Monetized despair has a long history. Image
It doesn't start with @SalemMediaGrp or Billy Graham or Martin Scorsese. But there's a trajectory. srnonline.com/show/the-charl…
Martin Scorsese? That's right, Martin Scorsese. Let @danielsilliman explain. christianitytoday.com/news/2020/may/…
If you can persuade the right people at the right time to shrink their lives down to the size of someone else's fear, you can fund your scam with public money. You can even target hospitals. Ask @MattWalshBlog. religionnews.com/2022/10/20/nas… Image
It gets weird. Image

I don't know where @JaySekulow & @JordanSekulow see themselves in the #ChristianMindProject or if they're considered partnered with @DavidAFrench or @JonahDispatch or others in the #HarlanCrowNetwork. But this thread surfaces hard-to-unsee patterns.
@JaySekulow @JordanSekulow @DavidAFrench @JonahDispatch Trigger warning. Image
"Sekulow's focus on truth, freedom and the Constitution is essential during these challenging times." @TulsiGabbard finance.yahoo.com/news/tulsi-gab…
@TulsiGabbard This is amazing to me. @MikeAustin, I have the impression that @JaySekulow & @JordanSekulow (of @SalemMediaGrp) broadcast from Tennessee. Am I wrong about that? @bobsmietana, do you know? @liamsadams? Just trying to keep up. apnews.com/article/distri…
I don't know if Tim Keller & Gary North were ever in communication with @JaySekulow, but I'd like to. Thoughts, @Isaacbsharp & @dpgushee?
"Back in the 1980s, @JaySekulow's career was in shambles. His Atlanta-based law firm had failed, leaving him millions in debt & bankrupt. Then he got a lifeline from a surprising source — the U.S. Supreme Court." @bobsmietana culteducation.com/group/1205-tv-…
@JaySekulow @bobsmietana Image
What do Sidney Powell, Jay Sekulow, & Harlan Crow have in common? @ByKLong & @TheNewsHam has the story. businessinsider.com/supreme-court-…
This gets at a thing within the #PrayerTrade & those who know better but see no advantage in knowing better out loud & in public. One thinks, for instance, of @KanakukFacts & the brave work of @NancyAFrench.
@KanakukFacts @NancyAFrench I keep forgetting about @ADFLegal. @dr_jessjohnson helps me remember that institutions are composed of interactions & arrangements between people. Go granular or go home.
@KanakukFacts @NancyAFrench @ADFLegal @dr_jessjohnson “'We are God’s enforcers in the earth for his will to be done,' @cindyjacobs declared...Like @dutchsheets, she carried a gavel." @ashtonpittman mississippifreepress.org/20042/to-rule-…
There are so many ways to be social. Image
Good luck, America.
This is where Billy Graham & Tim Keller & Francis Schaeffer & @TGC's decision to mostly ignore (or deride) the witness of Karl Barth & Daniel Berrigan & Reverend James Lawson has cost us dearly. From what I can discern, they embraced the #GaryNorthOption. Image
When I think of the influences that would, over time, make it harder for me to be granted access to the #InnerRing of the #ChristianMindProject, I think of @remhq & James Lawson & Will Campbell, but I also think of #StarTrek.
Listen.
When it isn't terror, "Christianity" can still refer to a form of moral accountability. I forget that sometimes. It's hard to forget it when I think of James Lawson & Fanny Howe & @DaultRadio. Consider this:

Yoda gestures in the direction of a cave. "That place is strong with the dark side of the Force. A domain of evil it is…And you must go.”

“Only what you take with you." 2/x

75: I didn't have the words #ChristianSupremacy yet. But I was seeing something.
76: "He called them together along with the workers in related trades and said, 'You know, my friends, that we receive a good income from this business.'" Acts 19:25
77: #ChristianSupremacy has a nasty habit of claiming authority over other people’s experience in the name of values & systems. Once I decree my experience “the Christian value system,” I can play Saruman on all day.

We're going to have to find ourselves beautiful
It will involve libraries
Of Country Music
Not as a genre
But a possibility,
A matter of opening
Again and again
The Book of what happened
Of learning to to savor the sighs
The incomplete sentences
Of other people,
To view with imagination and deep affection
Our addiction
To love
Our only hope
(We might as well face it)

That's....really too bad. @michaelwsmith, @rocketown is a treasured & sacred space (a real gift) you've given the city of Nashville. Please reconsider your decision to offer it as a platform to @johnrich (who bullied @lipscomb into firing @btpaschall, a prophet among us).
.@michaelwsmith, in light of this move, it's hard to know what to make of this song. If it's sincere, could you at least make sure someone who isn't all in for 45 also has access to a microphone at the event? In the interest of #Conversation?
This is still a lovely song and no decision to rent (or give) a space out to a white supremacist death cult will change that. I'd love to hear @mountain_goats sing it some time.

Really helpful thread from @wilsonhartgrove on a culture we share. I'll mention that Zinn (God love him) flew to Hanoi with Daniel Berrigan in 1968 to oversee the peaceful transfer of American POWs. Here's a little thread of my own...
Serving as a chaplain at Cornell, Berrigan received a call from Tom Hayden detailing an offer to release three American prisoners of war in celebration of the Buddhist Tet holiday.
Two representatives of the Nonviolent Movement of America would travel to Vietnam and conduct them back to America as a joint goodwill gesture. Zinn was his partner in international peace crime. Upon arrival, they each received an unconventional education in geopolitics.
