So much of American Christianity has lost its grasp on the gospel of Jesus to the extent that when you say “welcome the immigrant,��� “feed the hungry,” and “help the poor,” you get condemned for being “liberal” rather than simply identified as a follower of Jesus.
BIG NEWS: We have all the signatures we need to get on the ballot in every state! This incredible achievement happened because of our more than 100,000 extraordinary volunteers. Their commitment, their heart, and their tireless devotion made this possible - and fuels our grassroots movement each and every day.
The work that Team Kennedy’s volunteers do across this country is the most inspiring and heartening thing I’ve seen in my lifetime. I truly mean that.
Each and every one of you: thank you.

Trump and Biden should do a joint presser in coming days. Unite the country, remind people this is an election not a war, call for civility. Would be politically good for both of them, would be existentially necessary for the country. 🙏🏻🇺🇸
This is a tragic day. We must be honest and acknowledge (with deep regret) that shootings are a common method of conflict resolution in our society. And that there seems to be a confounding disregard for the ubiquity of gun violence. I’m relieved that Mr. Trump wasn’t severely injured, and I hope that he and the attendees seek emotional help to ease the trauma they experienced. My thoughts and prayers go out to the innocent victims of this senseless act.
I believe that we can be better. We need to be better… but at some point, shootings stopped being shocking - and that is what’s shocking.
Dear Christian,
One of the biggest things that destroys your credibility is when you take an unflinchingly ridged stance towards the “sins” of your fellow citizens but then claim the “system is rigged” when your preferred presidential candidate is held accountable for his sins.
Happy Pride month, y’all!
If you aren’t familiar with Pride, it is simply a declaration and celebration of the dignity, equality, and brilliance of LGBTQ+ folks.
In the church world, celebrating Pride can be controversial, but I really don’t think it should be. Declaring the equality of all people and celebrating the unique ways we all embody God’s image shouldn’t be controversial at all.
But for me, Pride isn’t only about broad support of the LGBTQ+ community. Pride is also about my friends—many of whom are a part of our church family at Restore. It’s about people I deeply love who have been severely harmed at the hands of Christians and churches.
You see, my friends have stories. Stories that some of you wouldn’t believe. Stories of being condemned to hell, being called “abominations,” being disowned by their families, attempting suicide, and even tortured and abused through conversion therapy attempts.
LGBTQ+ exclusion and marginalization has caused immeasurable harm to queer folks, but it has also really messed up the church. Because when we exclude people God told us to include, we miss out on the gifts and talents they bring. We miss out on the unique ways in which they bear God’s image and express the fruit of the Spirit.
I can tell you firsthand just how much more Christlike love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control our community embodies because of the LGBTQ+ folks who pastor, preach, and lead at our church. I am so grateful to lead alongside them ❤️🏳️🌈
Trump in 2016: “She shouldn’t be allowed to run...If she wins, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. In that situation, we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and, ultimately, a criminal trial. It would grind government to a halt.”
Joe Biden did not convict Donald Trump.
The Democratic Party did not convict Donald Trump.
No politician convicted Donald Trump.
A jury of regular everyday citizens who didn’t ask for the job reviewed the evidence and convicted Donald Trump.
When I was a kid, my Southern Baptist pastor overheard me say, “oh my god” after I stubbed my toe on a church pew. He grabbed my arm, pulled me toward him and sternly told me that “taking the Lord’s name in vain” is a serious sin on par with murder, adultery and the other 10 Commandments.
This morning, that very same pastor posted this meme.
“Taking the Lord’s name in vain” isn’t about saying “oh my god” when you’re frustrated. It’s about using Jesus to justify wickedness.
