The “Sons of Patriarchy” podcast (@patriarchysons) aims to expose patriarchy, Christian nationalism, the underlying theologies of these movements and how these beliefs breed all forms of abuse.

An inspiring read on how one family is tackling #homelessness with compassion in rural Colville, WA. From providing shelter & job opportunities to dispelling rumors, their faith-driven approach is making a real difference. Great story by @CassyBenefield bit.ly/3RojcrM

“It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it.“ -Billy Graham (father of @Franklin_Graham)
Really? Invoking Psalm 23--which we've all heard so often in deeply moving circumstances--on behalf of Donald Trump's coverup of his encounter with a porn star? Ugh.

Upheaval in the Middle East, especially when it involves Israel, inevitably stirs up a hornet’s nest of fears about the end of the world...That’s especially true for those who’ve been led to believe that Jesus predicted what they’re seeing play out on the news in his Olivet Discourse. That isn't what he was referring to.

The spring Equinox brings more than just the joy of birds singing and nature blooming for Behnoosh Armani. This cosmic change also marks her New Year celebration as a Baha’i — a celebration known as Naw-Ruz
