Have You Ever Cried Over a Pair of Socks? A Reflection in Ministry

Last updated on: December 5, 2013 at 11:00 am By Guest Contributor

by Pastor Jason MikelSpecial to R3 I’ve never cried over a pair of socks. I’ve never even seen someone cry over a pair of socks. That all changed on Monday night though when a woman named Vicky showed up in an East Nashville parking lot for burritos. I didn’t quite know what to say when she looked up at me with big tears in the corners of her eyes. I’d just asked her if she needed a pair of socks because... Read more

A Pastor’s Suicide: Addressing Mental Health in Black Churches

Last updated on: December 1, 2013 at 9:01 pm By Guest Contributor

What are we to do when the spiritual leaders we expect to give us life take their own? I have been pondering this question, among many others, in the wake of national media reports about the suicide of 42-year old Teddy Parker Jr., pastor of Bibb Mount Zion Baptist Church, in Macon, Georgia. According to reports, Rev. Parker sent his wife and children to their church ahead of him on Sunday, November 10th. After Parker failed to appear at the church where he... Read more

(Some) Evangelicals Claim ‘Good Christians’ Can’t Get PTSD

Last updated on: November 30, 2013 at 7:02 pm By Guest Contributor

On a Veteran’s Day broadcast, two of America’s most influential televangelists claimed that good Christians can’t get PTSD. Kenneth Copeland, who is famous for pitching a fit when a senator tried to investigate his nonprofits and for inspiring a measles outbreak, said, “Any of you suffering from PTSD right now, you listen to me. You get rid of that right now. You don’t take drugs to get rid of it, it doesn’t take psychology; that promise right there [in the Bible] will get rid... Read more

Christians Have Not Been ‘Reading the Bible This Way For 2,000 Years’

Last updated on: November 29, 2013 at 12:00 pm By Guest Contributor

Whenever I write something critical of the relatively recent dogma of “biblical inerrancy,” someone always responds by insisting that Christians have been reading the Bible this way for 2,000 years. That’s not true. It’s not possible. Christians haven’t been reading the Bible this way for 2,000 years, because for most of the last 2,000 years, most Christians weren’t reading the Bible at all. For the first of those 20 centuries, Christians weren’t reading the New Testament because it was still... Read more

Last updated on: November 29, 2013 at 11:56 am By Guest Contributor

Yesterday, as I was writing articles in preparation for my upcoming book, I saw a flurry of messages via social media in regards to a panel discussion on Christian Hip-Hop by the National Center for Family-Integrated Churches. At first I paid no attention to the panel, but as a few tweets turned into a barrage I could not resist it any longer. After I listened to the panel, my heart immediately turned to anger and hurt. I was so enraged that... Read more
