I don’t have a teenager yet, so I can’t say whether I would say such things about my children’s friends at that age. I certainly can’t imagine saying such a thing about one of my children’s friends now. Click through to read more! Read more

Are Pastors About to Be Jailed for Hate Crimes? No.
September 4, 2019 By Libby Anne

Gohmert was corruptly lambasted for what he said. He either was terrible at communication what he actually meant, or there are a whole bunch of pastors out there denouncing immigrants in the worst or terms. And. Well. That could absolutely be the case. I haven’t been to any church in years, and I’ve never been to church in Texas. Click through to read more! Read more

Should Evangelicals Kiss Homeschooling Goodbye?
September 3, 2019 By Libby Anne
0 Comments
Last month, World Magazine responded to Christian purity culture advocate Josh Harris’s fall from grace with an article titled “Harris and homeschooling: One man’s apostasy doesn’t undermine a way of teaching children.” The headline alone made something jump inside me. Of course people would be asking this question. I’d been so focused on Josh’s purity teachings that I’d forgotten the implications his “apostasy” might have for homeschooling. I grew up in a Christian homeschooling family. I left my evangelical faith over… Read more

Happy “I’m Sorry We Shot Those Strikers” Day!

It’s Labor Day! You know, that holiday we’ve all forgotten has with the word “labor” in it! Labor, as in the labor movement. Who knew! Labor Day is just a fun three day weekend at the end of the summer, am I right? Mind you, I’m not complaining. I love me a three-day weekend! But just what is the history of Labor Day? Read more

Stepping Heavenward: Dueling Maternal Confessions
August 30, 2019 By Libby Anne
0 Comments
This week is an interesting one, because it’s going to allow us to make a direct comparison between Stepping Heavenward and Little Women. Weirdly direct. Essentially the exact same conversation takes place between Marmee and Jo, and between Katy and her mother—except that the two are actually very different. Click through to read more! Read more

Should Evangelicals Compare Themselves to Blacks Under Jim Crow?
August 29, 2019 By Libby Anne
0 Comments
Perhaps I’m letting a focus on French’s history get in the way of addressing a more important point: French’s comparison of evangelicals’ current situation to that of African Americans under Jim Crow. To be sure, he states that evangelicals live in “far less trying times” than did black Americans during the civil rights era. But the fact that he felt the need to make the comparison at all shows the depth of the evangelical persecution complex. Click through to read more! Read more

What Is a Racist?
August 27, 2019 By Libby Anne
0 Comments
I’m reminded of the evangelical focus on faith instead of works, where what matters is what is in your heart, not what you do. You can’t work your way to heaven, after all—and only God knows the heart. Or so the framing goes. Is the same thing happening here? Are we so focused on what is in people’s hearts—on whether people are racist—that we’ve spent too little time focusing on actions, and on the outcomes of specific beliefs or policies?
