“Reality In Ruins” is officially out in the world; let’s throw sand in the machine—tell the truth and yes, wait for the truth—disreality be damned.

Announcing my new book: DEFYING TYRANTS: Following Jesus in a World of Christian Antichrists. Pre-order now, out October 6th. For those who've followed my reporting on Christian nationalism — this one goes somewhere different. A thread. 🧵

1st preacher at @PeteHegseth's monthly Pentagon prayer services was his former pastor in Doug Wilson's denomination. Preachers since then: 3 Southern Baptist pastors, grandson of Billy Graham, & former NFL player accused of insider trading: publicwitness.wordandway.org… @DOWResponse

Some smart people are saying good things about my forthcoming book, 'The Bible According to Christian Nationalists.' So don't take my word for it, listen to them & preorder the book: publicwitness.wordandway.org…

As the Department of Homeland Security once again kidnaps a Bible verse to justify militarized hunting of immigrants in a social media video, I'm reminded that the Bible shows us that even Satan knows how to quote Scripture.
TO EVERY CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIEN IN AMERICA: Darkness is no longer your ally. You represent an existential threat to the citizens of the United States, and US Border Patrol's Special Operations Group will stop at nothing to hunt you down.

Wrapping up a profound few days at the “Signs of the Times: Interdisciplinary Responses to Religious Nationalism” conference at Notre Dame. It was a huge privilege to present a paper on the Bible and human security with @kkdumez and @TaylorMatthewD. Onward together!

Gonzaga has reached nine straight Sweet Sixteens (including two title games), the only team in the nation to do that. Gonzaga is only the fourth team in college hoop history to reach nine straight, joining UCLA, North Carolina and Duke. Gonzaga has always had fearless competitors. You may beat them, but you have to kill them. Remarkable. @ZagMBB

In light of rude, pro-Putin treatment of Zelenskyy by Trump & Vance in White House, it's important to be clear about who actually started the war & who is actually a dictator: publicwitness.wordandway.org…

Drew Strait joins us for a conversation about how Christian Nationalism is impacting the American Church and how we can engage those giving themselves over to this movement. @DrewStrait

AIDS deaths and starvation rising in Africa... hospitals closing in refugee camps in Thailand... kids watching their grandparents being dragged away in the US. It shouldn't be controversial to say that any movement that brings "bad news to the poor" is not a Christian movement.

Appreciate @ChristianCent review of 'Baptizing America.' "The themes presented in this significant book prompt us to reflect on how we might respond to these pressing issues. Reading it prayerfully is earnestly recommended." christiancentury.org/books/d…
