OOOOO

This is a fun series. It's forcing me to dive back through my entire seminary journey. open.substack.com/pub/jtmartin...

I had a blast at this conference. I loved presenting this paper. open.substack.com/pub/jtmartin...

Did not make it into PhD programs this cycle. Need help finding new work opportunities in the Philly area while I continue to pursue Higher education through a second masters program in the region.

I made an A on my first paper this semester. I discussed God and Gender in Al-Ghazali and Aquinas. To read the paper become a paid subscriber on Substack! open.substack.com/pub/jtmartin...

Look at what just dropped on Substack! jtmartin.substack.com/p/queer-spir...

I will add to the discussion that there are different versions of WCN at play in the contemporary moment. My research is revealing that soft-fascism entered the republican party as a result of the Southern Baptist Fundamentalist Takeover which is a distinct variation of the WCN presented here.

#ProgressiveSeminary we should get a group of seminary students together to talk about preparing for ministry as an Empire attempts to rise… I’m thinking 5 episodes for a limited series podcast. 1-2 hours per episode. Who can contribute to this work?

I'm struck by the near-total failure of leadership across civil society, in a country that fetishizes the concept. Whole sections of leadership books at every bookstore. Named, endowed "leadership" institutes and curricula across higher ed. Awards and special recognition for "leaders." AND YET

The Tennessee state Senate "approved a bill Tuesday that would make it illegal for lawmakers to vote for policies perceived as opposing President Donald Trump's agenda—namely sanctuary procedure." It heads to the House for a vote next week. www.newsweek.com/tennessee-bi...

Theology cannot be politically neutral: because faith either liberates or oppresses. How has religion cultivated your sense of justice? Reply, read this newsletter, and subscribe to my substack: jtmartin.substack.com/p/faith-agai...

This.

@kylepowell.bsky.social and I had a wonderful discussion last week. With the way things are escalating I am also speeding up my content creation and release schedule while I am unemployed.

Straight men should be doing the red lipstick performative action because expressing queerly is an act of resistance, solidarity, and resilience.

They are trying to overwhelm us with all these EOs. Do what you need to do to stay out of freeze mode the best that you can. Connect with people. Connect with yourself. We're gonna fight.

This is a powerful moment for intersectionality. Marginalized groups must work together, strategize and support one another. It’s easy to feel despair right now, but if we work as one … we outnumber the hateful bigots among us. No one is coming to save us, so let’s save each other.

We didn’t pay enough attention to the long term impact of fundamentalism 50 tears ago. #cutewinterboots Let’s not make the same mistake with this movement. open.substack.com/pub/jtmartin...

Faith in the Fight Against Oppression. #cutewinterboots Theology can oppress or liberate. I write on fighting fascism with queer liberation theology and faith. I want to connect exvangelicals trying to find their footing in the resistance and justice work. When did you start fighting back?

Faith as a Tool for Resistance. #cutewinterboots I explore the entanglement of religion & power —how faith enabled fascism & how we reclaim faith for justice as an act of resilience and resistance. Refer your friends and Let’s build a coalition to fight fascism together! jtmartin.substack.com

General announcement. Avoid churches rated 0, 1, or 2, on this map if you have been hurt by the church but are re-exploring christianity. www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/v...

Make no mistake, "you do you" Covid policies helped pave the way for Trump's victory They emboldened him to be more aggressive and openly fascist this time around You can't throw away entire groups of people & not see very real consequences The Spanish Flu pandemic helped pave the way for Hitler

I'm beginning my theological coverage of Operation Reconquista... it is an alt-right movement within the mainline church and there is little coverage on the movement. Next Saturday my overview of the movement will drop.

Here is a map of all churches recommended by an alt-right collection of mainline Christians that are attempting to remove liberal protestants www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/v...

Everyone was warned about this, and it’s happening just as we feared.

OPINION: Our faith in democracy and one another has been deeply shaken.

This is a very succinct recounting of the history of Hitler's rise to power. It's worth seeing the sharp parallels with what is happening in 2025 in America. From a Threads user, it was too long to share here, so I copied it to my blog. PLEASE READ. crucibleofthought.com/a-brief-hist...

Focus on 1 or 2 things. Go deep on those. Focus on "news" about those things first and foremost. Think about the concrete actions you can take to impact those ONE or TWO things.

"Was Bishop Mariann Budde right to call for the protection of migrants and LGBTQ kids at the National Prayer Service?" Yes, she's allowed to talk about Christ's teachings at a church service. Next question.
