The Pharisees Didn’t Disappear. They Got a Flag.
Every generation that fuses God to power tells itself the same lie: this time we’re the righteous ones. History has never once supported that confidence. When Jesus confronted the Pharisees and Sadducees, He wasn’t nitpicking theology. He was exposing a religious class that had aligned itself with control, hierarchy, and empire while still speaking fluently… Continue reading

The Bleating of the Sheep
“What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears?”1 Samuel 15:14 Samuel asked this of King Saul after Saul claimed that he had performed what God had required, even though he hadn’t. So Samuel asks, Yeah? So why are the sheep alive? “What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears?”—… Continue reading

TPRU: When the Armor doesn’t fit…
When the Armor Doesn’t Fit David didn’t refuse Saul’s armor because it was heavy. He refused it because it hadn’t saved him before. This episode is about the battles no one applauds — the private fights where trust in God is forged long before anything goes public. The lion. The bear. The moments where faith… Continue reading

Fat Emperors and Huckster Followers.

I launched a ministry in South Dakota in the early 2000s between the Yankton Sioux area and Pine Ridge. I didn’t launch a ministry to the Native folks, or to “save the rez”, I just reached out to people, people who are overlooked. I ended up doing a lot of revival meetings in South Dakota… Continue reading

The Integrity of His Intentions
We all know the Lord’s Prayer, right? Jesus begins with, “Our Father…” Not a Father. Not the Father. Our Father — personal, intimate, direct. The whole force of the prayer starts with belonging. That matters, because a lot of us were raised on the idea that Jesus loves everyone in general, which somehow made it… Continue reading

IMPOSSIBLE PEOPLE, HOLY TEACHERS
There’s a hard truth most folks never learn because they spend their whole life trying to avoid it: The people who bother you, trigger you, and make your blood boil are often the very teachers sent to sharpen you. We don’t grow because life is easy. We don’t mature because people are kind. We grow… Continue reading

JAMES 2:5 AND THE DANGEROUS FAVOR OF GOD
“Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom He promised to those who love Him?” — James 2:5 James didn’t whisper this. He thundered it across the early church because the people needed to hear a truth the wealthy hated… Continue reading

AMERICAN SKIN & THE SOLIDARITY OF GOD
How Being a Traditional Skinhead Shaped My Christianity Recognition — The Roots Run Deeper Than the Rumors Let me say it plain, without apology: I came up in the traditional skinhead world — the real one, the working-class one, the anti-racist one, the boots-on-the-ground brotherhood that predates the hijacking of the look by fascists and… Continue reading
