The Lies of the Right
In 2008–2009, I was a small-town pastor. I’d grown accustomed to watching Fox News because they seemed friendly to what we called “normal” Christian values. But when Obama was elected, Fox started screaming about the “Socialist threat” and the “godless Muslim in the White House.” I began tuning in to Glenn Beck, who claimed to Continue reading

The Hi-Jacked Church
In the decades after the civil-rights movement, a seismic shift occurred in American politics and theology. The old segregated order roared back under a new cloak. Many white evangelical churches in the South didn’t merely sit out the struggle for justice — they opposed it. They built theological defenses of segregation and sanctified social hierarchy Continue reading

The Law That Kills vs. The Grace That Restores
Charlie Kirk’s “Perfect Law” Meets Christ’s Perfect Love 1. The Scene They Both Quote Charlie Kirk invoked Leviticus 18 and 20, where the ancient law declares: “If a man lies with a man as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death.” He called this “God’s Continue reading

Principle: The Gospel Was Never for Sale
Once upon a time, the church spoke truth to power. Now it rents the microphone from it. Once, pulpits thundered against Pharaoh and Mammon. Now they’re branded with logos, sponsored by banks, and tied to corporate donor boards that would crucify Christ again if He walked into their sanctuary unannounced. This is not persecution. This Continue reading

Every person who is called a “minister of the gospel” in this nation — this is your line in the sand. You have watched the rise of fascism in your own backyard. You have seen immigrant families torn apart, asylum seekers pepper-balled, protestors beaten, the poor crushed beneath corporate greed — and you said nothing. Continue reading

The First Church of Goshen, Inc.
There was once a people who lived in a place called Goshen — a safe corner of Egypt, close enough to Pharaoh’s wealth to prosper, far enough from his whips to pretend they were still free. They had comfort, routine, and a steady supply of grain. They had peace with empire — and they mistook Continue reading

Open letter to Mario Murillo.
Hey Mario, You know me well. I walked in your shadow. You named me. You tried to forge me. But when God used me to correct you, you recoiled. Now you posture as the warrior-prophet, but the sword you hold is carved from spectacle, not surrender. You have become Herodian: you preach war to your Continue reading

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO FOX NEWS: A MANIFESTO AGAINST THE FALSE PROPHETS OF PROPAGANDA
They call it “news.” They call it “Christian.” But Fox News is neither. It is a ministry of Mammon wearing a cross. A billionaire cult disguised as a revival. A machine built not to inform, but to indoctrinate—to drain the empathy out of faith, to turn worshippers into warriors for empire. Fox News didn’t save Continue reading
