#1 The religious narcissist

I’m a pediatric specialty therapist and a convert to the Catholic faith – I’m a part-time seminarian – and while I remain faithful to my church I feel that it is time to speak out in favor of affirming the identities of LGBTQIA+ youth....

#2 Not all idols are made of stone: Evangelical idolatry and the midterms

It was the philosopher William James who observed in his The Varieties of Religious Experience, “there can be no doubt that as a matter of fact a religious life, exclusively pursued, does tend to make the person exceptional and eccentric.”...

#3 I’m sorry Judge Jackson: Defending political fundamentalism over Black lives

The nomination and expected confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court has put on display the ever-widening political and cultural divide in the United States....

#4 Republicans can’t be Christian

I am going to say something controversial, “Republicans can’t be Christians.” To the vast majority of Christians, I just said something unthinkable, especially if one is of the evangelical stripe of Christianity. I can feel the anger swelling up in some readers as they instantly find this notion absolutely ridiculous....

#5 Evangelicals lose a poet, pundit, and president. Have they lost their testimony?

Coming of age in the 1980s, I was the poster child for American Evangelicalism at every intersection of its emerging influence, including politics and entertainment. Rush Limbaugh provided my political education and Carman (Carmelo Domenic Licciardello) provided the soundtrack....

I’m one of those old guys who posts on TikTok. My content there has a lot of consonance with the content we publish on Faith on View. The other day, I posted about being received into the Episcopal Church....

#7 The shaping of me: Discovering Jesus amongst complexity

My own spiritual pilgrimage began at an early age. I grew up in a home with a true evangelist for a dad. David Allbritton was a fiery preacher who cared deeply for people being “born again.”...

#8 Taking the Lord’s Name in Vain…what’s Trump got to do with it?

I have a lot of respect for Miroslav Volf. I typically find his perspective rather insightful. But, like all of us he can go too far sometimes. He recently shared a comment on Facebook which was both liked and shared quite a bit....

#9 Why I Hate Evangelicals

I had an interesting experience a few years back. A message was sent to me on social media from a family member asking me, “Why do you hate evangelicals?” If you follow this website or know me personally that may seem like a weird question. I’m a lifelong Baptist who is now teaching at my third evangelical college....

#10 Separating the sheep from the gloats: Lamenting Evangelicals’ response to abortion reversal

With the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the United States Supreme Court, evangelical cultural warriors are rejoicing, even gloating, over this political victory. And make no mistake, this is a political victory made possible by the support of evangelicals for a corrupt president Donald Trump...
