Central PA! Catch me Tuesday at 7:00 PM at Elizabethtown College’s Young Center (Bucher Meetinghouse) as I unpack themes from my book Making It Plain: Why We Need Anabaptism & the Black Church. The event is open to the public, so you’ll want to be in the room for this: www.etown.edu/centers/youn...

What if the Passover lamb wasn’t to shield us from an angry God, but to launch liberation over a feast? ​ If you live in central PA, join me tomorrow at 10am at Harrisburg First Church of the Brethren, as I preach the lectionary text (Ex 12:1–14), echoing Andrew Rillera’s The Lamb of the Free.

Our guest for 1 Corinthians 3 & 4 is @druhart.bsky.social, Associate Professor of Theology at Messiah University and co-host with Jared McKenna of the amazing Inverse podcast. Dr. Hart's newest book is "Making It Plain: Why We Need Anabaptism in the Black Church."

We’ve converted the highest office in the land into a UFC spectacle. A corrupt, narcissistic president turning the White House into a circus is an embarrassment. By far the least of his moral failings as a national leader but still embarrassing.

I'm pacing like I'll be playing in game 7. I hope the sixers are more locked in than I am. How are we feeling?

This series is so good! I would love to see written summaries, if anyone has taken time to do that. I wanted to take notes as I listened, and if I listen another time at some point I will!

Most of us were taught a punitive interpretation of the Cross. But for the first 1000 years of the Church, Penal Substitution wasn’t the story. Salvation was liberation & victory, not satisfying divine wrath. 11 conversations that'll change how you view salvation: open.substack.com/pub/drewgiha...

Powerful thread!!! Especially for Good Friday and Easter, but always, of course.

On Good Friday, the Western church has trained us to hear "It is finished" as: debt paid, case closed. But tetelestai — the Greek — means a mission fully brought to completion. The early church asked a better question: what was the mission? And the answer changes everything. 🧵

Tonight I'll be sharing for 7 Last Words at Harrisburg First Church of the Brethren this evening at 6 PM. I'm speaking on "It Is Finished" & will explore the question: What exactly is "It"? The answer is bigger & more liberating than the conventional western answer. All are welcome. Come through.

Richmond bound. Bethany Seminary Board of Trustees time. #BethanySeminary #ProfsOnAPlane

For me #DEI can be a helpful strategy from inside an institution to move it towards greater diversity and belonging but it is not a substitute for the vital work of reparative justice, liberation, and empowerment for historically oppressed and exploited people.

A powerful reflection on the life of John Perkins from my brother @druhart.bsky.social. open.substack.com/pub/drewgiha...

How John Perkins Influenced My Trajectory

On Black evangelicalism, the theology of relocation, and why one challenge back in 2001 still shapes where I live today.

In 2001, John Perkins told Black college students: don't flee your neighborhoods once you get your degree. Go back. I was in that room. Here's how that one challenge shaped the next 25 years of my life. drewgihart.substack.com/p/how-john-p... #JohnPerkins

Many Protestants collapsed Luther's context and Paul's together, training generations to see good works as optional or suspicious. But Paul says we are created in Christ Jesus for good works. My new essay recovers what that means. drewgihart.substack.com/p/saved-for-works-why-faith-needs-action

Saved For Works: Why Faith Needs Action

How a 500-year-old misreading of Paul trained Protestants to distrust good works and why recovering "saved for works" can realign our lives with the actual way of Jesus.

Heading home with very little sleep! The early wake-up is hitting hard, but it was worth it to spend time with friends and make new ones at the Ember Gathering. Now, time for a travel day back home. #ProfsOnAPlane

Don’t usually do back-to-back trips, but I’m Oakland bound & headed to the Ember Gathering to speak, reconnect with good friends, and maybe make some new ones from across the country. Cut the winter beard too…trying to step into spring. #ProfsOnAPlane

Heading home after a rich few days at AMBS in Elkhart. Grateful for the connections, the conversations, and the reception I received. #ProfsOnAPlane

Flying to Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Elkhart, IN to kick off Pastors & Leaders Week. This year the theme is Resistance, Resilience, and Rest, and I’ve been tapped to deliver 2 lectures on resistance. Looking forward to reconnecting with lots of good people✊🏾 #ProfsOnAPlane

I'll be preaching at New Life Philly Church at 10 am this morning.

How to melt the ICE in your neighborhood "A cold front will maintain the freeze. It takes more than a one-time exposure to the heat to get rid of the freeze. It must be a sustained and prolonged exposure for the long haul." open.substack.com/pub/drewgiha...

We know that when white people stand up for the rights of Black & Brown people, their whiteness won't protect them. In the eyes of white supremacists, they are race traitors and deserve what happens to them. Ask Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, ​Viola Liuzzo, Jonathan Daniels, James Reeb, et al.

The fact that ICE has now murdered multiple white American citizens in #Minneapolis is unveiling that the same racialized state violence built to target Black & Brown people spills over to white people resisting the status quo. Black people have lived this our entire time in this land. #LinkArms
