The Resurrection of Ms. Shade Schuler

Last updated on: March 27, 2016 at 12:20 pm By Jeff Hood

*Adapted from a post from August 2015. Less than a hundred feet from residences, local authorities discovered the badly decomposed body of a transgender woman of color. The Dallas Police Department put out a detailed description of the body and asked for help. For weeks, no one seemed to know who this woman was. When the woman was finally identified as 22-year-old Ms. Shade Schuler, I realized that she belonged to no one…she was forgotten. In the... Read more

Beware of the Palm Waivers

Last updated on: March 20, 2016 at 10:04 am By Jeff Hood

*I posted a version of this on Palm Sunday 2015 +The use of the word “waive” instead of the word “wave” is intentional. The people of Jerusalem waived their palms madly to celebrate the entry of Jesus into their town. Less than seven days later, Jesus was tortured and executed in the same place. Though Palm Sunday is a time to celebrate, I can never get past the fact that the same palm waivers either participated in or... Read more

Last updated on: December 6, 2016 at 2:49 pm By Jeff Hood

Jesus was enraged. The money changers were ripping off the poorest in the community. Jesus kicked them out. Why don’t we respond similarly? Is there any difference between the money changers and the payday lenders in our communities? I don’t think so. Where is our rage? Amen. Read more

Lenten Remix 35: The Occasional Heresy of Conversation

Last updated on: March 17, 2016 at 4:41 pm By Jeff Hood

When faced with a woman’s impending execution, Jesus got down in the dirt with her. If the stones had flown, Jesus would’ve died. Jesus didn’t entertain any conversation. Jesus remained silent and got down in the dirt. In our culture, we keep seeing people thrown in the dirt. Instead of joining the oppressed and marginalized, we keep asking for more conversation. We don’t believe in following Jesus. We believe in conversation. We are heretics. Amen. Read more

When a Black Cop Kills an Unarmed Child

Last updated on: March 16, 2016 at 11:41 pm By Jeff Hood

Here in Texas, justice is swift and injustice is too. When violence happens, one has to pay close attention to make sure they know the difference. Farmers Branch is known for injustice. Persons of color don’t get a fair shake within the city limits. Not too far up the road, there is a city called Addison. Things function similarly there. This is where the murder went down. Farmers Branch police officer Ken Johnson was working as a... Read more
