#WhoWillBeAWitness Releases September 1st.

Mainstream Christians gonna go to church this morning looking for Jesus and get a partisan TED talk, a smoke machine concert, and bad coffee. But genuine disciples will encounter Jesus by breaking bread, loving the vulnerable, and flipping tables of injustice. #MakingItPlain

Excited to share that @peteenns will interview me at my Making It Plain book launch on Sept 6 @ 6PM at @MidtownScholar! In-person or livestream, just make sure you register to join us as we dig into Jesus & decolonizing discipleship: midtownscholar.com/calendar/2025/… #MakingItPlain

Let’s stop pretending Christianity ain’t been used to justify some of the worst violence and oppression out here. Making It Plain exposes how the faith got hijacked and lifts up the ones trying to live a more Jesus-shaped way. Preorder: heraldpress.com/9781513816364/… #MakingItPlain

I watched Superman a couple nights ago. Some of y’all loved it, others thought it was boring. I’m somewhere in the middle. An interesting take, solid direction for DC, but no strong feelings either way. Curious why such different responses from people. Is it just expectations?

Got to catch the brilliant and hilarious @joshjohnsoncomedy live in Philly. He had the whole room in his palms! 🔥😂 Even cooler, I got to meet him after the show. Grateful for his wit, insight, and storytelling. #JoshJohnson Philly #flowerstour #ComedyNight #JoyAsResistance

The Black Church + Anabaptism shaped my journey toward a more subversive, Jesus-shaped faith. 📘 Making It Plain drops Sept 2—preorder now: Herald Press: heraldpress.com/9781513816364/… Amazon: amazon.com/dp/1513816349 #MakingItPlain #FaithAndJustice

Honored to recently receive the Revelation 7:9 Award from the Intercultural Ministries office of the Church of the Brethren, recognizing my efforts in racial justice education and activism. Though I couldn’t be there in person, I’m grateful my pastor accepted it on my behalf.

This Republican megabill is a moral disgrace. -Tax breaks for the rich -More money for the military industrial complex & ICE -Cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and clean energy, with billions stripped from the most vulnerable Yet greed is fully funded. Jesus flipped tables for less.

Jesus said blessed are the poor & woe to you who are rich. White Christians reversed that Jubilee ethic & seek to maximize the suffering of the most vulnerable by taking what little they have left away. "the more you abound in wealth, the more you lack in love" -Basil, 4th cent.

Drumpf is so impulse and ego driven. He probably did it to appear tough. His insecurities are putting lives at risk.

If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you.

Too many folks are getting duped by obvious nonsense, so what happens when the lies get slicker? AI voice and image tools are already blurring the line between fact and fiction. We need more skepticism. Pause before sharing. Check sources. Don’t fall for vibes over evidence.

Just hearing of Walter Brueggemann’s passing. The Prophetic Imagination deeply shaped my faith as an undergrad, opening me to Scripture’s radical, poetic witness against empire. He’ll be missed, but his prophetic words live on.

Spoke in Laurel, MD, this weekend as plenary speaker at a racial justice conference—preached on Jesus, the Doctrine of Discovery, and grassroots change. Shared all my books, incl. a teaser of Making It Plain. Grateful for the convo, panel, and reconnections. #FaithAndJustice

We have had many racist presidents in the past. Trump joins a long line of white supremacist administrations. But name a more corrupt president than Trump? You can't. He makes Richard Nixon, Warren Harding, and Andrew Jackson blush.

Had the pleasure of being in conversation with Dr. @ibramxk at @MidtownScholar about his powerful new book Malcolm Lives. Grateful for the depth, clarity, and urgency he brought to the legacy of Malcolm X. #MalcolmLives #MidtownScholar #BlackLiberation #BookTalk #Harrisburg

God raised Jesus from the dead—so we rise too, with power to love, to liberate, and to live in new creation! Happy Easter!
