He unleashed a series of critiques aimed not only at Swaggart but at the long history of hypocrisy embedded in white evangelicalism. Swaggart had opened the floodgates by... Read more

He asks, “Why do my eyes hurt?” and Morpheus says, “Because you’ve never used them before.” That’s a great metaphor for learning to be your own spiritual advisor. Literally, learning to see for yourself with your own eyes and not relying on others to see for you. I was listening to someone on YouTube a few days ago talk about the... Read more

People believe things that have been debunked months or even years... Read more
