Ramping up for some podcasts ahead of my book with @HarperOne on Christianity and conspiracy theory in 2026! One I'm excited about: Religion on the Mind with Dr. Dan Koch... Crowdsourcing: what other podcasts do you think would be a good fit?

We don’t build the kingdom of God. • we announce it. • we seek it. • we receive it. • we bear witness to it. • “we build for it” (N.T. Wright) God builds it.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule isn’t the convinced Nazi or Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact & fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist. Hannah Arendt
