Some things bear repeating. Get off the fence and take a stand.

Silence is not neutral. Silence is the drone itself, carrying death. I was warned to be careful with my words. But prophets weren’t careful. Jesus wasn’t careful. I will not bow. Our God is not silent. Neither are we.

🔥 Call It What It Is: The Mask Is Off 🔥
Let’s call it what it is—and let’s not let it stand.
Peace isn’t passive. It’s not too late to start making Good Trouble.

Thursday morning.
You rose. Not radiant—just real.
No need to conquer.
Just breathe, stretch, and move honest.
The sacred can find you in the reluctance.

🚨 New drop from Politically Pastoral 🕊️ We’re naming the spiritual violence of the Trump admin’s second term—targeting marginalized communities & DEI programs. #HolyResistance #TransRightsAreHumanRights #ImmigrantJustice #BlueskyClergy @revfatherjcw.bsky.social @fedora76.bsky.social
O Holy Mischief, deliver us
from flag-draped idols
from Bible-thumping bullies
from the gospel of guns, fear, and control
Let truth be louder than propaganda
let compassion ruin their grift

"Rev. Dr. William Barber II did not shout. He did not curse. He did not storm the gates. He simply prayed — and for that, he was deemed dangerous. Because mercy is dangerous."

Jesus chose the cross, not the throne.
He chose solidarity, not supremacy.
Easter is a call to rise with the oppressed— not to cozy up to power.

The tomb is empty.
So why are so many Christians filling the world with cages, walls, and prisons?

If your #Easter celebration ignores the poor, the refugee, and the oppressed— you missed the point.

They said, "You can't withstand the storm."
But maybe the call isn't to survive it.
Maybe it's to become it.

Text of quote over an image of Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and JD Vance. The quote is from liberation theologian Jon Sobrino, reading, "Evangelizers will have to tear the masks from their faces." Special emphasis is given to the words "tear the masks"

Ash Wednesday is tomorrow. This morning in prayer I chose my Lenten companion, or perhaps more accurately he chose me ... Blessed Franz Jägerstätter. I will be reading his Letters and Writings from Prison.

Rather than trying to mollify all sides. I hope we see more letters like this, but then I'm a strong proponent of #HolyResistance. 2/2
This. A whole bunch of this. #BeUMC #HolyResistance
