Doctoral Candidate👩‍🎓 Historian 👩🏻‍💻 I'm a doctoral student at the University of Oxford. My work looks at US History, particularly the intersections of 20th Century Evangelicalism, Gender, Masculinity, the Vietnam War, and the rise of the Religious Right.

Today is the day! Jonathan Lyonhart’s latest book The Journey of God is released today. This book is a culmination of Jonathan’s own journey with God. It is a theological text for mature and new Christian alike. Get your copy today!

But if it’s only money these leaders are after, they’ll self-destruct in no time. Lust for money brings trouble and nothing but trouble. Going down that path, some lose their footing in the faith completely and live to regret it bitterly ever after. 1 Timothy 6:9-10

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth... Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy...

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.

If you’re upset by a woman prophetically speaking truth to power, allow me to introduce you to Jesus’ mom: “God has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. God has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.” -Luke 1:52-53

My 5yo twins right now… “Stop touching me. You don’t have my consent” “I’m not touching you” “Yes you are” “No I’m touching your shirt” “Ugh” 😂😂😂 it’s the “you’re breathing my air” argument in the age of consent. We might have some more work to do though 😆
