Great Revoice find from @ShawnMathis1972: a Student Ministry Director at a PCA church says he and his straight roommate have decided to become a "household" and, should the one marry a woman, she will become part of their "family." Clips incoming: pastormathis.com/index.php/2021…
"We're totally committed to finding a way to live together and function as a household...if I get a job someplace and that means a change of location, that's a decision we make as a family. When he has a wife one day, she'll make those decisions with us."
"There's this fear of falling in love...it makes me scared that it'll be painful to watch him get married...he just, like, loves me so much as his friend and his brother."
Bro.

I can't fathom how difficult celibacy is. Lots of respect for committing yourself to it.

But don't add the burden of constant friend-zoning to that. You know that's not gonna end well.
PRIVILEGE CHECK: "As a straight person, it's been so easy...for me to go: 'Well, I'm uncomfortable, so you need to change, because I'm in the majority'...Maybe I'm uncomfortable because of a good and healthy boundary, but maybe there's homophobia."

This week in WPCs: we looked to the Jude 3 Project to define "decolonizing theology." Aside from European surnames and "white Jesus" images, it did not get specific about what is colonized in yte churches, mostly just complained about racism in progressive churches.
Then we tried to explain to Eshon Burgundy's wife to explain that "you have to say Biblical names as the Cypher version prints them or you're pagan" is actually cultural imperialism. She got so mad that they gave me my first YT copy strike.
This one got pretty big. Caption is self-explanatory.

Ibram Kendi, speaking in a Manhattan church, says "antiracists" fundamentally reject "savior theology" ("the Christian is to go out and save these individuals who are behaviorally deficient") and embrace liberation theology ("the Christian is to revolutionize society").
To fit this on Twitter, I had to make an edit that I'm not too happy about. Here's wider context:

This week in WPCs: We covered a new appropriation of Revelation 21 from a UCLA prof who explicitly says his stretchy interpretation comes from CRT's "community cultural wealth" concept:
Rapper Eshon Burgundy now says Christianity is pagan because it translates the Messiah's name from Hebrew to Greek. Plus other wild and unsubstantiated things.
Went to a 2015 vid of Robert Chao Romero, the speaker at the start of the thread, turning Matthew 25 into a mandate for society-wide economic equity.

"Words+Motion" from Seattle's Quest Church (founded by Eugene Cho) on MLK Sunday. The name given for the narrator is listed on the church staff page as director of operations.

"Entrenched in America's endeavor for greatness is a carefully systematized lineage of power..."

"Show me any American institution forged by the ideals of a dominant white culture + I'll show you systems mass-produced to disseminate imbalances of power...living while black, breathing while black has become a gradual yielding to a more evolved reality of segregation."

"Fraudulent are the persons who are silent + inanimate to the horrific violence of police brutality against black bodies in America. Fraudulent are the persons who perpetuate systems of racial segregation in any form to appease the comforts of race + cultural supremacy."

"What if racism is a disorder + the majority of the white population does have it? They're dealing with a mental illness + they don't even know it...post-traumatic slave-MASTER disorder."

Watched Matt Chandler's latest sermon last week, "Ethnic Harmony," and there's a moment that's stuck in my craw. I know I'm gonna get dunked on for clipping it, because it sounds very 💌nice! So I'll do more than just my usual and break down what seems wrong with it.
"I'm trying to give you lenses by which to study your Bible...From that being your foundation, I would just encourage you to seek out other things to read that'll stretch you." (1/2)
"If I'm reading your stuff + you start talking to me about rescuing evangelicalism from colonialism...that evangelicalism has been co-opted by whiteness...what I've had to discipline myself to do is not throw people in categories but try to figure out what might be there." (2/2)
