Episcopal priest and social media theologian joins the God Squad to talk about progressive theology, faith, and his book When the Saints Go Flying In. I highly recommend his book and social media. https://youtu.be/QYrYgT-4Yeo https://youtu.be/0EvT4bEi9Sk https://youtu.be/i3XSTMIlpJM https://youtu.be/JkbTJybrITc https://youtu.be/xViCbA0GUtM Full Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/045-when-the-saints-go-flying-in-with-special-guest/id1754574318?i=1000709571062

Grab your pruners, we’re overwhelmed by brambles
The Trance Regime has been in place for just over 100 awful days now. The current felonious occupant of the presidential mansion has seen his approval ratings drop to historic lows as the fallout begins from the regime's disastrous economic policies. The unimaginably cruel immigration policies, the brainchild of arch-xenophobe Stephen Miller, are finally starting …

Creation care and honoring Pope Francis
"Give us this day our daily bread." - Jesus of Nazareth "But let justice roll down like water and righteousness from an ever-flowing stream." The prophet Amos Creation care is a theological imperative because we can not love our neighbors, either next door or across the globe, by polluting the biosphere. Jesus' prayer for enough …

The story of the tortoise and the hare turns the idea of a race completely on its head. The speedy hare should of course finish first, but shockingly does not, because the slow and steady tortoise maintains focus and triumphs over the arrogant and haughty hare. In like fashion, the four Gospel accounts of Jesus' …

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 …
