We focused on retributive justice last week. So today, I wanted to explore restorative justice. In today's episode of "Highest Power: Church + State," I interview Nicole Wiesen about the relationship b/w resurrection, liberation, and restorative justice. https://t.co/TBnKmdANWC

The Trump administration threatening to take away Harvard's tax exempt status is the resurrection of a previous kind of discrimination, reminding me of when the government took away Bob Jones University's tax exempt status. Here's my piece for today. https://t.co/xbfJWHF0kd

One thing I've noticed the last few days is how many Christians post on social media about how amazing Jesus is, but then pair it in the same post with something negative about themselves. It's like Jesus is supposedly only amazing to the degree that we're awful.

When you consider the cross as the subversion of Rome, rather than the sacralization of it, then resurrection is the affirmation and liberation of the oppressed. That seems like better news to me than the power-over theology I heard in the churches I was a part of.

Today's the day when a bunch of white evangelical five year olds are hearing that they're so wicked they deserve to be crucified.

We should've known something was up when they all started singing, "We'll put a boot in your ass. It's the American way."

As Christians celebrate Holy Week, I decided to focus today's podcast on demonstrating how the violent retribution in white evangelical atonement theories are speaking the same language as the violent retribution in white evangelical politics today. https://t.co/lO66PPswHo

If my 15 year old was president right now with his 11 year old sister as vice president, we'd be better off as a country than we are with Trump and Vance.

When we evaluate the tariff's effects on our neighbors, we tend to think in terms of money. But what about their humanity? In today's episode of "Highest Power: Church + State," I ask R Scott Okamoto, author of "Asian American Apostate." https://t.co/6EFW57O27G

Coming up on tonight's episode of "Highest Power: Church + State," I interview R. Scott Okamoto, author of "Asian American Apostate," about the impact Trump's tariffs are having on Asian Americans. If you haven't subscribed yet, you can do so wherever you listen to podcasts!

So essentially, the white evangelical response to Trump's presidency so far appears to be, "Though he slay us, yet will we trust in him."

Tonight, CNN is covering JD Vance's view that we're facing a birth rate crisis and we need women to stay home from work and have babies. I wrote about this last September. https://t.co/6gMfPt8N4L

On today's episode of "Highest Power: Church + State," I share the latest on tariffs and immigration. And then I interview @KSPrior about book bans and about loving your neighbors by reading their books. https://t.co/G74O25iyZn
