The impact of Jesus’ feminism has yet to be fully realized. Even famous women receive an extraordinary amount of abuse. Women are attacked with sexual innuendo and threats of sexual violence online. Feminists who ask for basic respect and equality are belittled. If a woman calls out gender bias, she is likely to hear, “strident bitch with no sense of humor!” In our culture, an admirably strong woman is deemed “not a lady.” Being seen as nurturing is also seen...

To my Family, the men and women in uniform and to the American People, As the Middle East falls into the grip of Islamic extremist terror unleashed by ISIS and others too numerous to count, it has become clear to me — at last — that my arrogance and stupidity alone led to this cataclysm. Attacking Iraq was a hubristic folly. The consequences were and are about to be fatal to millions of people– from our service people killed,... Read more

Humility begins with admitting how short life is, how little time we have, how small our knowledge will ever be about the so-called big questions. It is in the moments of inner stillness that come from humility and unknowing that we can sense the presence of God. Will you help me spread the word on... Read more

PLEASE watch this video clip! Here’s proof that we are a racist nation losing our civil rights while watching as our black brothers and sisters are brutalized. Yes, we are a racist nation. Period. There is a strong growing fascist movement building in the pro-gun, pro- law enforcement community. Post 9/11 we’ve become paranoid and deluded turning local cops into over-armed vigilantly storm troopers. America is now an NRA wet dream. Chris Hayes is a friend of mine. Watch this moving clip...

NOTE: If you come from an evangelical background and feel anguish you are not alone. Here’s proof! I get 20-30 emails and FB messages a day from readers of my new book expressing anguish over their religious backgrounds. I answer all of them. I learn more from my readers than they learn from me. Here’s one exchange I found very moving. (Printed here by permission, name changed.) Take hope. Sat, Aug 16, 2014 12:26 pm Frank: It is such a relief... Read more
