When I say an interview is "good," I base that on the extent it causes me to think. And this interview was very, very good.

I pause to reflect on the news this morning of the FBI arresting a Wisconsin judge.

Trump's regime is strongly supported by people calling themselves "Christian." I am still trying to digest all this. I tend to write and opine as the spirit moves me -- and at the moment I just can't write much more...

But thank you.

I just heard that "Christian" Kristi Noem released the phone number of Mr. Garcia's wife to the public. She has needed to move to a safe area.

When I think about Christian nationalism and Minnesota, one name comes to mind, and that is Michele Bachmann. I wonder if Pat has any experience with her -- or her circle.

I don’t have direct experience with her, except for the low level embarrassment most Minnesotans feel about her. Mike Lindell, the My Pillow guy, is from the town where I went to high school - Mankato. So we’ve got a few of them. :)

So interesting! We are having trouble finding a church that does not have so many of these traits. We keep trying!

I’ve asked a few folks! Got a couple of recs for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd - a friend said she went to seminary with the pastor and I believe it’s a joint ELCA/PCUSA mix. Could be worth a shot but I don’t have a ton of info on it! Will keep asking around … here’s the link to the church where I serve: https://youtube.com/@lakenokomislutheranchurch1667?si=TCLqAHfZT76A132s (I preached yesterday). But I hope you can find a great local spot!!
