It’s funny until you realize it’s too real

Don’t threaten me with a good time* *convincing or putting pressure on elected leaders to idk do their jobs.

If you are feeling overwhelmed here’s some good next steps 💛 hang in there. You are not alone.

American Christians struggle to read Scripture and see anyone other than themselves as the heroes & the righteous in the text. They ignore millennia of history, thousands of miles of geography, and entirely different socio-cultural norms. They cannot fathom being Egypt, Babylon, or Rome.
