yesterday 2/3 of my brothers and i were talking about some of the weird ways christians talk about anxiety and youngest brother said ‘i was just thinking about both moses and elijah who begged god to let them die appearing with jesus in the transfiguration who begged god to let him live’

Let’s talk about the long and often overlooked history of Christian protest — because it didn’t start in the 1960s, and it definitely didn’t end there either.

It begins with Jesus.

Jesus didn’t just preach love—he practiced resistance. Not passive submission, but a deep, active nonviolence that challenged empire, religious hypocrisy, and social injustice.

He refused to meet violence with violence.

He flipped tables, not people.

He told his followers to turn the other cheek—not out of weakness, but as a form of nonviolent confrontation that exposed injustice.

When facing Pilate, he said: “My kingdom is not of this world”—a political statement rejecting the authority of empire, while refusing to stoop to its tools.

Yesterday was Pentecost. Our advocate the Holy Ghost is out haunting the streets. She is anointing the heads of her apostles and they are speaking in tongues of righteous rage, of Love that refuses to look away, of compassion and protection. Christ is in the crowd, overturning tables and driving out agents of greed and evil. The young are having visions of what will happen if power is left unchecked and the old are dreaming dreams of justice.

Join me in praying for all migrant workers, regardless of their citizenship or legal status. Pray for the safety and bravery of everyone protesting these raids in my city of Phoenix and in the LA area. Pray for the courage of everyday neighbors to shield and protect the targeted. Pray for the stirring of the hearts in federal agents. Pray for the repentance of this administration.

17 “‘In the last days, God says,

    I will pour out my Spirit on all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy,

    your young men will see visions,

    your old men will dream dreams.

Acts 2:17, a verse I am thinking a lot about lately. Could also be:

Your children will speak to you with wisdom and will challenge your rulers with justice

Your young people will glimpse at the glory of heaven,

And your old will remain full of hope and will dream new dreams

love when I'm pleading with God to tell me what to do about an ongoing difficult situation, only to realize He's been telling me what to do for weeks and I've just been plugging my ears and loudly going 'LALALALA' so I can ignore it

For the psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists and all who research the causes of suicidality and provide treatment to people who are suicidal, may God grant them wisdom and compassion. We pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy.

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
