Coming March 17, 2026

“The demonic spirit of nationalism has metastasized…a cancer that threatens to kill us all… what makes nationalism so death dealing is its seemingly irresistible tendency towards idolatry…in the name of this idol whole generations are maimed.”

Walter Wink

[Faith & Leadership @faithleadership]

Disinformation and conspiracies thrive because they are storytelling acts, says @jaredstacy the author of “Reality in Ruins” from @HarperOneBooks. What’s needed to combat them is a different story. https://t.co/2bTvU6Kh6a

Some professional news: I’ll be working as a fellow with Interfaith America in the Good Neighbors Fellowship alongside some incredible scholars & leaders addressing the intersection of democracy, hospitality, and Christianity.

This review from @amarpeterman at the @ChristianCent deals directly with the arguments I make in my book, “Reality In Ruins”—a good read!

“The political project of Christian supremacy is a dead end because it seeks to wield death and the powers of hell that Jesus himself disarmed...” @jaredstacy, Reality in Ruins

@brad_duren @factpostnews The same old tired tropes

[Jared Stacy, PhD @jaredstacy]

Authoritarianism always relies on a storied sense that the strongman speaks for “us” to “make things right”

[American Values Coalition @ourvaluesngo]

For now, these words, the history it recounts, the stories it tells, the witness it tries to make to the dispossession that is God’s deliverence—all that is out in the world, for the world. I hope you’ll take it in for yourself.

[Jared Stacy, PhD @jaredstacy]

“Reality In Ruins” is officially out in the world; let’s throw sand in the machine—tell the truth and yes, wait for the truth—disreality be damned.

[Jared Stacy, PhD @jaredstacy]

And yes, I’ve read the @CTmagazine review from @bonniekristian. There may be a time to respond, but not today. Disreality—that lived sense of occupying entirely different realities—rears its head everywhere we go. And it rages with real, lived consequences.

[Jared Stacy, PhD @jaredstacy]

There is no historical moment in American evangelicalism where conspiracy thinking is not at work warping the gospel toward suspicion, fear, and theological paranoia—a mixed portrait of Jesus.
