We were talking about the Last Supper in children’s church (we did Palm Sunday last week so they’d know what was going on today) and one little girl said she was scared for Jesus. Another girl leaned over and whispered, “I’ve heard this story before. He comes back.” I cried.

Another reminder that children’s ministry is not the “easy” one: after teaching in Sunday school today, on Noah’s ark, the first question was: “When they got off the ark, were there lots of dead bodies all over the place?” Guess what every question after that was about.

The idea that America has been systematically racist is an idea entirely compatible with Scripture’s depiction of sin and human communities. But it is entirely incompatible with the story America tells of itself. And a lot of Christians have believed America instead.

It is almost frustratingly repetitive in Scripture: do not fear. So you cannot stoke fear in a godly way. You cannot drum up people's anxieties for the glory of God. Fearmongering on behalf of a "good cause" does not make it right. We should be vigilant about this.

I’m delighted to share the COVER for my new book, out next year with @BrazosPress & available for preorder NOW. I’m terrified & excited for y’all to read it. I firmly believe that thinking historically about the Bible can help us read it faithfully now.

A weary world rejoices - still weary, still wounded, still waiting - but awake to the promise of coming redemption, restoration, and rest.

I need y’all to know that the degree to which these men on the internet obsess over Beth Moore is the degree to which some men in all kinds of churches obsess over any woman in their church with gifts she refuses to hide and a mind she continues to use.

So it turns out that when I finally started attending a church that celebrates Communion every week, I cry every week. Every week.

If you are the person who cannot do small talk, who is always ready to dive into a serious topic, who feels like you’d weigh everyone else down if you talked about the injustice in the world as often as they want to - I love you and I see you and your passion is a gift.

I got to my parents’ house last night for Christmas. They got a package after I got here that they were all giggly and secretive about. This morning they *very dramatically* entered the kitchen…wearing matching @HolyPostPodcast shirts. 🙄

This is your semi-weekly reminder that the noise and wiggles from kids in church are a GIFT and not a problem. Also: if we treat those noises and wiggles as inconvenient distractions to avoid, we won’t just push kids out, but lots of other people made in the image of God.

Just a reminder that "Believe women" does not mean that women always tell the truth so believe everything any woman says. But it does mean that when many credible women are telling you the same story about abuse, and a few powerful men are denying it, BELIEVE THE WOMEN.

It is not gossip to tell the truth about abuse to people who can do something to stop it or to people who need to be protected from it. What an evil lie from the pit of hell dressed up as godliness.
