God did not give us this land. We took it, in God’s name, perpetrating great evil on those whose land it was. As we celebrate our freedom, may we not forget those we took it from in order to have it. 🇺🇸🇺🇸💔🇺🇸🇺🇸

I was alerted that some pastor out there is demanding I answer for why abuse occurs in egalitarian spaces too (instead of just complementarian). I must have the guy muted bc I don't have any notifications from him (I was just sent the screenshot). But I'll answer.

There is a difference between understanding the good news of the Bible and understanding the socio-cultural context that frames the biblical world which informs the historical interpretation of text.

Gun violence in our country is a terrifying reality. I remember Columbine, which was such a shocking & novel event. Now mass shootings are a regular part of our national narrative. This should not be a "normal" part of life. #michiganstate #stopgunviolence

Textbook case of how abuse thrives in churches like John MacArthur's--how it's so hard to hold leaders accountable & change course: "He tried to convince the church’s leaders to reconsider & at least privately make it right. He said pastor John MacArthur told him to “forget it.”

A statistic to ponder: In the last 2 years, "the richest 1% have captured almost two-thirds of all new wealth – nearly twice as much money as the bottom 99% of the world’s population." oxfam.org/en/research/su…

Hold on: House Republicans want a national 30% sales tax on everything from groceries to gasoline? They want to raise taxes on working-class & middle-class families while slashing them for millionaires & billionaires? Are they TRYING to show exactly how out of touch they are?

Today, Republicans in Congress demonstrated their commitment to “fiscal responsibility.” The first bill advanced by the GOP adds $114 billion to the deficit — by allowing the super wealthy to cheat their taxes while everyone else pays. Corporate lobbyists are popping champagne.

Watched this documentary yesterday & was absolutely blown away by the fortitude & restraint of the capitol police who put their lives on the line to defend our democracy. This was NOT a peaceful protest. youtu.be/KHQ6FoDjeDE

It's impossible to be devoted to the Jesus of the Scriptures, while refusing refugees, expelling immigrants, demonizing Muslims, vilifying people of color, worshiping political power, and neglecting the poor. johnpavlovitz.com/2018/02/13/chr…

Fundamentalists often warn against egalitarianism using the slippery slope argument. Let's turn that around and see the slippery slope in the other direction! bit.ly/3xOcmzM

I have a feeling there’s going to be a ton of little girls named Junia running around in the next few years, because of all the Christian women who finally realized they could be feminists because of the Bible and not in spite of it and I am HERE FOR IT.
