but is only doing what her husband told her to do. I wonder why that is?

[Dan Whitmarsh @danwhitmarsh]

@mattnightingale He was just up here in Seattle. I recently suggested maybe he not come and he responded with some unkind remarks. Kind of a narcissist, that one.

[Dan Whitmarsh @danwhitmarsh]

@edstetzer Thank you! I will let our prayer ministry team know. This will encourage them greatly.

@VoteForAdison Were you hanging out with Darin or just blowing by him on the race course?

@Franklin_Graham @realDonaldTrump I’m glad that your prayers were answered in this instance.

[Dan Whitmarsh @danwhitmarsh]

@ericmetaxas No, the lowest point was when millions of Americans fell for this con man’s shill and made him president.

@HawleyMO Hey Josh, I noticed your bio starts with "Christian" but you're bearing false witness here. Can you please repent before it's too late?
