Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other
@goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social
For those of us who believe politics and religion are too important to let ”the screamers” drown out the rest of us; want more dialogue and less yelling; and love engaging, provocative and fun conversations about this stuff. If that's you, join us on TP&R!
The Walk That Overrides the Walker: Finding Functional Unity in the Common Rhythm of a Saints game. I invite you to take in the latest on Substack and share your thoughts over there: substack.com/home/post/p-...
What threshold has to be crossed before you finally hit block, mute, or just walk away? Niebuhr grounds me in humility; Heschel and Baldwin call me to compassion. Between those two poles—accepting my limits without surrendering my concern—is where discernment happens. substack.com/home/post/p-...
There are certain patterns that tell me when a relationship is becoming toxic. From today's Substack: substack.com/@coreysnatha... I invite you to check out the whole piece and engage in the discussion there.
When integrity calls for 'unfriending' — and what Niebuhr, Heschel, and Baldwin have to do with it. Please consider my latest piece on Substack and let's discuss: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Not all malice is equal.
Corey Nathan@coreysnathan.bsky.social · last yr.I've been thinking about malice lately. There's specific, targeted, even ethically-based malice. But then there's the general malice that's become a currency in our culture. Please consider this latest piece on Substack and respectfully join the conversation: substack.com/home/post/p-...
My latest on Substack is a companion to the most recent @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social. I'm trying to work out some hard quandaries in public. These fissures are at the epicenter of what ails us. Here's a link to the Substack: substack.com/home/post/p-... The podcast ep is up on all the apps.
What I feel this October 7th will be unacceptable — to the divergent extremes, for different reasons. I invite those who are interested, respectfully, to consider my latest piece on Substack: coreysnathan.substack.com/p/i-am-the-j...
Pretty cool to get a shout out from one of my intellectual, sociological heroes @jonathanhaidt.bsky.social re: Our recent talk about @heterodoxacademy.bsky.social
Pretty cool milestone. We just started with the video versions of @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social. So it's encouraging to get some traction. This is in addition to the audio versions which are, thankfully, doing really well. (The only downside with video is folks have to look at my ugly mug!)
The choices we face at this moment in our country’s history might seem hard; but they’re not complex. I invite you to check out my latest piece over on Substack and engage in the conversation: coreysnathan.substack.com/p/principle-...
America doesn’t need more partisans. America needs more citizens willing to choose principle over expediency, to honor liberty even for those with whom we disagree, and to defend the rights of all — even when it’s inconvenient. Check out the full piece here: substack.com/home/post/p-...
"... Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: ‘to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.’ Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people.” - RFK 4/4/68 coreysnathan.substack.com/p/scapegoats...
Many are hurting. Some respond with blame. But it's not about them. It's about us. What has hatred done to you? #notaboutthem #morewelessthem #grief #healing
This is not the way. After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, our collective grief has been compounded by something almost as tragic: The cheering. The blaming. The dehumanization. Each of us can make a choice to do better and be better than this. Don’t let hate win.
"Political violence is evil. I don't care how angry you are at your opponents. We have a ballot box. We have courts. We have free speech. I'm sick with grief for Charlie and his family. I'm sick with concern for this country." - @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social

When we talk about “them,” do we have an actual human being in mind? Or are we just conjuring a caricature? coreysnathan.substack.com/p/loving-our...
About a day and a half after completely losing my shit, one thought kept circling in my head: Who the hell am I to host a podcast called Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other? Fair question... coreysnathan.substack.com/p/when-you-f...
I had a deeply meaningful conversation with Dr. @imterencelester.bsky.social on @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social. Dr. Lester traveled a long way - not just geographically. From h.s. dropout to earning his PhD and becoming a faith, community and social justice leader. It's up on all the apps!
Well, this'll keep ya up at night... @matthewdtaylor.bsky.social reveals what the #NewApostolicReformation (NAR) has been planning via the #sevenmountainmandate #7mm. Here's a clip and we discussed it at length on @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social which is up on all the apps.
In SUMMER OF OUR DISCONTENT, Thomas @chatterton.bsky.social Williams reckons with all that was happening in the summer of 2020 - historically, culturally and politically: What led up to that moment, what was happening in that moment and how it's shaped us since.
Have we forgotten that the people we interact with and read about online are still human beings?
