In the labyrinth of Christian vernacular, “forgive and forget” stands out as a particularly misleading directive—one that’s as conspicuously absent from the Bible as humility from a televangelist’s repertoire. This phrase, peddled with zeal typically reserved for last-minute conversions, is about as scripturally sound as a prosperity gospel pamphlet found in a Vegas casino’s trash can. It’s the ultimate spiritual mic drop, tossed around with the intention to obliterate conflict and soothe souls, yet it remains an unbiblical farce, a... Read more

In a world where the word ‘love’ is as overused as the phrase “thoughts and prayers,” it’s about time we sift through the glittery jargon to uncover what this four-letter word truly means, especially within the realms of Christianity. Gone are the days when love was a radical act, a divine disruptor that turned societal norms on their heads. Now, it seems we’re stuck with a watered-down, emoji-version of love – all style, no substance. The Authentic Essence of Love... Read more

Welcome to the world where divine decrees are as common as dollar-store theology, and today’s special on the menu is the ever-popular quip of one’s God-given right to self-defense. You’ve heard it in political rallies and during Sunday sermons. But let’s be real – is this phrase a ticket to divine-endorsed murder, or just another chapter in the grand American tradition of baptizing our biases?  In a country where the Bible doubles as a political manifesto, this phrase has become a mantra... Read more

In the conservative Christian realm, an intriguing trend is emerging. Enter the Trad Wife movement: a throwback to the 1950s where aprons and pies reign supreme. Yet, beneath its wholesome exterior lurks something tantalizing – a conservative brand of kink. The movement initially seems like a longing for the past, where gender roles were clear-cut, and women’s domain was the home. But look closer, and you’ll see shades of BDSM – power, control, and strict role adherence. Trad Wives, seeking... Read more

Welcome to this masterclass in Christian Projection, where the devoutly delusional turn mirrors into windows. In this sacred art form, the faithful are adept at spotting the speck in their brother’s eye while conveniently ignoring the plank in their own. It’s a spiritual sleight of hand, a divine deflection if you will. Projection, for the uninitiated, is the psychological phenomenon where individuals attribute their own thoughts, feelings, and motives to someone else. It’s like saying, “I’m not angry, you’re angry!” but with... Read more

In this episode of Snarky Faith, we’re joined by the eclectic Dr. Jonathan Foster, an author who marries theology with raw human emotion in his latest book, Indigo – the Color of Grief.

Indigo isn’t just a book; it’s a journey through the labyrinth of the human heart, grappling with... Read more

The Supreme Court’s recent rulings, like some sort of holy high court, have been dabbling in the divine, blurring the lines in a way that would make even the prophets do a double-take. In decisions like Groff v. DeJoy and 303 Creative v. Elenis, they’ve given religious accommodations a front-row seat, making it seem like the Constitution is a living, breathing scripture open for interpretation. It’s a slippery slope when legal decisions start sounding like they’re straight out of a... Read more

Sean Feucht, dubbed the ‘Ramen Shaman’ for his noodle-esque hairdo, would be laughable if he weren’t so alarmingly influential as a poster boy for dominionism—a belief in Christian control over societal and political institutions. This self-proclaimed Christian nationalist, who gained notoriety with his Let Us Worship tour during the COVID-19 lockdowns, has made a lucrative career from blending religious fervor with right-wing political theatrics. Feucht’s antics aren’t just about spreading the gospel. They’re about promoting a politically charged version of Christianity, more... Read more

The season of gratitude is upon us, and let’s be real, it’s also the season of testing our patience, especially when it involves the annual familial clash of the titans over a stuffed bird. Remember Matthew 16:26? “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain a full plate (or full belly) and lose his own soul?” This verse might as well be the unofficial motto of Thanksgiving dinners across America. I learned long ago that Thanksgiving is what... Read more

The Hypocrisy Hoedown In the grand masquerade ball of conservative politics and evangelical Christianity, there’s an elephant in the room doing the cha-cha slide. It’s the staggering hypocrisy of leaders who preach purity while practicing the opposite. It’s like watching a sitcom, only the laugh track is replaced with the sound of moral backpedaling. Let’s dive into this divine comedy of errors where projection isn’t just a job for movie theaters. The Projection Predicament “Thou doth protest too much,” Shakespeare... Read more
