You know what radicalized me into a leftist socialist progressive? Jesus. It was Jesus.

I only popped on here to ask: Did @Hinchtown just tell us to send questions on Twitter? What’s that? @bluesky is where it’s at now.

Shame on @citizensenergy for replacing the “Home of the Flashes” water tower in Franklin Township with corporate branding.

Republicans love to say they’re the party of Jesus. They’re just so dumb they can’t spell Judas.

Many pulpits will be silent this week about what’s going on. It will be framed as neutrality, but silence in the face of injustice is complicity. The teaching of Jesus is to love boldly, pursue justice, and stand for the marginalized. Anything less is a disregard of that call.

Dante’s Inferno gave us a Hell that looks something like this picture. But what if it’s wrong? What if Hell isn’t even found in the Bible? What if this idea actually leads us away from God? If you have questions about Hell, you won’t want to miss this week @wearesoutheast.

I just watched a sermon where a pastor said the church welcomes everyone and then proceeded to tie the story of Sodom and Gomorrah to the modern day understanding of same sex relationships. My dude, please stop. You do not, in fact, welcome everyone. You’re not safe.

Fundamentalism, not deconstruction, is the single greatest threat to faith.

Christian unity cannot survive under theological tyranny but thrives in spaces of humble dialogue as participants commit to the reminder that the only prominent seat at the table is reserved for Jesus.

There is a worship song making the rounds that has the line, “cause praise is the waters my enemies drown in.” Should we be singing this? No.

This isn’t complicated. Jesus commanded his followers to love and pray for their enemies. This is one of those up-is-down, great reversal kind of things where Jesus flipped our normal script.

Don’t get caught up by good melodies and chord structure that lead you to garbage lyrics that go against the actual teaching of Jesus. If I may suggest, turn the song off, find another station, or, better yet, stop and pray for your enemies.

I’m shocked the refs once again missed several calls that cost the Pacers the game. I’m shocked. 🫠

Can we put an end to the Ask the Pastor anything sermons?

Evangelicalism has become the exact opposite of what it claimed to desire. Rather than permeating the culture with goodness, mercy, and love, it created a weird subculture of celebrity, judgment, and exclusion.

Is there a mute button for Doris Burke?

Too often, Bible passages get taken out of context and swung like a hammer to judge, harm, and exclude others. In this week’s teaching, I focused on the context of Romans 1, a passage often used to exclude that should teach us the opposite. wearesoutheast.church/sermon…
