Two Books That You Need To Read…NOW.

Last updated on: September 17, 2014 at 2:31 pm By Brandan Robertson

It has been an incredibly busy season of life for me. In fact, I have never been involved in more projects and jobs than I am currently involved in. I am loving every minute of it and am learning a ton. But as a result, some of the things I would have liked to have blogged about have gone by the wayside. But today I wanted make sure that I made time to let you know about two books (that... Read more

Is Evangelicals For Marriage Equality “Shaming Evangelical Publications”?

Last updated on: September 12, 2014 at 4:11 pm By Brandan Robertson

Earlier today, my friend Jonathan Merritt released an article at Religion News Service that criticized Evangelicals For Marriage Equality for “shaming” Christianity Today, Relevant, and WORLD Magazine for not carrying our organization’s advertisement. Though well intentioned, I think Jonathan fundamentally misunderstood why we referenced the rejections of our ad from these magazines. We affirm the right of any and all publications to be able to decide whom they allow to advertise within their pages. That’s one of the beautiful benefits of a free press and... Read more

A 9/11 Prayer

Last updated on: September 10, 2019 at 3:36 pm By Brandan Robertson

On this most solemn of morning for Americans, there are always a wide range of emotions. Can you believe that it has been 13 years since that fateful September morning when our nation was attacked? I was in fourth grade. I remember the day so vividly in my mind. Today, I sit in my office in Washington D.C. looking out over the busy streets. Flags are flying at half-mass to call to memory all of those who were lost. I... Read more

Al Mohler Critiques Me & Evangelicals for Marriage Equality

Last updated on: September 10, 2014 at 11:36 am By Brandan Robertson

Good Morning Friends! As I am participating in the launch of Evangelicals for Marriage Equality we are receiving a wide range of response from very supportive to very critical. This morning, Dr. Al Mohler, a man I have met with personally on a few occasions and really respect despite our theological and political differences, offered a critique of my op-ed in TIME magazine on his daily podcast. It’s certainly worth a listen: http://www.albertmohler.com/2014/09/10/the-briefing-09-10-14/ These are the types of conversations we are working... Read more

I’m an Evangelical For Marriage Equality (A New Role)

Last updated on: September 9, 2014 at 9:58 am By Brandan Robertson

Today is a big day for me.For over a year, I have been a part of a collaborative effort with a good number of evangelical pastors, authors, politicos, and journalists to create a new organization focused on changing the hearts and minds of evangelicals on the issue of Marriage Equality. Today, that organization is officially launching. And not only that. But today, I am excited and privileged to announce that I get to serve as the spokesperson of Evangelicals for... Read more

What Makes Someone A Christian?

Last updated on: September 6, 2014 at 9:18 am By Brandan Robertson

Over the past four years of my blogging career, I’ve probably addressed the question “What makes someone a Christian?” about twenty times. You would think that this would be one of the most basic (and most important) questions for Christians to be unified on, but like most matters relating to Christianity, things are never what they seem they should be. Yet throughout my interactions with other Christians online, I continue to find it necessary to stop and reaffirm what we’re... Read more

The Future of Christian Churches- Revangelical Survey Results

Last updated on: September 5, 2014 at 9:57 am By Brandan Robertson

A few weeks ago, I posted a survey on various pages across the Facebook-sphere representing Christians from every background asking them about the church they go to and about what they wish would change about churches they have been a part of in the future. To be honest, and without sounding arrogant, the results weren’t surprising. They reflected exactly what I, as well as the majority of young Christians are feeling. The reflect the hypothesis of the Revangelical movement as well... Read more

I only rarely use this blog space to share other peoples blogs, but today on Donald Millers Storyline website, the fabulous Shauna Niequist reflects on what it means to be a good friend. It is such a worthwhile and important little post that you would be better for reading. In it, Shauna reflects on a conversation shad had with our husband where they discussed some of their good friends and what makes them so good. From this conversation, she takes a way... Read more

When God Seems Distant

Last updated on: September 5, 2014 at 9:48 am By Brandan Robertson

We all go through spiritually rough periods in life. Sometimes, that period may last a few days. Other times, it may be a few months. And Occasionally, it may last a few years. But what do we do when our faith seems to be a dry as a desert and God seems as far away as the stars? What do we do when we feel lost in the world, left behind, or forsaken by God? Of course, we could quote... Read more
