“Black Lives Matter is a theological statement….It doesn’t mean only Black Lives Matter. It means Black Lives Matter too.” May it be so. @JemarTisby @bethallisonbarr @TruettSeminary @BaylorProud #racism #racisminthechurch #church #racialjustice #reconciliation #justice
Exhibits on slavery and America's conquest of indigenous people are not "woke" talking points. They are actual factual history. I'm sorry if these facts make you uncomfortable. nytimes.com/2025/07/22/cli…
What a joy to watch Hook in the @ParamountAustin and then hear my old friend @jvhart @TheHartChart talk about the movie, his family, Spielberg, and his friendships with Bob Hoskins, David Crosby, and the wondrous Robin Williams. I laughed, I cried, I crowed. @austinfilmfest
🗣️A word from my mother about a few of the many forms of violence: “Starving a child is violence. Suppressing a culture is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and child is violence. Discriminating against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing…
When @jamestalarico went on @joerogan @joeroganexperience to talk politics and religion, he told Joe that since Jesus didn’t see fit to talk about what we call LGBTQ issues, why do so many Christians make it a defining element of faith? @iamepiscopalian #love #justice #theology
I’ve been a fan of @jamestalarico for quite some time and man oh man, did he absolutely kill this interview on Rogan. This is the way friends. This is the way.
WATCH: “If being anti-gay was really central to Jesus’ ministry I’d think he would’ve said something about it.” TX Rep @jamestalarico, grandson of a Baptist preacher, talks to Rogan about Republicans politicizing Christianity, and why government forcing religion on us is wrong.
My mom used to tell me that people would judge me on the company I keep. I think she wanted me to stay away from people who smoke, drank, and danced. Maybe also from Catholics. But I'm also pretty sure she would have said that being buds with pedophiles would leave a stain.
Chris Hays: “I’m dead tired of hearing people repeat that excluding LGBTQ people from full participation in the church (or any other rights and privileges) is the ‘biblical position.’ It’s not.” @baptist_news @Baylor @BaylorProud baptistnews.com/article/in-con…
In a few weeks Sophie will have her license and Lily will be off to @RiceUniversity. But this week they’re here and I’m here, and I am #grateful. Thank you, girls. When you smile, you knock me out. I fall apart. And I thought I was so smart. 😂 @HamiltonMusical #daughters #dad
OT scholar Chris Hays co-wrote The Widening of God's Mercy. He said: "I'm dead tired of hearing people repeat that excluding LGBTQ people from full participation in the church (or any other rights and privileges) is the 'biblical position.' It's not." @baptist_news @BaylorProud
So grateful for this dialogue with @kevinmyoung about the Bible, Faith, and social media for @baptist_news @BaylorProud @amcathparis @iamepiscopalian #grace #deconstruction #justice #resistance #canontheologian baptistnews.com/article/in-con…
“All the stolen voices will one day be returned.” May it be so. @U2 @amcathparis @iamepiscopalian @BaylorProud
The Christ we meet in the New Testament has no interest in drawing up simplistic and arbitrary lines as to who is in the kingdom or not. He is interested in reaching those who have been labeled “unclean” by polite society and showing them that they are loved and precious to him.…
Bonne Fête Nationale to all who love France, and to those who I love @amcathparis! Viva La France!!
You'll have to speak louder, oh Homeland Security social media intern, I can't hear you over the sound of the unbearable irony...
Desecrating American soil by waving a foreign flag in defiance of our law enforcement is an OUTRAGE. We will relentlessly pursue our mission to deport criminal illegal aliens and restore America’s sovereignty.
Amazing film. Great documentary. I wish I were teaching film @Baylor this fall—I’d teach Jaws, Schindler’s List, and Saving Private Ryan. Good v evil, heroism, and going home. Great and powerful themes.
Guys, I’m starting to think all of Trump’s talk about protecting young women was insincere.
Faithful Christians regard this issue differently. I don't know @chipgaines, but I know what it's like to be attacked by fellow followers. If you're one of those who would rather hate than believe that there is ample room at the foot of the cross, that's not on Chip. It's on you.
Talk, ask qustns, listen.. maybe even learn. Too much to ask of modern American Christian culture. Judge 1st, understand later/never It’s a sad sunday when “non believers” have never been confronted with hate or vitriol until they are introduced to a modern American Christian💔
Is @TheBearFX the best show on TV? Maybe. Broken characters trying to learn, love, do better. Amazing performances from @EbonMossB, @ayoedibiri, Jeremy Allen White, Jamie Lee Curtis, Liza Colon-Zayas. I have been broken, and I have been loved. Love is better. @DavidBianculli @NPR
When the far right media comes for me, my colleagues, or @Baylor? I can only say: I serve the Jesus who said “If you’ve loved the least of these, you’ve loved me.” Grateful for this grant that will help us love better. christianpost.com/news/baylor-un… #church #GodIsLove @BaylorProud
Ask Mr. Metaxas some time how Dietrich Bonhoeffer was transformed by his time in Harlem and his pilgrimage with the Black Church. How he learned that Jesus stands with the pushed aside, not the powerful. How that faith animated all he did @iamepiscopalian christianpost.com/news/eric-meta…
