""The story of David and Saul, and the wider story of God, should make Christians cautious when trying to interpret events."
I do think that we need to be careful about how we pray and talk about our leaders, especially as it relates to speaking confidently about God's will. My latest for @TheAtlantic

Eric Metaxas and other conservatives have likened today's political climate to Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s fight against Nazis, prompting criticism from Bonhoeffer scholars and descendants who urge them to stop these comparisons. https://t.co/E0MKaJgvt8

Family members of the theologian worry conservatives will use a new Bonhoeffer movie to promote Christian nationalism and political violence.

Hypermasculinity is the rotten fruit of disowned shame. Behind the mask of grandiosity, a little boy, hidden and desperate. We settle for caricatures of these men, but I’m always moved in therapy sessions when the maskless little boy emerges in tears, longing for love.

Excellent article... "The economy of pleasure turns us inward and makes us small, focusing our attention on ourselves and not toward something that transcends us." @Zheschool
“We cannot throw the baby of manhood out with the bathwater of machismo. Men need something to which they can aspire, and if we want better men, we need to offer something attractive and positive, not mere criticism.” @Zheschool on models of manhood. https://t.co/wCBH5H095i

What is joy? Where can we find it? And if we were to manage it, would our lives be free from sorrow? Today, @MiroslavVolf and @AngelaGorrell tell stories to discuss the nature of joy, and why, even in the midst of immense pain and suffering, joy and sorrow are not opposites.

I don't pass on many pieces or talk about politics much anymore on social media. But this is a really helpful piece. Both in its commendation of humility. But especially in its suggestions about ways to actually help people in Gaza.

I worry that the more aggressive demonstrators may be hurting the Gazans they’re trying to support.
