Is anyone else noticing much more conservative content on your #tiktok #algorithm or is it just me? #progressivepastor #progressivechristian #progressiveclergy

I've spent more time discerning if our #church should switch to oil candles, than #djt has discerned an ethnic cleansing. I wish that was a joke. #progressivechurch #progressiveclergy #progressivechristian

Don’t expect a virtue signal from everyone. Some people are doing quiet, behind the scenes work that requires them to shut the fuck up, and you are making that job harder. If you want to be loud, that’s fine, there’s a place for it. But that’s not everyone’s place.

Y'all are going to hate me for this, but be sure you are providing off ramps for deconstructing Trump voters. I'm not saying you have to be best friends with them, but we are going to need them in the midterms and beyond. Not to mention, we are also called to mercy. #progressivechristian #mercy

Clergy friends, meetings are taking place. We are strategizing. If you haven't been invited to these meetings and you definitely haven't heard of them... you need to ask yourself and your congregation why that is. #progressiveclergy #progressivechristian #justice #organizing #resistance

Black Women continue to lead with resilience, brilliance, and creativity. They're turning platforms like #TikTok into virtual #HBCUs, creating spaces for learning, growth, and empowerment—making a way out of no way, as they've always done. #progressivechristian #progressiveclergy

The House is in direct violation of the US #constitution with HR.Res.59 attempting to suppress Rev. Budde. Within 59 is the claim that Budde's sermon was a "distorted message." This claim cannot be made, unless they literally ESTABLISH a correct message she could distort. #progressivechristian

The beauty of mercy is its clarity. The same person who condemns the violence of an assassination attempt will feel no contradiction in urging the same president not to choose violence in leadership. Mercy is not an agenda; it is a way of life. #progressiveclergy #progressivechristian #bishopbudde

So, are we just not going to talk about the fact that Trump just destroyed the ability for many elderly people to afford their medication and that the US government just made a very shady investment in AI?

My only concern with #bluesky is that we have so much autonomy, that we are creating echo chambers. Are we just preaching to the choir when we control the full algorithm? I've been posting on Meta still, cuz y'all already know! #progressiveclergy #progressivechristian

The salute is a BigMac. It's real and it did happen. I'm sure it feels good to destroy it now, but you are going to wonder why you are hungry and don't feel good just a few hours after eating it. We need to learn what distractions look like. #strategize #organize #mobilize #progressivechristian

Right now, an actual message sent to my church from someone who is not a member nor do they attend: "Why is flag at church half staff? Governor dewine ordered flags to fly full staff today" How do you even respond to this with grace?... What is life right now? #church #flag #progressiveclergy

I'm simultaneously sad that #TikTok was gone, yet incredibly suspicious, confused, and angry by how shady TT has handled the last 24+ hours. I understand that creators should do what they have to do, but the moment a viable alternative appears, I'm jumping ship as fast as possible. #progressive

An early self-ban while giving premature credit to a president elect is an interesting move. Not shady at all. Nope. #tiktok #progressivechristian #progressiveclergy

Maybe growing is realizing that there is no possible way seminary could prepared clergy for just how nuanced ministry really is. And... then... maybe stop being so bitter about it. #seminary #progressiveclergy #progressivechristian

The more I study the gospel, the more I'm baffled at how we could see this foot washing, health restoring, sword disarming, patient listening, kind teaching, cross bearing Jesus and then somehow arrive at the conclusion that he is calling us to impose our worldview on others.

I don’t know many friends or family who use Instagram but don’t also have Facebook. Is it a good idea to transition my Instagram into a purely professional “Out of the Pulpit” page, using Reels for my content and leaving out personal posts? #progressiveclergy #progressibechristisn

Church can be toxic as hell, but only because we human beings make it that way. So don't be that person. Don't be the reason your church is toxic. Love you, mean it! #church #progressivechristian #progressiveclergy
