“Black Lives Matter is a theological statement….It doesn’t mean only Black Lives Matter. It means Black Lives Matter too.” May it be so. @JemarTisby @bethallisonbarr @TruettSeminary @BaylorProud #racism #racisminthechurch #church #racialjustice #reconciliation #justice
What Is Good Trouble? Some thoughts on my work for those who met me on @WajahatAli's Substack last week, and, I hope, encouragement and challenge for other readers and listeners. Deep in my heart, I still believe. Let's start good trouble! @OUPPhilosophy greggarrett.substack.com/p/w…
A blessing to preach a theology of abundance for Calvary Baptist Waco this weekend. This Wed I’ll be talking live about White Lies and white Christian nationalism on Substack with @WajahatAli at noon CST, and next Thurs am I’ll be at @RiceUniversity @OUPPhilosophy @BaylorProud
I really enjoyed my Substack conversation with @robertpjones yesterday about his new book Backslide. It's an important book! Live with Good Trouble greggarrett.substack.com/p/r… @StMartinsPress
I haven't been to prison (yet) and I have 0 tattoos. But: I have rarely felt so heard. Thank you. "Jelly Roll Speaks His Truth" youtu.be/dQ7RRSJXgi8?si=bbo4… via @YouTube #matthew25 @JellyRoll615
“Texas is the model for the nation in returning our universities again to places of open debate, free inquiry, getting rid of ideological indoctrination and creating degrees of value for students.” @TexasTech has never been a haven for liberals. But sure. nytimes.com/2026/08/18/us/te…
So grateful for my friend @robertpjones fine new book Backslide and the moral call for what he names "future regret." Are you going to look back at the end of your life and be proud of what you're doing now? We'll do a Live Substack Sept 2! @StMartinsPress @MacmillanUSA #books
I spend hours daily consulting news and opinion for my work as writer, teacher, and speaker. My latest at Substack is about what I read to try and learn the truth, report it, and spread it. "I Read the News Today" greggarrett.substack.com/p/i… @nytimes @baptist_news @Substack @FoxNews
Looking forward to a Substack conversation with my friend the Rev. @JoashPThomas Monday about race, justice, colonial Christianity, and my new @OUPPhilosophy book White Lies. open.substack.com/live-strea… @BaylorProud @iamepiscopalian @amcathparis #race #justice #myth #canontheologian
Get ready! I should be going on with @JohnFugelsang on @SIRIUSXM around 12:10 Central time. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, oh Lord, my strength and my redeemer. @BaylorProud @OUPPhilosophy
Excited for another talk with @JohnFugelsang tomorrow on race, faith, and politics. And we’ll also discuss my new book White Lies from @OUPPhilosophy. Check out John’s new daytime show on Sirius XM. It’s so good! @BaylorProud @amcathparis @iamepiscopalian

Some conversation about why American evangelicals don't/won't confront racism. One of the reasons, at least. Thanks to @GFMediaOrg for a great conversation. facebook.com/share/r/1EbJuhB…

Lord of life, today we ask for the grace to recognize and protect the unique and unrepeatable value of every human being. May we learn to welcome life unconditionally, to tenderly care for fragility, to accompany each stage with respect, and to bravely defend those who have no voice.

What a great visit with @robertpjones yesterday for his Redeeming Democracy Sub. Live conversation about race, religion, and politics and our new books. Have a listen! Author Salon: Convo with Greg Garrett about his new book "White Lies" @OxUniPress open.substack.com/pub/gregga…
Good hard conversation with Faithful Politics about my book White Lies and hateful racist myths. This week, I also talk about the book with with author @robertpjones and talk show host @JohnFugelsang. May these offerings be of use. youtube.com/watch?v=88IfwzSN… @BaylorProud #justice
Yesterday I spoke with the great Greek Orthodox poet Scott Cairns about writing, art, and imagination, and he said something very similar. Art asks us to pay attention. And once you've paid attention, how can you look away. Thank you, Pope Leo.
Dear writers, we need your imagination, your narrative creativity and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…
