I was lucky to sit down with the hosts of the This Is Not Church podcast to talk about my latest book, Theological Musings: Collected Essays of a Tattooed Theologian Volume 2 as well as how enacting permaculture's ethics and principles is a theological imperative.

The Trance Regime
For many years now, I have been trying to understand why anyone who claims to be a Christian, that is someone who follows Jesus, could vote for someone as antichrist as Donald Trump. I have tried without success to get any Trump voting Christian to explain one teaching of Jesus that Trump actually advocates for, …
A Lament for today
Yesterday's sermon at the church I recently started to attend was about lament and several verses from different psalms were read. One thing that the pastor said that struck me was something she had recently read about hope and lament -- our hope can only go as high as our lamentations go deep. She went …
A bit about DEI and the Bible
MAGA world collectively has been having a fit over DEI -- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. As I studied the Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership document, the sections I read were rife with anti-DEI language and plans to remove all vestiges of DEI from the federal government. Texas governor Greg Abbott, a MAGA fanboy who is …
Blessed are the merciful
"Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy," said Jesus of Nazareth in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:7. Apparently, the Predator in Chief, our nation's first felonious president, did not get that memo. Nor did his followers, including a so-called pastor named Lorenzo Sewell, who claimed that the Right Reverend Bishop …
Wolves in sheep’s clothing
Recently while doing research for the God Squad pod, I came across a video from Joel Webbon's YouTube channel where he was interviewing Stephen Wolfe. The interview was primarily about Wolfe's book The Case for Christian Nationalism which outlines a racist vision for taking over the American church and implementing a Christofascist government where blasphemy …
Epiphany
Matthew's gospel narrative tells of wise men from the East who went to Jerusalem seeking the the infant Jesus whom they had come to pay homage. In the Christian tradition, this event, the visit of the Magi to Bethlehem to pay homage to the Christ child and bestow gifts upon him, is seen as the …
Sorry Rick, Jesus did not preach “capitalism”
Last week a caller named Rick called in to Tell Me Everything to take me, Desimber Rose, and host John Fugelsang to task. He started by intimating that my status as a Marine Corps veteran was false with a somewhat incoherent non sequitur about the tumble rate of rounds fired from weapons. I don't happen …

Project 2025 and the war machine
The Project 2025 "Mandate for Leadership" document is 900 plus pages of Christofascist ideology that the Heritage Foundation's leadership and partners hope will become public policy if Donald Trump inexplicably wins another term as POTUS. It is replete with fear mongering, blatant lies, weaponization of the Bible to harm immigrants, BIPOC communities, and LGBTQ+ peoples. …
