With only 3 weeks until the manuscript of my new book “The Politics of Loving Your Neighbor” is due. I'm in the “tighten” phase. I find it difficult to read my own work. One of my favorite tools reads my content to me in celebrity voices. Last week, Jonathan Davies. This week, Snoop Dog!

Hey Ministry Leaders, If you are thinking about joining us for the J29 Coalition Cohort, a generous donor has provided 10 full-ride scholarships! This year, we'll kick off with a Civil Rights immersion trip and cap it off with a retreat in Ohio. Learn more at J29Coalition.com
In 2015, I graduated w/ my Master's from Phx Seminary. Weeks later, I saw Rush's penultimate show w/ Neil Peart. Tomorrow, I travel to LA for Rush's 3rd show (w/ a new drummer), then I'll graduate w/ my doctorate from Fuller Seminary. My musical & academic life formed a synthesized chiasm.
This is a very worthwhile listen, no kidding. World Refugee Day is June 20. www.unhcr.org/us/get-invol...

Is Christianity Good? Why would someone pretend to be godly? What do we do when people in power claim the name of Jesus, and then do stuff that seems so, well, anti-Jesus? Turns out, a bunch of people in the Bible considered these questions, too! youtu.be/CcYBQXBfvSU

In 1949, W. E. B. Du Bois testified before the United States Congress in the middle of the Red Scare. In his testimony, he named a dangerous, sometimes lethal, practice common in America’s political discourse. He called it “witch words.” disarmingleviathan.substack.com/p/witch-words
