Some profit off of hunger, but it is the apathy to this fact that allows it to persist.

I had the pleasure of hosting around 150 colleagues from across the ELCA in Columbus last week who are all working to address hunger in their community.

During our time, we visited the Mid-Ohio Food Collective Farm, Church and Community Development for All People, Mid-Ohio Food Collective Fresh Market, and Shepherd’s Corner. Attendees also heard panelists and experts talk about policy, efforts around the globe and locally in our own backyards, and new strategies of collaboration and communications to strengthen our local efforts to end hunger.

This will be an accurate headline when public leaders prioritize ending childhood hunger.

Addressing toxic masculinity can help us reduce the spread of Christian Nationalism. Toxic masculinity leads to violence in our world that is sadly and too often celebrated within Christian Nationalist spaces.

How can Christian faith leaders engage in the public sphere while still respecting the religious diversity that strengthens our community? Simply ask, "Where is the Love?" is a good guide to building up a community that respects diversity, love, and a world where all shall receive their daily bread.

Rooting for team USA is patriotic not nationalistic. A reflection on John 6

When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?” And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.  But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
