To everyone who claims to support the 2nd Amendment, the White House has made it clear that simply possessing a firearm you’re legally allowed to carry is enough to be considered a deadly threat by ICE.

This is a direct infringement of 2A but y’all are REAL silent right now.

This week at Revolution Church we look at the Linking Park song “One More Light” and the verse “Jesus Wept” as we question our own responses to this unique and awful moment in history.

If your church is not taking a firm stance against the actions of the ICE and the Trump Administration, they have chosen political neutrality over the teachings of the Bible. They are not a place you should trust.

This week at Revolution Church we address God’s views on immigrants in light of our current historical moment. We look not only at the sinful actions of ICE but question our own actions or inaction.

First they came for the Immigrants
And I did not speak out
Because I was not an Immigrant
Then they came for the Trangender
And I did not speak out
Because I was not Transgender
Then they came for the Democratic Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Democratic Socialist

This week at Revolution Church we address Epiphany and the story of the Magi, while pointing out an element central to the story, civil disobedience. We address the current state of the world and how we can best walk in it with both care for ourselves and others.

Just survived the worst time frame of the year for my trauma, and then on Boxing Day night I throw out my back.

Will the hits stop coming?

There has been a broad tradition of Jewish authors who have written books critical of Israel's treatment of Palestinians. I hope this helps.

The idea of launching a Church as a progressive pastor is daunting. Without the financial powerhouses of either the mainline denominations or the evangelical conservative church launching machines, how do we even get the funding to launch?

The latest post is looking at love in the context of community and how the decline of the Church is because we've shrunk our definitions of community.

@sea-ya-later.bsky.social I never realized how much I needed to hear God apologize. Thanks for these early morning tears.

This week at Revolution Church we are talking about destructive neutrality and inaction. The times when our decision to do nothing in the face of evil is as destructive as doing the wrong thing. We look at Matthew 5.
