Introducing #HolyPostMedia - See the Bigger Picture. We bring conversations together to navigate living a faithful Christian life in an increasingly post-Christian culture. Theologically orthodox & pro-neighbor, we tackle serious issues without taking ourselves too seriously.

It’s officially pumpkin spice season! 🎃 Which means it's time to pull this gem from the archives.

"There’s no such thing as a Christian nation in a generic sense. To enjoy the benefits of a 'Christian nation,' you have to be the right kind of Christian." Read the rest from @brandonjobrien ⬇️ holypost.substack.com/p/blas…

The White House has thankfully shut down Pete Hegseth's plan to livestream a public execution, but it never should have been proposed in the first place. Especially by someone who identifies as a Christian. @skyejethani on 🎙️Holy Post 742

What does the Bible really say about the death penalty? Some Christians believe it's demanded by Scripture, but what about all of the times God chooses a different response to evil? "As the people who  believe in the power of repentance and redemption, shouldn't we err on the side of giving even terrible criminals every opportunity available to repent and find redemption?" @skyejethani on 🎙️Holy Post 742

NYC! Thanks for an amazing night. We had the best time hearing your thoughts & questions, getting to know you, and just being in the same room together.

"The death penalty has survived in America not in spite of Christians, but because of us—and that should trouble any of us who genuinely love Jesus, the Prince of Peace." Read the rest from @ShaneClaiborne ⬇️ holypost.substack.com/p/the-…

" When I get stressed, typically it's because I'm hanging onto an outcome, you know? Not hanging onto my savior." @philvischer at Holy Post 693: Live from Chicago 2025 We're doing this again next Friday - join us in Chicago! Tickets in our bio.

The same principles Christians apply to face-to-face interactions should also apply online. Apologist & hip-hop artist Emmanuel "Da Truth" Lambert joined @esaumccaulley in studio to discuss his new book, "Forgive Me If I Was Rude," and the art of having difficult conversations about faith without turning every disagreement into an argument.

As we see tribalism, anger, and calls for violence in our country, we have a choice. We can follow the way of Jesus or join with those who claim his name while applauding the very evil he came to disarm.

"The Evangelical Industrial Complex grants authority to people based on the size of their platform rather than the maturity of their faith." @skyejethani on 🎙️The SkyePod

"If we are to move toward places of injustice and embrace people in pain, we must first move deeper in our communion with God."

"If you're going to adopt explicitly Christian language, then I'm going to look for Christian reasoning and ethics in how you do things." @esaumccaulley & @mikestralow on 🎙️The Esau McCaulley Podcast

Pete Hegseth recently announced plans to livestream an execution by firing squad. If carried out, it will be the first public execution in the United States in nearly a century. There's a reason we stopped making executions public spectacles. Any Christians supporting this are making America more like ISIS and less like Jesus. Subscribe on Substack for more from @skye.jethani & our team.

A lot of the time, following Jesus actually looks like losing. The Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5 is challenging. It's counterintuitive. It can feel even dangerous, irresponsible, and unfair. But it's what Jesus calls us to, and it's what distinguishes us as Christians. So are we willing to accept it and give up our desire to win...or not? @skye.jethani & @richvillodas on 🎙️The SkyePod (5/9/2025). Join us in New York City this Thursday, October 15th, for more conversations like this, but in person! Get your tickets today at the link in our bio.

For many Christians, daily Bible reading feels like another obligation...or even a source of guilt. So is it okay to let go of the habit? @skye.jethani answers your questions on the latest episode of 🎙️The SkyePod. Tune in on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

NEW ARTICLE: "Here is what the church needs to understand: the people building the most powerful AI systems in the world are not confident they know what they are doing. They are scared, they are honest about being scared, and they are still building the technology anyway." Read the rest from Nick Skytland ⬇ substack.com/home/post/p-219…

If Christians are preaching on the importance of holiness and righteousness and then shy away from condemning the wickedness of abuse when it arises in our colleges, our government, our churches, or anywhere else, that's not only hypocrisy, but the enablement of further abuse. @rachaeldenhollander on Season 2 of "Why I'm Still a Christian," available on Holy Post Plus.

This week on 🎙️The @EsauMcCaulley Podcast, we cover the Cornell 7 Case & discuss what Christian sexual ethics should say about power, exploitation, and the dignity of the body. Tune in on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. #cornell7 #christian #holypost #reels

Some Christians cite the “eye for an eye” principle in the Old Testament (Deut. 9:21) to defend the death penalty. But what about when Jesus says, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you…turn the other cheek" in Matthew 5? This week on 🎙️Holy Post 741, we cover the recent botched execution in Tennessee & the range of perspectives on the death penalty among Christians. Is the death penalty really demanded by Christian theology, or does the gospel call Christians toward a different vision of justice and mercy? Tune in wherever you get your podcasts, share with a friend, and let us know your thoughts.
