Dismantling the White Nationalist Jesus
There can be only one Jesus, and he was a person of color murdered in the streets simply for proclaiming God’s kingdom, where the poor are blessed, not forgotten.
Mixed Blessing and the Experience of Double Minorities
It’s so important for us multiethnic folks to hear these truths. Contrary to the lies that the evil one whispers in our ears, we are not cosmic mishaps.
The Idolatry of Christian Nationalism
Evil attacks Christians by tricking them into believing they’re “being biblical” when in reality they aren’t being Christlike.
Say ‘No’ to Christian Nationalism: Evangelical Leaders Statement
