1/ Congrats to @LatashaMorrison of @BAbridgebuilder. Not only is she a @nytimes Best Selling author but her organization @BAbridgebuilder is celebrating its 4 year anniversary this month.
@LatashaMorrison @BAbridgebuilder @nytimes 2/ @KwekArday and I have been privileged to host a Be the Bridge group at our children’s school for the last 3 years. I was thinking about all the people that are utilizing the Be the Bridge resources at this pivotal moment in our nation’s history.
@LatashaMorrison @BAbridgebuilder @nytimes @KwekArday 3/ I am grateful that long before we knew that we would need resources for this moment, God was working in the heart of Latasha with a vision for a revolutionary movement.
@LatashaMorrison @BAbridgebuilder @nytimes @KwekArday 4/ #bethebridge didn’t just spring up in 2020, it took many years of planning and revisions so that at just the right time, we would have a Godly resource available to meet the moment.
@LatashaMorrison @BAbridgebuilder @nytimes @KwekArday 5/ Don’t take that for granted and make sure you compensate for resources that you are using in this time. They are the culminations of years worth of work!
@LatashaMorrison @BAbridgebuilder @nytimes @KwekArday 6/ In the words of Mordecai, “And who knows but that all of [the fighters against racial injustice] have come to [this moment] for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14b)

@5pointpastor @ReformedBritt @tisaiahcho 1/ Thanks for the dialog. I am grateful to have a respectful conversation with my co-laborer in the gospel.

You raised a couple of good points, that I want to respond to in-kind.
2/ A) Sometimes in discussions, I like to remove some of the loaded language that causes us to miss the meat of the issue.
3/ So for discussion sake, let me temporarily not use the term "racial justice" First, I posit that the world (and the church) is not doing a good job of treating all of God's image bearers justly.

1/ I have some thoughts on #Trumps unveiling of the 1776 Project last night. The President said “We want our sons and daughters to know that they are the citizens of the most exceptional nation in the history of the world.”
whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat…

What I believe that President Trump gets incorrect is the difference between aspirational goals and the lived out reality. You can say that America is an exceptional nation but the lived reality for Black Brown and First Nations people is quite different.
3/ It is truly disingenuous to say that those who offer a more detailed critique of our nations history are anti-American antagonists or unpatriotic. Who has the right to critique us? Nobody? Or those who the President claims are a part of this great and free nation

Let’s talk about the fallacy of “displaying strength.” It appears to be a derivative of the power of positive thinking or in church circles prosperity thinking. But often underlying these worldviews is an inability to acknowledge any negative circumstances. This is not helpful
Or an act of faith. I think guidance can be found in Romans 4:18-19. “Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.
Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead.”
Romans 4:18-19 NIV

1/ So last night, there was a lot of noise about the canceling of "critical race theory" and "white privilege" training in the executive branch.

First, as a pastor and a lawyer, I support all training that bring us towards a more just society and dismantles systemic racism. ImageImage
2/ We, the people, acknowledge that the preamble to the Declaration of Independence has never fully been realized. Image
3/ "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

1/ This year I entered deeper into my 40s and am grateful for another year of life. As I look across my threads, I see so many connections from some of the most treasured part of my life. ImageImageImageImage
2/ I have had the privilege of building memories and having engaging twitter discussions with many of you.

Yet, in the midst of this birthday, I wanted to share a part of me that is often hidden in the midst of my big smile and boisterous laugh. Image
3/ This has been a tough year for me and my family. In the midst of all of these wonderful experiences, I have been battling against Stage 5 of Chronic Kidney Disease and am on the kidney transplant list. I have been resonating with the song by @VaShawnMitchell called Joy.

Put politics aside for a moment. The thing that irked me yesterday about the interview with President Trump was the lack of good basic leadership traits. Any leader that cannot be introspective, admit mistakes and grow from it is not fit to lead in my humble opinion.
Similarly any leader who cannot put the needs of the people they are leading ahead of their own needs or self-esteem is unfit to lead.
Instead of being a President leading a nation in mourning, President Trump couldn’t recognize any of @repjohnlewis accomplishments because of perceived personal slight during the inauguration and SOTU.
