Very wild times we are living in. I’m not putting any money on Tucker Carlson continuing to be on the right side of history, but I do appreciate that Ted Cruz never expected to have to actually back up what he was saying. Unfortunately, Ted’s line of reasoning is incredibly common amongst American Christians. It fails even the most basic moral test. Nowhere in scripture are we told to give unquestioned support to a nation as they indiscriminately bomb civilians. Politicians rely on Christians to

Brian Recker shared how his dad’s “radical conversion” at Bob Jones University didn’t just change his faith—it altered his whole family dynamic. Relatives felt like they lost him as he came home preaching and trying to convert them. That mindset trickled down to Brian’s own childhood, shaping holidays, friendships, and even the way he viewed people he loved. Fundamentalism made it clear: we were right, everyone else was wrong. | Preacher Boys

Brian Recker on Instagram: "Jesus never condemned other religions, but he did condemn the way that his own religion was used and abused by the powerful, to exclude people and gate-keep god. If Christian proclamation looks like division, othering, and cultural superiority, you can be sure that it is not the gospel being proclaimed. I’m not sure what this pastors ethnic background is, but he is preaching a gospel of whiteness. A vision for the world that not only centers European norms but believe

Brian Recker on Instagram: "These monks walking for peace are far closer to the Spirit of Christ than a Christian telling people that they need to convert to their religion. We do need to be converted: Not to a set of dogmas, but from tribalism to neighbor love. From scapegoating the vulnerable to lifting up the vulnerable. From exclusion to compassion. I am praying for these monks, that their journey and example could sow seeds of a spiritual revival and a return to love. 🩷 If you grew up beli

Brian Recker on Instagram: "Liam Ramos and his family were here legally, going through a legal refugee process. But honestly, even if they had crossed the border illegally, I do not believe 5 year olds ever deserve to be in a concentration camp. And when you accept the logic that sometimes it’s okay to send 5 year olds to concentration camps, you have embraced the logic of death, and you are losing your humanity."
