The Hypocrisy of Outrage: The Drag Queen Last Supper Controversy

  • unpastor
  • August 5, 2024
The recent Olympics Drag Queen 'Last Supper' controversy riled everyone up, including me—not because it happened, but because of how Christians engaged with it. One pastor posted his concern about the Christian outrage and vehement rhetoric. It went viral. The comments railed against him were harsh, to have more confidence in calling sin "sin" and confronting the evil in the world, that he was sinning by approving of sin. Here's the thing: those comments are evil and sinful. That pastor did call out sin and sinners wouldn't have it. Such reactions reflect a Christian's inability to address their lack of love, faith, and hope, revealing their unaddressed sins. The demand to throw the first stone, I'm sorry people, is a sin. If you're holding a rock in your hand (or have just thrown one), you can't walk away from Jesus without your name written in the sand.

One decade ago, God is Not Dead proved to the entire world that Nietzsche was wrong. The problem is that America doesn’t understand Nietzsche—we understand what the American church has…

Rethinking The Samaritan Woman: Part One

  • unpastor
  • July 24, 2024
When you think of the Samaritan woman from John 4, how do you perceive her? What kind of person do you think she was?For many, she was a promiscuous woman who had been shunned by her community. For much of church history, this is how she has been taught: a woman whose sexual escapades had been exposed in the public spotlight. This is how I had been taught my whole life, from middle school Sunday school lessons through bible college courses. I've heard it preached this way in 2024. You will find no shortage of commentaries and blog posts affirming this conclusion

Jacob’s Legacy: Fatherhood, Faith, And Forgiveness

  • unpastor
  • June 16, 2024
Jacob's family has drama and issues. We can forget that these stories are about humans and that it was messy and not so cleanly scripted as we read them. Jacob was selfish and his family was a crap show. When his favorite son falls prey to the children Jacob fathered, Jacob's lifelong pursuit has born its fruit. He now swam in the wake of the mess he made.

Egongelicalism #1: The Clash of Ego in Evangelicalism

  • unpastor
  • June 7, 2024
The work of creating an image of myself who already exists, the work of trying to push that up and out while keeping the real me hidden and safe inside, and the work of dealing with communication breakdowns so I can filter Reality for the sake of my Ego is exhausting and unsustainable. From Genesis 1-3 through the Gospels and to Revelation, Ego is humanity’s issue. Jesus's Gospel was clearly an invitation to kill our egos and do the opposite—love.

Beyond “Just Don’t Lie” – Authentic Acceptance & Why Mantras Matter

  • unpastor
  • June 4, 2024
Now "Just don't lie" is about me not lying to myself and accepting reality as it is. It's been getting down to levels of not letting myself be distracted or hide behind convenient circumstances. It's also helped me talk about the good side, the good in reality, and me. It's not like any of us are entirely bad or even mostly. I can fixate and inflate my insecurities and ego quickly beyond what is real. The inverse is also true—I can avoid and minimize my insecurities so they disappear from notice. "Just Don't Lie" is about being as I am right now and allowing reality to be as it is.
