We've traded meaningful relationship for just being mean

Some leaders and pastor will stay away for this topic. But, we are called to LOVE BOLDLY

The internet is in a frenzy over the Church again. I’ve offered my perspective. ❤️♥️

The call to remove “politics” from the Gospel is a dog whistle from the groups that have no desire to grow, mature, or interrogate the Gospel message for their lives.

President Trump says he has no plans to call Pope Leo.

Let me get this straight…

🚩Being a convicted felon didn’t do it
🚩Sharing overtly racist depictions of Black
people didn’t do it
🚩Sending ICE agents who end up killing Americans (with impunity) didn’t do it
🚩Stamping his name on a Bible as though he owned it didn’t do it
🚩Placing unqualified moronic people in cabinet positions didn’t do it
🚩Starting a war and using God’s name to justify it didn’t do it
🚩Paying $130,000 to cover up a weird affair didn’t do it
🚩Calling Neo-Nazis, wannabe Confederates, Proud Boys and other goofy domestic terrorists “very fine people” didn’t do it
🚩ENCOURAGING A RACIST MOB TO OVERTHOW THE GOVERNMENT didn’t do it
🚩Protecting rapists and molesters didn’t do it.
🚩Being super crass, vulgar, inappropriate, and down right embarrassing didn’t do it
🚩Imposing dumb tariffs and other stupid decisions that made everything cost an arm and a leg didn’t do it

But this latest blasphemous depiction of himself as Christ has made you realize he might have problematic narcissistic tendencies?

Got it.

“He is Risen”

03/30/2026

I had a great time and conversation with Rob and Rachel from the Holy Roast Podcast! Please listen and subscribe

In this month’s episode, Rob and Rachel sit down with Rev. John Randolph. John is the pastor of Genesis UMC and Crescent Hill UMC in Louisville, KY.

In this episode, we explore the experience of pastoring in two unique congregations, highlighting the cultural, historical, and spiritual differences that shape ministry in each context. It reflects on how preaching adapts, or remains rooted, across these spaces, and lifts up the wisdom and practices of the Black church that could deepen congregational life. The discussion also names the challenges of navigating dual contexts, the resilience required to sustain such work, and the ways the United Methodist connectional system can both support and complicate cross-cultural ministry.
